I try to do all my errands on the same day. So I usually go once a week sometimes twice a week. How many times a week do you run errands, such as going to the post office, shopping, picking up perscriptions, etc.?

I have five kids so running errands numerous times within the week is normal. They require a lot so there's a lot of shopping, getting supplies for school and laundry detergent. The post office is another place that is visited often. Sometimes the errands can drain my energy.

I seem to be doing errands most days, which is a a pain. I woud rather be like you, organised and do most errands at once. however, the reality is that I work fulltime, and errands often have to be done in my limited lunch hour. A few errands I can do after work, but as most places close, I am limited. The type of errands I have often have are paying bills, buying urgent food, chemist prescriptions, booking the plumber,etc.

I feel like I run errands every day. I am actually quite tired of it. I do a lot of couponing and to get the good deals, I have to go to many different stores. I go to one store a day. I really don't like shopping that much, though. I have to figure out a better way.

I tend to just run them whenever I have a spare moment to kill and of course, when I remember to actually run those errands! Ha ha! I don't do it on a specific day, although Sundays are when I usually get around to depositing stuff at the bank, getting groceries, going shopping, etc - just because I for sure ALWAYS have sundays off of work!

I don't really have many errands per week, but do try to organize my stops. The gasoline is quit high here so I try to map out my trips so I am not wasting too much gas. Though there are times it can't be helped and I tend to go on more trips then I like. I can say about 1 - 3 times per week that I run errands as a routine.

I also do errands on a fixed day. I do my cleaning errands every other day. I do shopping once a week. It is good when you work on a schedule so that you can make sure everything work on track.

I would like to go once a week. It does not always happen, although I do not have as many errands as you do. If I go to the gym I try to think if I need to run any errands in that part of town, and I do them then. I do try to group the things I have to do.

Hello Dear Ladym! Since I live on a Stud Farm which is situated some 14 Kilometers away from township and I am looking after the farm in the capacity of senior Vet, it becomes very difficult for me to do my errands frequently! Since now I am staying on the farm along with my wife and my son has grown up, it is we who ave to run for errands! But sometimes I take the help of other people who are going to market to fetch some things for them and they are courteous and kind enough to do some errands for us! Otherwise once in a fortnight we go for errands just to have a change and once in a month we definitely go for shopping to the nearest city which is situated about 45 kilometers from our place. During this time if time permits we watch a movie in multiplex and have our lunch/dinner out side only! Generally we see to it that this is planned in such a way that our son should have his weekends at this time so that all we three can have some good time! Thanks !

I usually tend to do my errands all in the same day. However, sometimes, I forget something, or something like that, and I end up doing them in a period of two days or more, or something to that effect.

I am the elder boy in my family. So I have to do main things in my family. We just dont have so many errands. When usaually comes I will do it. However I usually go for all days. As my town is very near. So I dont feel hesitate to do that.
