How often you go to the supermarket for groceries?.Do you follow a list of items to buy or just go when there is a promotion/sale?.How often do you buy beyond your require list?.Do you have a budget?.

I go get groceries every weekend! I normally get some stuff to last us for a week! I try to just stick on my list all the time, sometimes if things that I need was in the offer or promotion I wll get it from there! I try to stick with my budger but sometimes I get too excited and I get more.

I usually go to the supermarket for groceries a day after payday... since that is the time when i actually have money to purchase grocery items... i don't really make a list because i buy mainly the same things... like food and drinks for my daughter... and some items that i need... when i have a few extra money... i buy pringles and picnic too... great treat for myself...

we only go for grocery once a month. we follow a strict list of what we really need and stay in a budget. if for instance, we dropped by the supermarket out of the blue after having the groceries done, then, we can randomly pick up what we really like! :)

Hi Joe, We do our shopping at the supermarket once a week and yes we do budget but always have enough to last for two weeks so there is plenty of food and never run out of food. Tamara

Me and my family does our groceries, at least once a month. i will list down the stuffs needed to be bought but sometimes we bought more than that. ;) If in the middle of the month, there are some foodstuffs has finished, i would asked my hubby to go on his own or if i have the time, we will go together. Normally i will buy things which i like, not according to the promotion/sale. Yes we do have a budget for the groceries but sometimes it went over the budget.

hi Harlina, Good to hear you've a budget so that you don't over spend but somehow sad that sometimes it exceeded your budget.Are you using credit card or cash?Maybe you've more control when using cash. Thank you for replying.Have a nice day :)
