I shop one regularly and follow the ads and cherry pick for two others. I also visit Costco once or twice a month as well. Not really sure where Costco sits in this question but I do get a lot of my groceries from there.

Typically only one. There are two in our nearby town, but I only go to the other one occasionally, to get one of about 3 items that VONS doesn't carry

Usually just one
BUT
On weeks that I need to stock up on meat I go to 2.

I do my normal shopping @ Aldi's but their meat selection isn't as vast as I would like it to be.

I also hit up other stores if they have muy excellente sales & I can totally spave.

Just one...I go to two different stores, but I only go to one of them per week. So one week I am at Store A and the next week...Store B. Sometimes I got to Store A three weeks in a row. Just depends on what is going on in my life. What's on the menu etc I shop at Costco/BJ's about once every 6 to 8 weeks. It really just depends though.

I said 2-3 - I usually go to Trader Joes, Costco and Vons and sometimes Target but not always just for food - some weeks I don't make it to all three just depends on what we need.

I said two to three, because I regularly visit two different grocery stores. I only go to Walmart once every two to three weeks, and I pick up random items like milk and bread as needed. I shop the other grocer when they have good sales, but that isn't very often, and that stinks. I would frequent their store a lot more if they had reasonable prices.

We only have Walmart and HEB here, very rarely do I go to both in the same week.
