How often do you go grocery shopping? And how many stores?

Too often....

At least twice a week. I typically go to one store since it is literally next to the gym I go to daily. Every 4-6 weeks, I pick up pantry and household items from target or Walmart.

Once a week, one store. I shop on mondays so occasionally I have to run out during the weekend if we're going to someone's house and I need to bring something but otherwise I can get through a week easily. We get granola bars and a few household goods from s&s monthly.

I tend to have a Whole Foods delivery every 5-6 days. I also do a target run every other week and a Trader Joe’s fun once a month or so.

I do major shopping once a week. I also hit up some smaller markets or Stew Leonard’s during that week. With kids it’s not easy to run in quickly so I go once when they are in school and once at night.

Once a week for the bulk of what I need. I will pop back into the supermarket or a produce market during the week for a few more things if I run low on things.

Once a week- 2 stores. if S&S is having a decent produce day & we don't need any fish, we can sometimes skip whole Foods.

Re: How often do you go grocery shopping? And how many stores?

2x week, Sunday and Thursday, or Tuesday and Friday. It depends upon what we have going on for the weekend. Also, how do you get lunch meat to last all week?

Usually big shopping Monday morning for the week with a stop possibly once towards the end of the week, but not always.
Do Costco shopping maybe once or twice a month depending on what we're doing or if we're entertaining. Maybe more in the summer bc we have people over a lot.

Once a week, one store. On Sunday. I may run out to CVS if we need something on the fly like cold meds, but its only once in a while.

Re: How often do you go grocery shopping? And how many stores?

Once a week, I work full time and commute into the city, so I don't have time to do more than once.
My pantry and freezer are stocked so that I only have to do a big shop once in a while.

Stew Leonards Farmingdale weekly or every other week for milk, eggs, meat, some produce.
North Shore Farms Whitestone every other week for fresh produce.
Trader Joe's Merrick once a month for frozen veggies / fruit.
Shop Rite Lake Success as needed for groceries
BJ's Farmingdale / Westbury as needed for household supplies.

I live in Queens and travel quite a bit for groceries.
Shopping in Queens sucks.

This. And about once every 2 months we hit Costco for a few bulk items like school snacks, paper towels, k-cups, and granola bars.

Re: How often do you go grocery shopping? And how many stores?

I probably go about 3 - 4 times a week.

I usually buy what ever I am making just before I go home.

I found that when ever I did one big shopping trip, I was back at the store because I forgot something.

Or by the time I would make something I didn't want to make it any more because it was sitting in the fridge.

I usually shop at stew leonards because I work in that shopping center or on my way home I will hit best market.

Re: How often do you go grocery shopping? And how many stores?

things have changed a lot in our house recently... so now we do a large trip for staples and non-perishables once every other week. we then fill in fresh items as needed.

Me too. have yet to find everything I like/want at one store so I do multiple for different things.

I tried to do one big shop a week but half of it would get tossed because schedules change around here so quickly. It's annoying sometimes but a lot less wasteful.
