Title: Grocery store
Post by: melodylogan45 on June 10, 2017, 05:42:54 am
How many times a week do you go to the grocery
Store? I go a few times sometimes, especially if I want
to get something to snack on before I go to work. I go afterwork,
at times too. Then me and my man will go on the weekends
for those heavier grocery shopping days. It is not the same everyweek
Sometimes I may not go before or after work at all.

since it's 8 miles to our store of choice, we try to limit visits to weekly and then try to combine it with other trips in the same direction.

It all depends on if I need something last minute.  I try and do all bulk shopping at once, usually after my SS check comes in.  The butcher is whenever I am near his shop!

Once a month but sometimes weekly depending on what is needed.

My husband does most of our grocery shopping.  He likes the bigger stores in the nearby small city over our local grocery store.  I stop here in town on my way home from work for small items we have run out of  (or forgotten)

I'm in a grocery store nearly every day. I work in one and my son works in the same store so when I'm not actually there I'm often driving him there or back. So shopping for me is pretty much all the time.  It's real handy for those at home to send a text saying pick up.... I try and keep a standard list of things on hand before I go so I don't leave without the basics.  However on my day off I shop at the store across the street for much of the stuff we need. Even with my discount.... a lot of stuff is cheaper over there as far as stock up stuff goes.

I'd say we're trying to get back to shopping once a week. It can be difficult with a family and the furr babies who often need something.

I try to go once a week.... I like shopping but I don't want to go too often if I can avoid it.

I go weekly on average. It primarily depends on whenever I have a food shortage or lack.

I guess that's worth it whenever you forget a few things.

I go on a big shopping trip at the beginning of the month for house supplies  ... then 2 times a week for food shopping!

I go 2-3 times a week...  I add alot of stuff to my fur-kids diet (raw meats, organic greens/veggies & berries, Kefir, etc) and make them bone broth and their treats.

There's 5 of them and they all have different dietary needs.  The latest needs to work on building up her immune system and I just started trying fresh, local honey with her for her seasonal allergy problem.  It would be great if ONE store carried everything I needed for them but they don't.  So sometimes I can get it all in 2 shopping trips a week, sometimes it's more depending on how well stocked the stores are when I go.

Some of their health essentials and their food mixes, I order on-line.  It helps out so much!!

Grocery stores are all over my area and I go at least once or twice a week. However, I also buy from the farmer's market too due to loyalty and to save a little on organic produce/goods.
Title: Re: Grocery store
Post by: davissy on June 11, 2017, 10:05:08 pm
I usually go once per week, I look through the flyers to see where the best deals are and go to that store.

I generally go to Kroger once a week.  If we need an item or two, we will run over to the little community store.

Depending upon how many grandkids I have is how many times that I go to the store. Some of them can eat.

My husband and I go once a week for a big shopping and then I might have to go another day if something runs out or something unexpected comes up (such as friends asking us for dinner and I need to bring something.)

I have 2 grocery stores that I go to. the main one I go once every week. the second I go once every 2 weeks. The second one has very good sales and a few things I can't find at the other.
sometimes I stop by the main one if I forgot something or need something quick.
idon't like to grocery shop I try not to make extra stops and spend money. :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

I go around 2 or 3 times a week in the beginning of the month, and then maybe once a week after the 15th.

I go every couple of weeks unless I've slipped up and ran out of something.  My husband goes to a local grocery store every day to get what we'll eat for supper that evening.  Just a habit he got into years ago.

Post by: betlynjua on June 13, 2017, 12:04:27 pm
We go around 2 to 3 times a week.  ( It appears as though many other posters do the same ). LOL

Then maybe once a month or so we do a bigger shopping to stock items. 

Now if you want to talk about shopping for our pets, that's a whole different thing.  I think I'm always shopping for them.  Of course there are many more of them then there are my husband and me.   :cat:  :cat:

My husband only gets paid once a month so we do the big shopping trip at the end of the month on payday. Then we usually have a stop in trip once or twice a week for those things we tend to forget.

Title: Re: Grocery store
Post by: adriarobi on June 19, 2017, 01:57:56 pm
I go about once every two weeks.

I live on a frugal budget, so I try to keep it down, and only for necessities.

Unless....I run to a local convenience store for ice cream occasionally  :)

Usually 2-3 times a week. I go once on the weekend and then stop while I'm out during the week.

We go about every 2 weeks, running in for the milk and ice cream etc. that runs out.

I try to go only every week or two but you inevitably forget a couple of things you needed and have to make a stockup trip.

I try to go once a week, but often there are quick trips for things that I have forgotten during the rest of the week.

Once a week works great for our family.

There used to be a Kroger near me, but they closed it down, so now I go to Harvey's or Wal-Mart.

I used to go almost if not every day.  I am handicapped and I struggle to bring the stuff in the house when I get home from the store.  Got sick of that and so now I go when my sons have off so that they can bring it in the house when I get home.
Title: Re: Grocery store
Post by: pmagalei on June 21, 2017, 08:55:12 am
Usually once a week probably Saturday. We used to have 2 Albertson's in town but now there is only one. If I have to go a second time it will be for a minor thing but once big shopping is enough for our family.

I go about every 2 weeks but sometimes I have to make an extra trip here and there.  My husband goes to a small grocery store not far from the house every day.  He buys the meat for supper there as we decide on a daily basis what we want to eat for supper.
