How often do you buy groceries?
What types of things do you consider “essential”?
Do you make a list when you go shopping, or just have an idea of what you need?
Do you do one big trip all at once, or do you pick up just enough to make what you’re eating that night/the next day?
My wife comes up with a menu for the week and buys everything needed to make it.
Once a month, we go to Sam’s club and buy bulk meat which gets portioned and frozen, and other bulk non perishables like coffee, rice, pasta etc.
The weekly trips are about $200-$300 and the monthly trip is about the same.
We have five kids between us.
