How long does your "big shop" last?
32 Answers
We live in a area which is popular with tourists, so to avoid the traffic at peak times we do a big shop at the begining of the school holidays and then just pick up a few odds and ends locally for a few weeks.
With the vegetables and salad we grow in the garden and some local bread and milk, we are into our third week now without having been to a supermarket.
I looked in the cupbaords this weekend and feel fairly confident we can make it though until September unless we get withdrawal symptons of course! How long could you manage without a trip to the supermarket?

Having seen your earlier thread, Barmaid, I thought that your reply to Maidup's question, about how long your 'big shop' lasts, was going to be "up until the point when I'm ready to strangle the shop assistants" ;-)

Wow, chris, I am impessed by your creativity. I can see you are not just a pretty face. Could one of the kind ABers here give you a small tabletop fridge for your kitchen or bedroom?
I am sure one of us could spare one if we had one. You have been so kind to us in the past with all your helpful answers.

stopped doing a 'big shop' once the kids left home. used to push two trolleys round asda, can't believe it now, hated getting home with it all and finding a place for it.
these days i buy as and when. stuff from costco when it's on offer or we run out. a trip to aldi for veg and milk and any other bits, again, when we run out. and probably about once a month or less, a trip to asda or sainsburys for things i can't get in aldi (huge packs of frozen birds eye peas, warburtons bread, some tinned stuff, low fat cheese, etc). maybe a quick nip to the local tesco metro for milk and a lottery ticket during the week.
