How often do you go grocery shopping?

I usually check the ads and go to the stores where I found something on a good sale. If nothing on sale, I buy only milk that week, and whatever else we need, usually produce, eggs, juice.

So my weekly spending might be anywhere between $10 and $70. Whatever I underspend or overspend rolls over to the next week. I try to make sure it averages $50/week.

i go (usually) every sunday for growers market (fresh fruit and veges, honey, nuts) and then a quick stop at the supermarket for a few thing. Sometimes I do a weekly shop at the supermarket, other times I do about three or four small shops in a week. It's on the way home from work - so no extra cost for petrol, and I am fine with just buying what I need - I normally don't get any extra items.

We go grocery shopping every week, but mainly beacuse there are 9 of us!

In the last year, I have started to go once a week, and I try not to forget anything. Saves so much time! I plan for 5-6 dinners/lunch(leftovers), make a list of what I need, and try too prepare what I can immediately when I get back to save time on weekday nights.

I usually make 2 stops, for example the fruit & veggie stop at a specialized store where I can get good quality, and a regular grocery store for the few meats & processed/canned stuff we have. Some others weeks, I go to an ethnic place a bit further which is "1 stop", and I then buy those little special spices, sauces, breads, ....
