How often do you grocery shop?

How often do you go to the store to buy food and essentials?
I am trying to figure out how people in general shop for groceries. I go once a month for the big stuff and once a week for milk, cheese and such. This will help me in writing my cook book. I am making weekly meal plans but wanted to know if it should be monthly instead.

Almost every day. I like to choose each day's dinner in the moment, and prefer not to freeze meat. I will keep a few days' options as back-up in case I get busy and can't get to the store or just don't feel like it, but usually I shop for dinner an hour or two before I start cooking. -
Oh, every week or so. I then choose what I want from my food stash based on how I feel that evening. -
I'm like you. We just got a deep freeze, so I'll be able to stock up a bit when things are on sale. (We live in an area where I can buy my beef from the farm. But to do that, I have to buy half the cow.)
I go once a month for canned goods and foods I can freeze. But perishables are a weekly purchase.
(I also garden and freeze my surplus produce for use during the winter.)-
I have two deep freezers and thinking about getting another one. I put up food and buy things on sale. I went this morning and got loaf bread $0.50 a loaf so I bought a cart full and froze it. Between them eating sandwiches and the animals it wont got to waste. I buy my meat at a local meat market right now since I havent processed any of mine yet.

Once a week, sometimes twice if I run out of milk. -
I usually buy enough for a few days. So id say once or twice a week. When I was buying my groceries anyways -
Once a month for cupboard stuff, once every 2 weeks for meat and fish, once a week for fruit and veggies. -
Main shopping once a week. One or two item stop once a week. -
When I catch the kids licking each others' arms. -
i usually go once a week for the essentials, stopping on the way home during the week if there's something special I want to make. I try to always have some frozen meats for whatever so I can generally get back on the once a week. until i'm craving an artichoke or fresh salsa and then off to Giant Eagle I go!-
Is Giant Eagle a store or one of your POAs?
-
LMAO giant eagle is the chain of grocery stores in my area hahahahahaha!

I almost never go. My husband likes to grocery shop....how lucky am I?
He goes about once a week.-
I prefer to go. My wife likes lists. I like surprises.

Most any day. I get bottled water from a nearby shop which is open till 11pm; tap water tastes pretty bad (even if it tasted good, I try to avoid sodium fluoride and chlorine). I also get fresh fruit and veggies every other day.-
Wait...you're a REAL rabbit?

That comes from going down the rabbit hole

At random times throughout the week depending on what I run out of. When it comes to buying lunch foods/snacks for my kids, I do that at the end of the week on Sundays so they won't sneak them all ahead of time! -
I end up at the grocery store several times a week. I think I subconsciously enjoy dealing with the old perves there (that and I can never make my mind up as to what to have for dinner). -
Every two weeks for me, except for extra bread, milk and maybe some treats here and there. -
Every week.

I like stuff fresh, and not sitting in the fridge very long. So I go as I need stuff. So on most weeks at least 2 or 3 times a week. -
Each week: one big trip and one little trip to get all the stuff I forgot to get on the big trip.
