Does it make better budget sense to shop weekly, fortnightly or monthly? It's more important where you show than how long the intervals between shopping are. Buy your fresh fruit little and often, preferably open markets for the very cheapest things. Farmers' markets tend to be a bit more expensive these days. But don't buy fresh fruit and stuff at places by busy roads because of pollution. Then you can bolt buy other things like cleaning fluids when you see special offers in supermarkets or even warehouse shopping clubs or, I recommend, foreign known cheap supermarkets where the items for sale may not have familiar trade names but they're certainly very good value. Guard against the impulse to try to have everything that's possible to have in your cupboard. You are not a restaurant. Your family will and can make do with what there is there.
