I voted 1-2. On an average week I make 1 trip to the grocery store and 1 to CVS (but 2 transactions ). Couple times a month I'll drive a little further and make a trip to BJ's & Target.

There's no "It varies" option.

Some weeks I go 6-8 times because the deals are stellar. Then there are weeks like not that I may not go at all.

I didn't vote. I don't know! I haven't been counting, and I am trying hard to cut it way down, si hopefully soon I'd be able to vote 1-2ce per week and be done with it.

Then again, when I am out and about, I'll sometimes stop in at one store to grab something, if it's on the way and if I have my coupon binder with me (which is usually on both points). But as far as GOING SHOPPING, I try to limit that to once a week. But then, I'll be hitting anywhere from 6-10 stores in that one trip- NOBODY wants to go with me on those trips cause it wears us all out and can take 6-8 hours!

I have too many stores available to me. I can't wait till we move out to the country, and it takes me 1/2 hour or so to get to town- then I'll HAVE to limit all the running around! <grin>

LOL- then everyone would've voted for that one- I was just curious "on average" how many trips everyone made. :)

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

I voted 5-6 as an average, but 90% of my shopping is done in one day.

If a deal is hot I will go every day if I have to max it out. If, not, like this week - I don't go at all. It's nice to have breaks =)

Some weeks at Kroger I too go twice a day...have two stores within

minutes of my house (Woohoo!) and I have been know to puchase mutiple transactions and go out and come back in. I find that the more I go the more I avail myself to mark downs, and I really like those prices. I tell myself in other countries they shop at the out door markets daily so its ok for me to go everyday too!
