I voted 7-8 trips in a week, however, not all weeks I go that often, but then I'll have days like today and yesterday where I've been 10 times alone to finish out the sales and get rainchecks for me and the foodbank.

I try to only make two or three trips a week, but it depends on the sales. Like on Tuesdays, which are days I don't have anything official to do, I try to run most of my errands. Today I went to Kmart for 50 cent tubes of toothpaste, Target for a free Glade Plug in oil warmer with 50 cents of overage, and to Albertsons to pick up some more of their sale items. Probably on Friday I'll make my grocery store rounds is there are any good sales.

Right now... I can't get it down to a number but I go to at least one store a day, if not two... if only to look around. I'm still somewhat new to couponing, so I'm still making mistakes. Somethings I'm not sure what is a bargain and what isn't. Not sure when to buy loads of something and when to just buy it b/c I need it now. I'm used to just buying most things as I need thing so, I haven't a clue! I'm patiently waiting for Feb when Adopt-a-Newbie starts back up. I need guidance.... lol. Hell just today, I was shopping too fast and paid probably more than I should have for deodorant... my math was a little sketchy (trying to add and subtract in my head really quick), and thought I'd be paying 0.50 OOP per stick after coupon, but it was 1.50 OOP per stick... and I got too much pride to return 4 sticks of deodorant. Oh vey!

I work full-time, so I go to Kroger and Walgreens every week and then to Target at least once a month. But I think I'll start hitting the stores during my lunch break if necessary. LOL We have a fridge at work, so why not?

I used to have a fridge/freezer combo (full-sized) in my office at work so I could get samples in for my job. But the freezer always had space. I would up storing veggies there once from a GM deal. And then when I got a ton of free turkeys one year, I stored them in one of the school freezers at work cause I had no where else to put them! Needless to say, I bought another freezer for home!

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

It all depends, sometimes I'm @ my favourite grocery store 2 time a day (once in the morning after Curves to check out meat specials and then in the evening to check out bargain deals (but only if I'm going somewhere close by)

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

We live pretty far from anything, so I try to limit myself to once a week. Now that I have found this site and am learning how to save more money, I maybe going more.
