How often do you buy groceries in a month?

In our case, we buy at least twice a month. We don’t like doing it every week because we want our two sundays for rest. That will save time, money and effort.
Though there are items that we need to buy every week like fresh fish and vegetables, which we normally buy from a wet market.
Do you have the same schedule for buying your groceries?

We do a weekly grocery. We do have to buy it on a weekly basis to be sure that we have the money for the next week. If we buy on ever half the month there are expenses that come in during those times and cash may be short if we spend it all on twice a week grocery. Weekly grocery can be tiring but then it allows you to get the most from the cash you have on hand.

Oh I go often..I would say a few times a week. I go to different areas over the course of a week, and like to buy things that are cheaper or different in different areas.

@Janet357 no, we ride on a public transport, in a tricycle. it is more gasoline-saving; besides, parking in church area is difficult to do

@Janet357 Not really, I prefer to buy in bulk at the end of the month. But like I said, I buy some little things in between if needed. Do I make sense?

I try to shop once a week... But it all depends on how much stuff I get each time I go to the store, and if I know what I want to make to eat...
