| Mostly I try very hard to do a 'large' shop every fortnight. I do have to buy fresh products in between though, like milk, mushrooms etc.
I find if I pop in for one item it usually turns into a few unnecessary extras (as in treats!).

| I clicked weekly,,we buy pop and bread maybe as we run out,but my brother is planning on moving out,,so I think I can shop once a month.(When I buy groceries my brother will try to cook dinners etc.which is helpful,but he will use food I plan on other meals,,like both packs of hamburger for one meal when I planned it out for 2 meals)I appreciate his help but sometimes it throws me off schedule of meal planning.
After monthly shopping we'd still shop for eggs bread, milk etc inbetween though. |

| I do a "main" shopping twice a month, cuz hubby gets paid bi-weekly.
Always running out for milk, bananas, sliced american deli cheese, and sometimes bread.
After 25 years of marriage, I still can't always get my "act" together.  The cupboard is truly bare at the end of every two week period.

| Once a month as it really saves on gas and then half-way through the month we buy milk and produce. Next month the farmer's market in town opens back up and then we can buy very nice produce weekly.

| | My goal is to get to twice a month and then once a month but also stopping in weekly for milk etc.I know I hate to shop on the first of the month,,always so so busy.I need to find out if Sav-alot has specials in the middle of the month more so than the beginning. |

| | We used to go every two months but we ate out too much. Now that we eat at home a lot more (better for you, less money, better food) we go every two weeks... um I mean every fortnight! |

| I try to shop only once a month, but it ends up being about once every 3 weeks or so.
