I pretty much shop for staples every few weeks, and go every couple of days for fresh fruits/veggies and fresh bread.

The farmer's markets here are fabulous but there is something even better. I have a friend that lives in BFE about 50-60 or so miles west of the city. As you drive down all these "country farm roads" the farmers sit in their front yards (well the kids do) and sell freshly picked veggies right from the farm that day. Corn, tomatoes (mmmmm), peppers, fruits and the like. Matter of fact sometimes they just leave the goods out with an "honor system" container that you deposit your money in. My absolute favorite is the asparagus farm, you can only buy it fresh during April and May though.
