^^ depends... if I am using car then a bunch, if using bus, then less...

Im a sucker for buying in bulk, I feel like Im saving money..but then sometimes I realize after that the smaller packs actually cost less per item for some things :smack:

I buy fruits and vegetables once a week, meat mostly once every 2-3 weeks. But I do buy some things in large quantities such as tomato sauce cans, frozen mixed veggies and juice cartons(Tropicana) from Costco. Also, I always buy cooking oil(biggest size available) because it saves me money.

^ Almost same. Like soaps and tomato paste cans etc.

The only thing I ever really buy in bulk is cases of cereal and water.

my dad shops at costco so we usually buy staple things in bulk, and then run to the grocery store for small stuff like cake frosting & fresh produce.

well i live wit my sis. and she buys her groceries monthly. dat way its easier for her to figure out her budget. + going to sam's club saves us so much money, we buy monthly supply at wholesale price. i think buying someting one at a time kinda gets u offf trck of your budget and ur spendings.

I make like 4-5 trips to the grocery store a week, we dnt have a car so its reallyhard to do grocery shopping when u rely on buses/trains
