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

Being a newbie- I'm just wondering on average how many trips do you make to a store in a week.

Example:
3 trips to CVS
1 trip to grocery store
1 trip to Rite Aid
1 trip to Target
6 trips total

Probably
2-3 Walmart
3 CVS
2 grocery stores (Kroger/Publix)
so, 7-8 total

I make an admittedly absurb number of shopping trips each week. If there's some decent CVS deals, I make between 10 and 20 trips at that store alone, considering it's three store locales and utilizing multiple accounts. It's a lot of hard work keeping the bucks rolling.

As far as which stores, it really depends on who's got what and for how much!! I think Target was ready to hire me during the Tuna thing!

But, I am close to Target, CVS, Food Lion and Lowe's Foods. So, I frequent these the most! Food Lion and Lowe's Foods are grocery)

when I voted I was only counting the grocery store. If we are counting all stores then I don't even want to admit how many times I go shopping
a week.

i voted 3-4, but that's only if there's some AWESOME deals going on at any particular store. i normally only go out twice a week tops because we live in the boonies so i have to drive at least 25 minutes to get to anything (closest anything is 6 miles away and that's just a shell stop-and-shop gas station). i try to plan my trips so that i don't burn a ton of gas every week!

It really depends on the week. I am 8 months pregnant and homeschooling 3 kids, so I only bother shopping if I really need something or the deals are good enough to make it worth waddling through the isles. Last week during the quaker sale and the post/milk deal I went to Albertsons 5 times. I also went to Safeway to get more ads with double coupons and went to Rite-aid to get rainchecks for B1G1 free diapers.

I have not been to any store yet this week (wed-tuesday), though I probably will go once as I need cheese and the Albertsons cracker/peanut/cheese deal is pretty good.

Definitely depends on the week.

It depends on the week. During a great sale I will go as many times as I can get out of the grasps of my 2yo. For a while I felt like I lived at Target.

During an average week I will make 2-3 trips to CVS, 3-4 Target, 2-3 to Meijer. I don't shop at Wal-Mart often, maybe 1 time a week or everyother week.

I use to go probably 6 - 10 times a week depending on sales.
Now that I have a pretty rounded stockpile I will hit the grocery stores maybe twice if the sale is good . and cvs/walgreens once or twice also depending on sales and limits.
