I'm not looking at how often you scoop... I'm wondering How often do you wash/clean the litter boxes in your house? and do a 100% litter change??
I'm sure I don't do it enough

Every night. Without Fail.

I shudder to think of the consequences of me failing to do with this 3 cats in the house.

I clean it out everyday....full clean every 2 wks or sooner, whenever it needs it! Its not so bad with just Harley around, I know I would do it more often with 2 kitties in the house!! (I know I dont clean it as much as I should!!)

I scoop 1-2x per day, do a complete litter change between 3-4 weeks, and also wash the litterbox whenever I do a complete litter change.

I think a lot of it depends on the type of litter use you and your cat's litterbox habits. Also, food can make the difference on how stinky their poo is.

Actually haven't found the need to do a complete change yet. We scoop 2-3 (or more) times a day and the "stuff" never even gets to the bottom of the box as we've been keeping a fairly deep layer, and adding as it's needed about twice a week. With the Feline Pine we were having to clean and totally replace on a weekly basis. Clumping clay was about once a month or so. We've been using the WBCL for about a month or so now and I really still don't feel the boxes need a deep clean/replacement yet.

at least once a day, as i have two kitties. more, if needed. i've learned to make the litter a bit deeper and that cuts down on total changes needed.

Offerings... That's a fun way to say it!

Well, my cats are only kittens yet; 10 and 13 weeks old. If I keep enough litter in the pans, they don't dig all the way down, so the box itself stays clean. I'll scoop about 2 times a day or more, and will clean the box as needed; every week or I'll wait up to 2 weeks and change the litter too.
I bet I'll do it more as they get older and their "offerings"(hehehe) gets bigger. They'll probably dig deeper too...

I put one 25 pound box of litter in the box, adding more probably twice, and when I've scooped that down to about 1/2 inch, I'll clean it out completely. I'd say about once a month or so.
