We only do two big shopping trips a month, so I try and get everything we need then. Of course we end up having to go a time or two in between to pick up things like milk, cheese or produce. We freeze a lot of things so they don't go bad in the first week.

@Bao: twice a month? I'm impressed!

Depends on what day the meal is for I get groceries on Saturday and meal plan through Fri lunch. So, 6 days max.

I shop weekly. I usually have the basics on hand.

Usually the day of. Fresh produce doesn't last that long, and most of our meals need fresh produce so we hit the market a few times a week. No big!

I usually do grocery shopping once a week and plan to cook the perishable stuff first.

I used to be at the grocery store every other day, but that was when I was staying at home and could walk there.

We keep the fridge and pantry stocked, and buy weekly per our meal plan. Meat, though, is always bought fresh from the market up the street on the day we plan to cook it.

I grocery shop once a month and meal plan monthly. It was an experiment at first and we've grown to LOVE it. We have 2 refrigerators and a 20 cubic foot chest freezer (I'd love to get another chest freezer as well once we start raising pigs...). All of our meat is either homegrown or purchased in bulk so I always have nearly every cut of meat in the house. We start the month with a lot of "fresh" meals- Tacos, salads, BLTs. As the month goes on we move more into "storage" meals- Chili, Soup, Mashed potatoes and Roasts. We eat fresh fruit in the beginning of the month and canned/frozen towards the end. In the summer we have a huge garden and I barely grocery shop. In the winter I buy a little more from the store, but we rely heavily on our canned foods and freezer. Also I purchase all my staples in bulk from a restaurant supply store- flour, bread flour (I make all of our bread products at home), sugar, spices, etc. We store all of this in 5 gallon food safe pails to keep it safe from bugs!

I shop weekly, meal plan on Sunday, get all the ingredients, and produce/milk/ect. for the week.
