1.) Scrub your bathtub?
Not often, we use the spray and that keeps it pretty clean
2.) Wash your hair?
Every 2-3 days
3.) Eat out?
a lot, I usually have lunch out 5-6 days a week and we do dinner out usually 1-2 times a week.
4.) Go grocery shopping?
We meal plan 2 weeks at a time so I grocery shop the big stuff every 2 weeks but have to pick up little stuff in between sometimes.

1.) Scrub your bathtub?
Barely ever, like only when company is coming, and we live in a different state than all of our friends and family
2.) Wash your hair?
Every day
3.) Eat out?
We used to eat out a lot, but now we eat out *maybe* once or twice a week (lunch and/or dinner). We haven't been out to eat in a restaurant in months
4.) Go grocery shopping?
Ummmm.... I used to go every week, but we were wasting a lot of food, so I switched to every 2 weeks, and now I am getting super lazy about it and it is more like 3-4 weeks. So embarrassing

1.) Scrub your bathtub?
Same as Nicole. Almost never until I think, "Oh my this is kind of gross".
2.) Wash your hair?
Every day or I might get headaches. I only take a shower every other day though.
3.) Eat out?
Almost never. I am a cheap *******.
4.) Go grocery shopping?
Once a week for the main stuff and periodically during the week for little things.

1. Never - When I shower... does that count?
2. Used to be every other day, now I discovered the dry shampoo, every third.
3. I am also cheap!
4. Any chance I get - I love to grocery shop and plan meals

1.) Scrub your bathtub? Every 2-3 days right now. We are redoing our master bath and all using 1 shower/bathtub. So I wash it real good on bath nights so DD does not have to take a bath in our filth (I know I am a little overboard but I am a freak about that stuff..lol) If I see a hair in the tub to me its nasty and I scrub the whole thing. I use the scrubbing bubbles pads and clean it while I shower so its not such a choir.
2.) Wash your hair? Everyday. Every morning I wake up and feel greasy.
3.) Eat out? More than we should. I am trying to cook more.
4.) Go grocery shopping? 2-3 weeks. But we have to stop sometimes for small stuff we run out of.

So this is a pretty embarrassing post!
We probably clean the tub about once a month, 'cause that's how often we have to use Draino. The pipes here SUCK.
I wash my hair every other day unless life has me down or is going crazy, in which case I might throw on a baseball cap for the last day and wash it on day three. Or maybe... Maybe the morning of day four if I'm out & about all day on day three and I come home and crash. But I shower at least every other day, if not every day!
We go through phrases. Like right now we haven't gone grocery shopping in a while, so we're out of meat, and I'm a freak about making sure we get enough protein... So once or twice a day, every day or every other day... Eep. But when we have a nicely stocked kitchen we almost never eat out!
Grocery shopping is typically every 2 weeks with a supplemental trip in the middle, but right now we're going on, like, a month, and one supplemental trip. I've been depressed so I haven't cared about money lately, so we've been eating out instead of cooking or shopping / organizing...
My answers are too long. One day I'm gonna write a book...

2.) Wash your hair? every day
3.) Eat out? every other week for lunch, sporadically for dinner
4.) Go grocery shopping? every other week (we get paid every other Wednesday and I do 2 weeks worth on payday)

1.) Scrub your bathtub? Once a month
2.) Wash your hair? Every other day. My hair is to my waist and I don't like blowdrying it every single day. However if it FEELS greasy, I HAVE TO wash it. I cannot stand for my hair to feel skanky
3.) Eat out? Rarely. We get to eat at a restaurant MAYBE once a month. Sometimes we get fast food for dinner but it might be once a month there as well.
4.) Go grocery shopping? I plan our meals for a whole month and shop for a whole month (buy meat, cheese, etc. in bulk) to save money. Then I come home, divide all the meat up by the meal and freeze it. The only thing we don't freeze are steaks, we get those fresh a day or two before we cook them. Our shopping trip is quite the event...takes half a day or more lol. Luckily we are able to leave our son at the grandparents house so we can fit more in the cart haha.
I do have to pick up things here and there of course during the week...like fresh veggies and such.

1.) Scrub your bathtub?
--Rarely, as the master bath is completely separate from the shower...and I must be the only female on the planet who has let a huge oval master tub go completely to waste. I am terrified of bathtubs! The upstairs bathtub is scrubbed about once a month, my stepsons are only here about once every 6 weeks so its only used about one weekend at a time.
2.) Wash your hair?
--Every day. I use a great product called "Hair One" that doesn't strip the hair of oils and is super good for my hair.
3.) Eat out?
--Even though its challenging financially- we eat out dinner at least 3 times a week, and nearly every day for lunch. That will probably change when we have a baby :-)
4.) Go grocery shopping?
--Oooh..I love to go grocery shopping. DH and I eat almost oppostite diets which is why we eat out so much....so grocery shopping is usually a pretty big weekly event as well since we have to buy a lot of stuff. I personally love the Costco portion, mostly because of the free samples :-)

1.) Scrub your bathtub? With our master bath, it's very rare (in fact it probably needs it now!). With the tub that DD bathes in, definitely more often (once a month on average unless it gets dirtier faster - I just scrubbed it yesterday because I shampooed the carpets and I use the tub to help clean the machine afterward).
2.) Wash your hair? Every 2-3 days. I use SLS-free shampoo and I find my hair doesn't get greasy as fast is it used to. But in the summer, with the heat and the constant yard work (we have 12 acres and I maintain a HUGE garden) I shower sometimes 2-3 times a day!  But that's not always my hair (depends on how sweaty I got!).
3.) Eat out? Very rarely (once or twice a month). I live in a rural area and the restaurants we DO have in town just aren't that great.
4.) Go grocery shopping? We (I) cook a lot. DD seems to need more milk every 2-3 days, so we do bandaid trips all the time, but I generally do a huge run right after payday. It helps us plan out $ if we pay all our bills, do our grocery run, and then only have to pay for gas money and incidentals the rest of the time.

1.) Scrub your bathtub? We don't have a tub. We scrub the shower every Sunday or more if it needs it during the week. Sunday seems to be our cleaning day.
2.) Wash your hair? I wash my hair everyday. If I don't wash my hair it feels to greasy
3.) Eat out? We hardly ever eat out. We live in a rural area. Once I get home I don't like to leave the mountain. For lunch I may order out once a month.
4.) Go grocery shopping? We go to Sams to buy bulk items about every 2 months to stalk up on a lot of things. I always end up going to the Grocery store about once a week to buy other things. Luckly we raise cows and do our own butchering so we do save money on meat.

1. I clean the kids tub about twice a month, and our shower (We have our own bathrooms) about once a month (I use the clean spray to help it stay cleaner longer)...I hate cleaning the bathtub and our big shower! lol
2. I wash my hair every other day for the most part, but sometimes i do it every day, depending on how it looks.
3. we eat out about once a month, and it's usually pizza...we don't go out to a restaraunt often as a family, too expensive! I used to also eat fastfood during the week more often, but i've cut that out and maybe do it once a month.
4. I grocery shop once a week...Since we don't eat out often, I have to plan meals, plus buy breakfast and lunch stuff...People always comment on my shopping cart and ask how much we spend, it drives me crazy! I usually just get enough to last a week and even then I usually have to run to the store to get a couple things here and there that we run out of.

3.) Eat out? More than we should. A couple of times a week for dinner and a couple times a week for lunch.
4.) Go grocery shopping? We usually do once a week.
