Hello there! Shopping is one of my activities at the weekend. I go shopping twice a month to buy some monthly need. I have some list before I go shopping to make me focus and do not waste my money. I know sometime if we meet something interesting then we start to buy it at that time. It's very common that the more we go shopping the more we spend our money. How many times do you go shopping in a month friends?

Like you we also go out to grocery shop every weekend. So basically we go 4-5 times a month.Sometimes I make a list and sometimes I don't. I buy other things like clothes or anything only when there is a sale. If it is a good price we buy it and if not I will just hold it off not unless we really need it like buying shoes for kids.

I see, kids is grows gradually so that we need to buy them new stuff and so on. I think that's pretty good idea to buy something when there's sale. :D

If you are talking about grocery shopping, then I think I go there usually twice every month. But if you are talking about buying clothes and things like that for myself, I have cut it down to at most once a month and some months, I just survive without buying anything for myself *smiles*.

when ever i go to a place like wal-mart to get some kind of food stuff, which is almost every day i wind up buying a shirt, fishing equipment, dog stuff, cant come home without something for max a toy or treat. they get me all the time i always walk out with something besides what i went for. but if you mean how often do i go clothes or mall shopping probably 2-3 times a month, lets say 2, i started buying better dress shirts ,one's that dont shrink or wear out in 4 months, aka wal-mart. now i can go car shopping every day, just "looking" at all the new ones, and take a test drive or 2.

i usually go shopping twice a month. it also depends on how much money i can spend for shopping, i do like shopping but i have limitation as i dont want to spend more money on things like clothes. i rather save most of money money that spending it on going shopping. happy mylotting.

Me and my mom usually hit up the local walmart about twice a month and usually seem to get laot of stuff there and not just even groceries. Then we have a couple of local grocery stores that give out flyers every wednesday that have some buy one get one free deals so we try to grap on those too. Its imporatant to save to be able to do other things as well.

I go shopping a lot more than I should. I go shopping probably once or twice a week mostly on the weekends. Shopping on the weekends for us is more of a boredom killer activity. We do it when we're bored and have nothing better to do, so we go out on Friday night or Saturday afternoon to walk around just to get out of the house. Sometimes we come home with stuff, sometimes we don't. Usually however we come home with stuff but I'm trying to curb that habit. I'm trying to save money instead of spending it.

Hello! I hate to say it but I go shop once or twice a week. I usually go shopping in my free time with friends, my husband or my niece. I never bring list with me what to buy, I just go there and buy something what I like. If not shopping in the mall, I do shop online

I shop every week for groceries. I don't have a budget or anything. I just shop whenever I need something. If I need window wipers for my car, I go get window wipers for my car. I'm not so strapped for cash that I need to count every nickle and dime.

We go shopping 2 times a month for our household needs. I make a montly menu and try to buy everything needed for that in the two times we go. We do however have times where we have to run out and get things that got over looked on the list, or something that we just totally forgot that was on the list.

I barely go shopping honestly. If it is not my girlfriend, I would never go out there to shop. I meant not the grocery. Going to the mall is the most hideous thing. I can't stand going in there for 30 minutes. Everything is in the rip - off price, and they are not that special on the outlook. I shouldn't go shop in there and waste more money.

There is no any such predefined number of times for my shopping. If we plan like this, this will lead to the unnecessary expenses. So i will go for shopping, when there is a need for that.I will not buy anything, if it is a necessary one, even if it is a very newer and cheaper one.We should not buy the things as they are available as many are loosing their money in this type of purchases only. I am fully aware of that and hence I not loosing any money.

I wish I didn't have to go grocery shopping, but it seems like I am at the grocery store almost every day on my way home from work grabbing things we ran out of, etc. I try to do one big trip a week, but there is always something needed! As far as clothes and things go, I don't go often enough, because I never have time. I would say I do that once every few months or so.
