I go to the commissary and Dillon's every other week. I do the large 2 week shopping and as we run out of things, or there's a great sale at Dillon's, dh will go to the store. If we're in Wichita, Salina or Manhattan I'll go by Aldi for their ground turkey and Walgreen's if there is a good sale.

We go to Sams about once a month and then the grocery store about once a week.

Grocery store is mostly milk, fruits & veggies, and stuff for my husband's lunches that we buy a week at a time so it doesn't go bad.

I go to Walmart every Tuesday, and run to the store nearby for milk whenever we need it (dd can't drink it fast enough to make it worth buying it weekly.)

Me too. Lately though I haven't done Sam's for about 3 months and was okay. Now I really need to go soon to make the "big" trip.

I go to WalMart once a week and then I will go to the two main grocery stores (Publix & Kroger -- which I pass anyway on my way too or from work) for the goodies in their ads. I will stop by the Asian Market for produce and fish too. I try to make a grocery plan at the begining of the week and figure out what I am getting from where. Gives me something to do Sunday evening!!

We go once every 2 weeks and spend around $110. We also make a stop in the off week to pick up milk, bread, and bananas.

I go once a week to a week and a half to costco for stuff like Milk, yogurt, eggs, meat, some produce. I go to the actual grocery store whenever we run out of bananas (I don't like costco's bananas) so normally also every week to a week and a half. I buy almost all my produce at the grocery store and since it's fresh it doesn't last more than a week or so.

This is us exactly except we go to Costco. Oh and we get bread when we go to the grocery store. I usually spend about $350.00 at Costco, then about $40-$60 at HEB during the week because we go through about 2 gallons of milk ($10 for that, then we buy 3 loaves of bread which is about $12 since dh only likes a certain type that is expensive!) then fruits and anything else we might need but I try and just eat whatever we get at Costco. I need to really make a concrete monthly grocery budget and stick to it and we only have what we have at the end of the month so if it's beans and rice, then it's beans and rice! But that's easier said than done for me

No costco's or anything around here... I go to one grocery store every Tuesday and generally spend about $100 there. I wish I could cut it down, but I just can't. This doesn't include beef, since we get that from a friends farm.
