How do you know when it's time for grocery shopping?

When I can’t picture what I’m having for lunch the next day, I order groceries that night.

i like to see how far we can go without buying any we bought groceries at the beginning of october and they lasted almost whole month. we went grocery shopping on monday, we'll see how long it lasts but there are some things that we buy more often - like milk, heavy cream, fruits and stuff

I like to go shopping for fresh food once a week. I know that I need to go because I buy exactly what covers one week.

I just go every other week

I try to shop for essentials once a week and do a bigger shopping every 2 weeks or so

I raised a houseful of kids, so I still have some of my shopping habits from that time. I go once a month for everything that doesn't spoil, etc. and pantry items. I keep a running list, when I know things are going to need replenished that are things I cook with constantly, they go on the list. I shop sales. I go once a week for fresh produce and milk and anything on sale I think we will be needed, meats, etc. It's a proven fact that the more often a person goes, the more they spend....and I honestly don't like to go to the store constantly. It's just easier plan on the once per month and once per week thing for me.

When I am low on essentials like fruit, vegetables, milk and bread.

With my budget, I can shop for groceries online only once a month when my SS arrives. Then I just have to manage until the following month, Right now I have more of seasoned fries and tater tots in my fridge than anything else but I will manage till Nov 9

We always need to have milk in the fridge.

What is summer sausage? We usually go shopping once a week if we are able. But our fridge is never full, unless our mothers give us a lot of stuff.

I put in an online order at Walmart every week. I tend to get the same basics each time. My food budget tends to run about $35-50 per week. Have a good weekend.

For me, there is always a need to replace something. I keep a list and when something runs out I of course put it on the list. Then I know where the best price happens to be on the items on my list. So, where I go depends on what I need more of at a particular store. Generally, I go to the store once a week, but it's usually a different store when I go depending on what needs to be replaced at the best price.

if I am out and am running low then if the person driving me will take me then I will go if I am not going out, then I will order groceries when I am hungry. I am going grocery shopping this weekend with my sister but am not sure what I am cooking. Just know onion rings. i have to make a list of what groceries to get at Walmart Have a super beginning of the weekend

like you but, mostly, when i don't have any tost or bread.

We do a regular shop about every 4 to six weeks, topping up some of the longer life items or anything that's run out. We can get odd bits like bread and milk from a small shop across the road. Outside of that, we know we need to do grocery shopping if we run out if beans or cat food

maybe every day because there's always something that runs out.

In my case it depends when an item is low on quantity. I do not order all at one go.

My Dad loved Cream of Wheat cereal. I think it soothed his stomach plus we had cream from the cow to help. Today I went food shopping. We were out of bread and protein stuff and vegies.

I go weekly to the grocery store. I usually go on Sundays, I was almost running out of blueberries so I got those this Sunday. I also got more cat food. I also had ran out of bananas and little peppers. I also got another salad.

I have essentials like fruits, vegetables etc which would last for approximately 2 weeks. I would buy those every 2 weeks. Rest of the items is mostly monthly combined with these or as and when needed. In case there are good offers and discounts, there are few purchases made. However , it is all planned usually for me. Unplanned purchases are rare and happens in case we have some occassion or guests. So , in a way I am aware of what is needed and what gets over. In this way, I have a better utilization and consumption rate for all the items purchased. Had failures in case of sudden travels and all of these would topsy-turvy. Good to know your style of grocery shopping. Have a nice weekend!
