We shop for groceries generally once a month. We make a big trip to Wal-Mart that takes WAY too long, but it's tolerable because I don't have to do it that often. We usually make a whole day of it and go out to lunch, walk around a few stores, hit WM, maybe pick up some frozen custard and come home.
Once every 3-4 months we'll go to Sam's where I'll get frozen chicken breasts and a few odds and ends (hot cocoa, frozen fruit, dried spices/seasonings, etc)
How often do you shop for groceries?

We shop about every two weeks. Weare a family of 6. We also go to the Wal-Mart Superstore. WE used to have a Sam's Club membership but never renewed it.

I am not too regular about shopping. If I am diligent then I plan menus for the next week on a Saturday and then buy whatever we need. I usually plan 3 meals a week; that allows for leftovers, eating out, or if we decide we just want a sandwich.
I try not to shop on Sundays, it seems everyone else has the same idea and the store is crazy busy.

I shop every pay day, so that's twice a month. I usually shop for what we need for 15 days. My shopping list always includes milk for my baby, diapers, bar soap for the clothes, bath soap, dishwashing liquid, shampoo and conditioner, canned goods, noodles, meat, water, juice, biscuits, junk foods and other toiletries. I always make it a habit to make a list first before going to the supermarket so that I will not forget anything.

I'm a huge list maker too (for everything, not just groceries). When I run out of something it immediately goes on the list or else I'll forget. By the time it's time to get groceries, I don't have to sit down and wrack my brain trying to remember everything that we need.
