    - I try to fit it all in one big shop on the weekends. Occasionally I’ll have to supplement midweek, but mostly try to plan the whole week at once. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 28, 12:43
    - Yup. This is what we do as well. -- nm - Krusty Aug 28, 12:39
    - It all changed for me when we moved. I used to be within walking distance of like 5 different places. Now - notsomuch. - Turd Ferguson Aug 28, 12:37
  - this -- nm - decline Aug 28, 12:22
