I'm talking for groceries.. not to stop and pick up milk and bread. Like planned out meals (or not) I'll be back in a couple of hours grocery shopping. How often.. pick the choice that fits best.

I plan 2 weeks worth of supper menus and do my grocery shopping on the Friday that my dh gets paid. It has worked pretty well so far. I seem to spend less money this way.

I go once a week to buy what's on sale and fresh produce and milk. Doesn't take me too long in the store anymore unless I have lots of good coupons to pair with good sales.

Once a month to feed the freezer, pantry, and cleaning things.

Once a week for fresh veggies & fruit

If you don't count stopping to pick up a few things, I do one big trip a month to Aldi's. The best part it only costs me about $125!

I do a little bit of them all. First off my husband gets paid bi-weekly so anything that we MUST have is gotten then. Then I watch the weekly sale ads for any good sales and couponing opportunities. Finally, IF i do not have bread and milk in the freezer from my "sales" then I will go about every week for those type of basics.
