Does anyone buy certain items certain times of the month
at payday?

To make myself clearer, I am wondering for instance if at
1st of month, do you stock up on cleaning supplies, toiletries
& then on 15th (2nd payday) do you buy bulk meats, stock
pantry w/ grocery items etc?

We don't have a SuperWalmart here so I go to Walmart for
toiletries etc & then to grocery for food items. It seems every
week I always have Walmart items (i.e. dental floss, cleaning
supplies etc) on my list. (I keep 2 lists, a grocery one
& a Walmart and/or dollar store one).

Please advise if any of you have a set pattern that is
successful!

I do most of my shopping at Super Wal-Mart unless another store has a great sale. I just buy what I need when I need it but I have a good stockpile right now so some weeks,if there aren't any good coupons/sales,I don't buy any.
I do wish I had more toilet paper lol

I usually buy cleaning supplies and diapers the first of the month at walmart. This also includes toiletries. I budget for 25.00 a month for all 35.00 for diapers and wipes. The rest of my grocery money goes for food items and I try and split that up as much as I can. But If I find a great sale say whole chicken for .49 cents a pound I will stock up and sacrifice something else. Hope that helps.
