Hi Suzanne,
Indeed the preposition 'sans' ( opposite of 'avec') doesn't use any articles -
Je suis sortie sans argent = I went out without any money
Il est sortie sans parapluie = He went out without an umbrella
You will sometimes use a possessive -
Je suis sortie sans mon sac = je suis sortie sans sac
Hope I haven't confused you!
