How many times a month do you go to the store to get groceries?

We usually go once a week. Sometimes more if we forget something or an item goes on sale.

I have 6 to shop for, so we hit the bulk stores for meats and basics like canned and paper goods once a month. We do bigger trips once a week to stock up on other staples and fresh fruit and vegetables. Then if needed we'll stop at the store to pick up anything we've missed.

When we go to the bulk stores and make our bigger trips, we do use two carts. We go shopping as a family so I try to make it fun for my kids. I have them look for certain items, help pick out and count fruits and veggies, and find things that I have coupons for.

Honestly, almost every day. I pick up the staples once a week or so, but I buy fresh produce and meats everyday. (Of course, it helps that I have a market within walking distance from my home, and I have the time!)

I usually go every 2 weeks and get everything we need. Of course I have to stop every so often in between to pick up what I forgot.

I try to only go once or twice a week, but it never turns out that way. I never know what I want from one day to the next, so I end up going back often. So annoying.

I try to make it only once a week, but I always forget something and have to go back. So I guess that makes it about 8 times a month.

I personally rarely go to the grocery store. I hate shopping, so my wife does it all.

My husband gets paid everyother week so we try to go everyother week. But, you know what, it never fails..I always make a list and keep it out so everyone can write what they need if it is something special. But, There is always at least one item that we forget and have to go back. GRRRRR.

Usually twice. Sometimes more if I need more milk or something but actual grocery shopping I either do in one big trips or two smaller ones.

I do the same as Weasel Sponge. There's a market 5 minute's walk from here, so I usually buy food for dinner daily. I've started doing almost all my grocery shopping there, because, I want them to stay in business. I like the convenience of being able to get through the whole store in a few minutes.

That would drive me nuts, well, I would have to drag a baby along, so that is probably why. Thanks for the comment.

I go once a week for the groceries. But sometimes I wil get some fresh vegetables, so then it is 2 or 3 times a week, but just for the vegetables.

We usually do major shopping every 2 weeks. I usually end up going back for things that I have forgotten a few times in between. So I probably end up at the grocery store 6 times in a month.
