  • How often do you grocery shop?

    I try to hit the store once a month for my main shopping trip and then weekly trips for milk, fruit and veggies.

    I have been trying to cut back to once a week.

        Once a week.
        Now with Dad passing away and Mom going to a Home, we have a second fridge, so I'll try to talk my sister into making it a bi-weekly trip...

          Every few days I grab something. But then again I work at the store so temptation is higher. But it's usually stuff we need. I rarely buy stuff I want because I saw it was on sale. Being that the store I work it as twice the price of Walmart or Superstore makes it easier to not buy.

            Once a week and anything that is forgotten I have to go by bike to get ( about a 30 minute bike ride) - my wife is getting very good at not forgetting due to the fuss I make every time she does

              I shop once a week after the sales papers come out. I pick up basic stuff that does not come on sale once a month then once a week I get fresh produce and loss leaders.

                I try to go only once a week. I stick to it unless something unexpectantly comes up such as making a meal for someone at church. We don't usually get more than a few days notice, or when the girls forget to tell me we ran out of dog food.

                When I use to go more frequently, I spent too much money. Now that I have cut it down, I noticed a hugh decrease in my spending.

                  I used to shop once a month, and then switched to every other week. Now I am shopping every thursday. I am actually saving money doing it this way. I don't know if it's because I hit some good sales or what? But I LOVE saving $$$

                    I go once every two weeks.. Except today, I cooked for someone, and have to get fixings for their favorite meal, so I have to make exception.

                        I go too much--two or three times a week. There is a lot of running out to get stuff for the next day, or stopping by the store on my way home. Mostly because we don't plan menus in advance. I need to start using up drygoods that I buy on sale and then just accumulate in the cupboards.

                          Once a week. I have to go when time is alotted. If I run out of something, I just stop before picking CJ up.
