Grocery shopping

[Puckstop31]

Once a month for meat and other staples... We go to BJs for that stuff. Then once a week or so for pop, produce and things Hannah might need.

I need to get some venison in the freezer early this year. Then I'd have an excuse for a bigger chest freezer. LOL It would be nice to make the trip to BJs a bi-monthly thing, but I need more freezer space for that.

I go whenever I feel like it. Once, twice a week, even daily sometimes.
The supermarket is about a mile away.....and there's never much traffic here where I live....10 cars on the road at once is peak hour.

It depends. But we usually make several trips a week. We have one big shopping trip, but then we go back once a week usually for anything else we decide we want or that we've forgotten.

Then again, we're within 3-4 miles (if even that much) of 4 grocery stores and a WalMart.

Once or twice a week. There's no way produce will stay fresh for a month.

I always make detailed lists, covering the menus for the week. Our store is close, and I get great mileage, so don't worry about that aspect. We do shop at CostCo for detergents, Kleenex and the like. We go there about every 4 months.

The only thing I can't buy for the month is milk and produce, but my DIL is at the store so often, she picks them up.

All my once a month shopping is done and Walmart and Sam's. I did make an unscheduled trip to the local Food Lion yesterday for one of their super sales - Breyers ice cream at $1.99 - regular $6.49. I bought 8 half gallons and my DIL bought 4. Of course I couldn't do that without the big freezer in the garage. We're BIG ice cream eaters here, so I always stock up when they have one of these sales.

I do one large order every month and buy only what I put on my list. Mostly stock up on meats and a few other staples I might need. Hubby is always going to the mall ( 15 minutes away ) so he picks up fresh produce as we need it or stuff that I spot is on sale for a huge difference in price. I don't like ovestocking my cupboards, makes it too tedious to clean when I have to haul out a bunch of stuff I "forgot" I had...such a waste.

A couple times a week, for small stuff and produce, one a week for a "big shop," but I am only 1 mile from the grocery store and pass one wherever I am going, so it's not a big deal. I do combine trips/errands to save time and gas, though.

Once a week. My boyfriend is not a stocker. If something sits in the cabinet too long he claims it's "too old". We pretty much get the same things EVERY week. If the meat is on sale (buy one get one free) we will of course get the free one. We do not have a lot of freezer space. Plus I have to get a bag of carrots for the dogs each week.
I work right across the street from Costco so my co-worker and I sometimes make a trip at lunch to get a few items....and a cheap hot dog for lunch.
