do you food shop monthly or weekly?

i ALWAYS tell myself i'm just going to shop for the week, but i always end up shopping for the month (of course with a few trips to the store for things i forgot). now about the saving money part... when you buy in bigger quantities you save more. i buy big packs of meat and seperate it into freezer bags to last all month.

I go food shopping once a month. I don't drive so I must rely on a taxi, and those suckers can get outright expensive. They cost $8 to $10 a round trip to the store!

The nice thing though is that the taxi driver carries all my crap up the nine foot stair case preventing me a nice and nasty asthma attack. (I'm allergic to asthma medication and they give me a migraine that can last a week...that I can't medicate!)

I go food shopping monthly and buy groceries in bulk
because it is cheaper that way. I use to go grocery
shopping weekly but I found out I was spending more.

i bounce back and forth from buying 2 carts full and then running to the store each night. I noticed when i dont buy groceries in bulk when i don't have something i need my family eats out a lot..which is a lot more costly

I currently do my shopping weekly as hubby gets paid weekly. It does seem a bit more expensive to do it this way, but I did learn to buy bulk on the things we use regularly. It can sometimes be a balancing act but if you can spread out your bulk purchases, it can sometimes make the tight budget go just a little further.:)

We shop weekly. I go through the ads and find the best bargains. I then plan our menus around what is on sale and what we already have in the house. Then I write my grocery list and hit the store.

For me it is about the time that you spend when you do shopping. If you do it monthly it save you time than if you do weekly. But of course if you do monthly, few things probably need to be refill before the next month shopping come.:)

I do food shop weekly, coz in weekend I get free time to do things for myself, I buy food stuff for one week every time, so every day I have my food stuff to eat... Usually I buy apple, yoghurt, sunflower seeds, pudding, and some other snacks from supermarket, I like snacks very much, haha...

A lot of this depends on the amount of space you have to store things. If you have a deep freezer, then it is more cost efficient to buy meats when they are on sale and stock up, then you can go a month with out buying more. I tend to buy basic things monthly, like meats, canned goods, etc. I am back to the store once or twice a week for other things like milk, bread, fresh veggies. I have two growing boys and they will eat every snack thing in the house no matter how much I have of it, so those things I also buy weekly.

I guess, in my case, it's a little bit of both.

I food shop ever 2 weeks for my Can goods, toiletries and I used to bought vegatables every week and it is the same priced but I saved my time, effort and gasoline......
