We do it fortnightly as that is how often we are paid. I get long life milk and snacks for the second week, and leave a small budget buffer to get fresh fruit with in the second week. I can even get that out in cash so l dont accidentally spend it.

Sone things are weekly, like bread and fruit and veg. Others are monthly

I generally do a huge shop every month. Stocking the pantry and the freezer. Milk, bread, veggies and fruit are topped up,weekly. This has worked for me for years. It’s so hard to shop with small children, so why not thus way?

I buy my shopping on a weekly basis!

weekly most of the time but tops ups every now and then

We do a big shop weekly and then top up during the week of we need milk, bread or veggies.

I go weekly for 3 weeks and than week 4 try and use up fridge/freezer/pantry items, just stocking up on the fruit, veg, bread and milk.

I go shopping walking, so a weekly shopping wouldn’t be possible for me. I’ve got the supermarket super close to my home (3 minutes walking) so I go around 3 times a week.

we go weekly as that is when we are paid

We shop once a week but have to pop in for fresh items here and there!

I try to stay out of the shops as much as possible. This have saved me money because when I go shopping I always buy things that were not on my list. The less I am I the shops the better.

thanks for the replies x `

  Pleasure, hope the answers are helpful. x

I try and do a shop once a week. I find I don’t spend as much when I shop regularly and keep to a list.

  A list is a life saver and sticking to a list is essential!

I try to do a large order online and get it delivered every two weeks, and do a few small top up shops in between but i always impulse buy when im at the shops, so i try to only go when i really have to…

We do dry goods every six weeks or so (in bulk) and a couple of bread, milk etc top ups each week.

Monthly for bulk items, fortnightly for basics, weekly for some fruit & vegies, bread & milk.

We grocery shop every week
