Euro here, I go daily but only because I'm an alcoholic, not safe to buy a """week's worth""" of alcohol since I'll just go on a bender. Sometimes I go twice if I drink all that I've bought before stores close but I usually go to different places. I like to think buying small amounts of food every day makes me look like less of a degenerate but I think all the cashiers are onto me by now. Thank you for reading my blog.

I have a new yorker friend and he went off about how he went to the store daily and he didn't understand my weekly grocery runs. what the hell doesn't last a week though? I don't understand going to the store every single day. that's just a big waste of time. if I buy a whole chicken I will get a couple of days of meals out of it what do I need to go to the store on the second day for? the only ingredients I have to buy fairly often are proteins, greens, and shallots. everything else keeps fine for weeks.

If I lived somewhere that I walked literally past a store? A city block? I might pick up fresh bread or dessert, some fresh fruit, or a quick prep dinner, maybe. I don't go past a grocery on the way home from work, however.

It's a pretty deliberate detour from my very suburban home (on the bay) to veer instead towards shopping centers vs over a bridge and an pretty solid 15mins to my home. It's inconvenient to spend a to/from round trip of 45 minutes of my life each day for just shopping. So, I don't. With covid risks, I am trying not to shop more than once weekly. There's a risk each time you go, why increase it? With that said, I try to alternate stores each trip. Costco, then Publix, then Aldi, maybe an occasional Target or Wal-Mart thrown in there ever few weeks, for some things they only carry. For a long time, I was restricting myself to Publix for just being the cleanest around.

The only similarity between the Israelites/Judeans and modern day Jews is that they both use the word jew. The faith of the Israelites died after the destruction of the second temple. Judaism today is a perversion of the faith of the peoples on the OT, they only use the OT for ceremonial purposes. The real religious text of modern judaism is the Talmud based on the oral law of the Pharisee which were constantly rebuked by Jesus because of their heretical practices.

Honestly whenever I can, which is usually about once a week.
I can hit 4 convenience stores a day, but the prices are 2-3x of a grocery. $3 for a can of soup, $6 for a case of water is ridiculous.
In my usual territory, there are about half a dozen grocery stores I can get to with some ease in a 75 foot long vehicle, but my work schedule vs their store hours can make it a challenge.
Different regions and communities have drastically different prices on identical items, even at the same family of stores, plus there are different products availablr in different regions.

Before COVID, I was going 2-3 times a week. I was trying to eat healthier so I'd stop by on my way home from work to get fresh greens for salad, get some fresh produce, and check out the butcher's counter for any specials.

Now thanks to COVID, the store barely runs any deals and there's limits on produce and meat. I'm pretty sure meat costs increased, too. So now I go once every 1 1/2 - 2 weeks to stock up on any meat I can get, potatoes, and rice.
