If you only have 2 dragons rather stick to buying smaller quantities so you don't have too many crickets going to waste.
You should be fine buying +-150 crickets from a pet shop every 2 weeks. Transfer the crickets from the container they come in, into a large clear plastic container with newspaper substrate to keep them alive longer. Place a little container(lid off of a cheese spread jar etc.) of crushed dog pellets in with the crickets as well as a piece of paper towel which can be kept moist to provide water. Also put a few pieces of egg carton in to ensure there is sufficient hiding space for all of the crickets. All of this should help to keep the crickets alive for much longer. My last batch of crickets survived a month in a container setup like this.
