We only purchase meat every 2-4 weeks since we have a deep freezer and we like buying in bulk since it's cheaper. We pretty much freeze all the meat we buy unless I know I want to cook it that day or the next.

I freeze it if we aren't going to use it for 3 or 4 days. I just meal plan for the week, buy what I need at the beginning of the week, and freeze what I plan to make at the end of the week.

I like to buy the boneless skinless chicken breast when it's on sale. Since it's just two of us, I often freeze it because we can't eat it all. I use these Ziploc Perfect Portion freezer bags to wrap each piece on its own:

Then I place them all in a larger Ziploc freezer bag with the date written in it to be frozen.

This way, I can remove just what we need when we need it!

If I'm not going to use it in the next couple days i freeze it. I shop for the week and I also buy multiple packages of something if it's on sale.

I'm all about managers specials on the organic items. So I stock up and freeze all the time. Most times I'll thaw and it will go to the grill or in a soup

I shop on Sunday for the week and cook meat Mon-Thurs.
I keep it in the fridge. If I don't cook something that week then I stick it in the freezer.

I usually shop Sunday or Monday. If I don't use meats by wed or thurs I stick in the freezer. Or sometimes I buy meat on sale and stick it in the freezer.

We always freeze meat when we buy it. Generally we portion it out for meals then freeze. We have a deep freeze (which currently my freezer stash is taking up), an upright freezer and two fridge freezers to store frozen things in.
We stop at the store if we want meat that's not frozen for dinner (ie we didn't pull any the night before or need a faster meal). We shop for groceries at least 2 or 3 times a week. It seems we always need something.

We always freeze our meats, unless we're going to use them in the next day or so. I just try to plan our week slightly in advance - hamburg and steak will last us two meals, while chicken usually only lasts one. So if we're having hamburgers on Monday, I'll pull out steak or chicken from the freezer that day to be ready for Wednesday. Leftover hamburg is used in pasta sauce for Tuesday. Wednesday we'll have whatever I thawed and I'll pull out another meat for Friday.

We freeze half and then eat fresh the first few days!

If something is a really good deal but isn't on the menu for the week, I sometimes buy and freeze. Or my one store ALWAYS has their ground meat with a one-day sell-by date so I will freeze it, or even pre-cook it and freeze it (my favorite for ground beef).

We freeze meat all the time. It is a great way to take advantage of sales or buy in bulk at our Farmer's Market or Costco. I just put in in individual meal portions in freezer bags and, when I'm ready to use it, throw it in the fridge in the morning to thaw.

I freeze 90% of the meat we buy. It's super convenient and it doesn't change the taste/quality. We mostly eat and freeze: bacon, pork loin, all types of chicken, ground turkey, and ground beef. This way I can take advantage of what's on sale or what's available at the farmers market that week. All of our ground beef and chicken is organic bought. I'd by the bacon and pork loin organic but have a hard time finding any organic options.

I freeze them unless I know they're going to be consumed within the next 2 days. I leave them out in the fridge to defrost for at least 24 hours - sometimes more if they've been sitting in our deep freezer. This way I can buy the big bag of chicken breasts or frozen oxtail and use as necessary.

For beef (to be used in stews) I usually soak them in water overnight to clean out the blood so I kill 2 birds with 1 stone by tossing the frozen oxtail/brisket/etc in water overnight.

@Adira: YES! I like to think of Fridays as my day off from cooking!
