    So this is going to be a slightly weird question, for those living on your own and the ones responsibles for buying the food in the house.

    How often do you usually buy food?

    In my case, I usually go every 10 days or so to the grocery store to buy food. At most two weeks, sometimes just a bit more than a week so on average every 10 days.

    I lived with my brother for about a month a few years ago and he bought quite little at the time so I'm guessing he had to go to the grocery store once or twice a week and from what I remember when I was still in school, my mom (when she didn't drag me to the store with her) went once a week. So I was a bit curious about how a bigger amount of people did their shopping.

    I think I covered the most common shopping preferences, but tell me if there is another one I didn't think of. I'm not putting, "I don't buy the food in my house," though.

    Oh, and in your opinion do you eat healthy? I eat kind of healthy for about a week and then when my food starts to run out the pasta comes in, then the pizza, cup ramen, etc xD.

    Usually, once a week, but that includes 4 ppl and 2 animals.

    and yes I eat healthy in my opinion, lots of greens and chicken no condiments or breading etc..

    Does it include buying food that you eat immediately upon purchase? or just grocery shopping?

    I dont buy food.

    thats the job of my compassionate and generous friends whose parents toil in their kitchens at 6 in the morning all so that their wonderful children can deliver their scrumptous food at my door steps :D

    Three times a week most of the time for everyone in our house, two humans and two cats. Even if I was living by myself it would pretty much be the same, as we all eat different things(excluding the cats of course. They eat the same things, mostly.). As for eating healthy, I do I eat organic fruits and vegetables and get my proteins in various different ways.

    The grocery store is like only 5-10 minute walking distance from where I currently live; I usually buy food in in small amounts 2-3 times/week. Sometimes I might even take a stroll to the store to pick up some snacks or w/e to take a break from studying :)

    or

    I can get really lazy and just buy stuff online and have it shipped to be despite living 5-10 walking distance from the grocery store (this usually happens when I buy stuff that aren't usually sold in stores near me and I end up packing on other random stuff :p)

    Every 10 days? Can veggies and fruits last that long?
    In my case, the grocery is only 100m from my house, so it's every day.

    We usually buy them for two-three weeks and sometimes we buy for at least a week(sometimes we have guest). We sometimes or more often eat healthy food due to the fact that we have low metabolism.

    I mostly buy food when there is nothing to eat. But I dont cook for myself so I have little need to do big one.
    It helps that shop is under my windows :)

    Just grocery shopping. It would be interesting to know how often people eat out, though.
    I rarely buy fruits and my veggies are only tomatoes, onions and paprika. Tomatoes start going bad after a week so I eat them all first along the meat.

    'bout once a week for me. i've a relative that seems to go every other day, for "fresh" food, but i think it's just because she keeps running out of sweets and uses her consistently empty fridge as an excuse to keep goin out for more.

    as for healthy... nowhere near as well i'd like. i've been taking a look at the stuff i get, and realized that there's no escape from things like high fructose corn syrup, unless i cook everything myself from scratch, for every single meal. much as i love cooking, i shouldn't have to go that far just to avoid foods that haven't been corrupted thanks to dieters.
