Just curious... how many trips do you make to stores in a week?

[karenann33]

Definately depends on the week. Sometimes I'm at the stores daily and some weeks I just skip it even if there are deals. I've been at this since Jan so I'm starting to chill on some deals cause I know they will be back. LOL!!

Normally I make 5-6 trips a week. We have 3 local grocery stores, and then walmart, target, and of course CVS and walgreens. If there is a great sale and I don't feel right totally stocking up everything at once, I will go multiple times(especially at CVS where I have 4 stores within a 10 miles radius).

average around 50 trips to stores (counted as drivnig into the parking lots) per week.

Transactions average around 200, some weeks, like last week, it was closer to 600

you make 50 trips to the store a week? or did i read that wrong?

Wow!!! Maybe that's why my stockpile needs work!

On average....

Kroger/Albies/Tom Thumb: 2-3 times per week... each
CVS: Can be upwards of 10 or more depending on the week
WAG: Can be upwards of 10 or more depending on the week

That's about my average. I average 7-8 stores per day (a few in the AM, the rest at night), pretty much every day/night. Once in a while I'll take a night off, but not often. Some nights I hit many more than that.

I count the trips to the store as driving in to their parking lots. So, like last night I hit 4 Stop&Shops, 2 Shaw's, 3 A&Ps, 2 ShopRites, 2 Walgreens, and 5 CVS. Total OOP spent was about a buck cash, and maybe $20 of gift cards. Total value of the stuff I picked up was well over two grand.

Highlights include the following -

Campbell's gravy - ~400 cans
Reynolds crock pot liners ~50 boxes
ziploc bags ~ 60 boxes
ziploc containers ~ 60 pkgs
Pillsbury pizza dough/bread etc. ~60 pkgs
Hunts tomato sauce ~ 90 cans
Krusteaz pancake mix ~ 48 boxes
Hungry jack pancake mix ~ 220 boxes
Prego pasta sauce ~ 60 jars
Glucose meters - only 2
Toothpaste - 40 boxes
Lots of overage on produce/dairy/bakery/meat/deli etc.
Lots of peeles/rainchecks/Turkey points for future deals
Fliers for next week
Multiple gift cards

Having 24 hour stores, and unlimited triples, really helps. As does a good sense of how the machines work, so I can avoid having problems/arguments with cashiers really saves a lot of time.

I came home at 2, unloaded an put away the perishables, cleaned the bathroom, mopped the floor, and got my 3 hours sleep.

Unlimited TRIPLES!...that's it, I am moving to Conneticut! No wonder my stockpile is puny. What ever do you do with all that stuff?

[jessalee3]

1-3 trips to CVS
1 trip a week at two grocery stores to match coupons to their sales.

[orderlymom77]

For me it varies widely depending on weather and how I am feeling. I have went around in circles literally when there was a good deal and went to each 5x in one day, CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreen. Plus trips other days so that week with grocery store probably 30-40. I also send my hubby out with coupons and a list and instructions a lot when I'm in a lot of pain (chronic severe spine problems does that count?
