How often do you pinch flat?

I'm curious what is considered normal for how often you guys pinch flat.  Watching some of the group ride videos, it seems like some of you guys are replacing tubes a few times a ride.  

I started riding the Ridenow TPU tubes; cause the weight savings is ridiculous.  But patches have all pulled loose.

Nothing worse than a bike you need to ride gingerly. 

Changing a tube normally ruins your grind so its just not worth running a light tube or an XC tyre to save a couple of grams here or there.

I have found the TPU tubes are more pinch resistant than a standard tube.  They just don't take to patching well.

Normally I try to keep my PSI high enough I don't pinch; but was curious how often other people are.
