Once a week thing for the most part, except some exclusive cases. LOL

I am a pre-emptive shopper. If the tube of toothpaste is almost empty, I go ahead and buy a new one if I happen to be at the store buying something else. Family members and partners always tell me that this is a waste of money, but I don't see why. I'd be going to buy the item later on anyway, and I wnat to make sure I have a well-stocked supply of food and toiletries in case I can't get to the store for some reason.

I only shop for what I need when I need it. Unfortunately, I am a student :P

Once a week we stock up, with the odd trip to get milk or bread during the week. I hate supermarkets!! lol :)

Mostly pre-emptive.

"Preemptive" ... I don't like to be out of anything.:)

I shop when the fridge is empty!

I try to keep everything stocked for the most part. Except for certain foods like veggies or fruit, those dont keep. But I stock up on cereals, crackers, soda and condiments, ketchup especially! I keep at least 2 extra ketchup bottles in the house. And always have some meat frozen to make dinner at the drop of a hat! TP, paper towels, soap, etc same thing. You never know when you'll run out. I even keep extra deodorants and toothpastes stocked in the hall closet. I buy things when they are on sale and just stock up. Light bulbs and batteries too. You use the items eventually, why not get them on sale and hold on to them for a bit while not going through the inconvenience of running out?

I always plan ahead so that I NEVER run out of anything ....

I only shop when I need something that I must have.

I hate to run out of things so I try to plan the best I can.

I'm a preemptive shopper. In most cases I have an active container of something and an unopened container. When the active container becomes empty and I open the previously unopened container, then I get another container the next time I go shopping.

i personally prefer to be pre-emptive and keep a well-stocked kitchen, however, my boyfriend and his roommate are not quite so forward thinking...

I HATE to run out of the must haves.But others can wait.I try to only go 1 time a week so I try to get enough to last a while.So,pre-emptive is the goal.

I just shop from what I think we need. I always buy more then I need, it's just my way of shopping. Not sure what group that puts me in.

Been doing some pre-emptive shopping at gun shops. Gotta grandfather some things in before the Second Amendment is erased from the Constitution.

No matter how I try to plan, I always end up running out of something at some point! haha

I shop once a month and buy in bulk. If we run out then oh well, it can wait until next month.

I'm about 50/50. I get the mundane things before I run out, the important stuff I tend to forget.
