How often do you go grocery shopping?

Question

PrettyPriya · Accepted Answer

Once a week. We both go together on the weekend. Friday nights, we plan out our "menu" for the week and then make a list for the market. Sometimes, depending on what we are going to have to eat the next week, we have to make a few stops.

There are some speciality stores that I like to get certain items that you can't find or are not as good at the larger market chains. We combine those trips with all the other errands we run on the weekend.

Usually can get all errands, including groceries, and chores done in one day and then have Sunday to relax or wait for your next question.

We are also pretty quick at the store when we do get groceries. No need to bother other patrons or employees with getting things off the middle shelf or anything like that. Nope, just grab and go.

I cannot imagine if I were short and needed help getting all my items. What a pain that would be. I think that is where we @emiliamazing were going with the slingshot idea for those that are altitude deficient. Just fling yourself up to the middle shelf.

As a household, probably a few times a week. With the amount of bodies in our house, we just can't fit enough food in the refrigerator, for an entire week. So we do several small trips. Drygoods is much easier, but keeping some fresh food around requires multiple trips

My wife and I live in a rural area and town is almost a half an hour away. But my wife is in town on most days and often stops for a few groceries when she is there.

She also does a run to Costco and Trader Joes about once a month and comes home with a car full.

I'll do some grocery shopping when I'm out and about. But, aside from her monthly run, were don't buy grocery carts full of stuff. We just replenish what we need.

usually every other day. I get my groceries delivered by Walmart sometimes because I'm usually working 5-6 days a week and I don't have time to go to the actual store because I work up into the evenings past 11

Midgetmcwidget · Answer

Depends on the shop, I go to Waitrose for meat and veg, Sainsbury’s for drink and marks and Spencer’s for cooking ingredients and frozen.

Only Waitrose offers organic, don’t use Abel and Cole as much as our guy who shoots deer is easier.

DeeDeeDeVour · Answer

For the household, every week:

1. a single bulk shopping in Costco

2. a visit to the grocery store or supermarket the other 3 weeks

For my businesses, lots of online orders and 1 bulk shopping in Costco throughout each month.

melanieeeB · Answer

Depends... if I'm already sure of what to cook for the week, I go once in a week and get everything at once but lately I'm really struggling with what to cook, so I go every 2-3 days

I don’t go grocery shopping anymore, since the Covid malarkey I started to order online, and it gets delivered to my home. It save all the hassle, and saves me having to drive, there and back, plus it saves on fuel too.

About once a week. Walmart is super close, and I use Walmart pickup so that I don't have to go in. It's super fact, plus they pickup nonfood items as well.

One huge Costco haul at the beginning of the month with weekly to biweekly top ups (usually milk) roommate drinks an obscene amount of the stuff. And other small produce items.

Weekly with an occasional extra trip for fresh foods to make a special meal.  I tend to alternate between Costco and the regional grocery store. I need to make a trip south for a TJ’s fix.

Down the road - daily, for the little things. I want my stuff fresh, and I like the (three) people there. Every two weeks or so for anything that's not available locally.
