Shopping frequency – daily, weekly, semi-monthly?

So, I find daily shopping at the grocery store helps me eat what I need. However, if my lifestyle gets busy I run out of supplies or embarrassingly don’t have much if someone stops by (just tap water, coffee, or milk to offer).

I try weekly, but over buy and some food is wasted to spoiling.

Semi-monthly paychecks for me…. So I’ve tried this to match my budget best but end up with more spoiled fresh food or find myself in need of daily supplies like trash bags or hygiene items too frequently.

I do not online shop. I walk to the store.

Any body else have a schedule that works? I’m trying to stabilize my habits for budgeting this summer and a shopping schedule.
