How often do you go grocery shopping?

I make one big trip a week. Inevitably I am in there mid week for milk and a stray item or two.

I try to go once every two weeks, that way I won't spend as much money.

We visit walmart every day... we go, we get things, and by the time we leave the parking lot we realize we've forgotten something and have to go back the next day.

I usually go twice a week to two stores. I only buy what's on sale at its lowest sale price. I stockup on it so I will have enough for my family till the items go back on sale the next time. Sometimes I only go once a week or not at all if there is nothing I need at the moment.

I'm a big fan of couponing but sometimes I don't have coupons and still save half with BOGO sales. My budget for food is just $50 a month for two people. We always have plenty of food!

Back home, I went twice a week often because the grocery was close and I had a car. On campus, I only just started going a few weeks ago when I remembered that the bus here is actually supposed to be reliable. Now I figured out I can go once a week pretty easily, only problem is I can't make the fruit I get last that long... I eat it all in the first few days, then eat all the frozen veggies for the rest of the week.

I say other because, it depends on funds at the time. Also, depends on if something is needed.

I'm going on Saturday, to do a $250 grocery trip. Many of those items should last about 3-4 weeks. All depends on coupons and sales. Of course, I'll still need to buy some things in between.

Usually just pick up stuff that is quickly expiring every few days like fruits and veggies, but the main stuff is just for the weekends. I go through juice every week though.

I said every other day. Which I do. But that is for little shopping only. It is only me. But I do big shopping once a month.

I usually go every couple of weeks but I do have to make a trip to get things like milk and bread at least once.

I go a couple of times a week. I usually go on my bicycle, so I usually just get enough to fill 2 reusable bags.

My wife also goes to different stores once or twice a week (Asian groceries, mainly), for fresh veggies and other stuff.

The closest full sized grocery store is about a half hour away, so I really plan when I go to the store. We have a convenience store within walking distance, but those prices are high.

We usually go right after pay day on a day we both have off. Occasionally my partner will pick up things we run out of when he gets off work but our big shopping trips only happen once every other week.

2-3 times a week for a few things. Usually at the beginning of the month we'll go nuts and get all of our non-perishables for the month (sauces, grains, canned things, dry goods) and then get fresh things throughout the week as needed.

I hate pushing a buggy around the store, so I usually stop every other day and pick up enough stuff to last me until my next trip.

One big trip every other week for most of our supplies, and probably two smaller trips a week for odds and ends.

Nearly every day. Firstly, my fridge is tiny. And secondly, I like my food fresh.

I go whenever I feel well enough to do it, but it's usually once every 2-3 weeks, I like to do all at once. When it's fresh fruit & veggie season & my garden isn't yet producing, I may go weekly to buy those. I'm a prepper, so I have enough non-perishable food to live on for months & it comes in handy when I get too sick. I don't have to panic that I have no food & no way to get it, plus I don't have to bother anyone else to help me. I now live close to a 24hr big grocery store & being able to go at any time, when there's few people is so nice, I will probably go more often in the future.
