if you are sure you alternator is properly charging your battery then you may have a bad battery (bad or shorted cell). If you are SURE you battery is in good shape you need to have someone put an ammeter in series on your battery and see if there is a drain on your battery of significant size while the car is off. remember your clock and clock memory on an after market radio will have small but measureable usage. If you see consumption of power while the car is off start pulling fuses one by one until the culprit is found...
it's seldom something draining the battery unless aftermarket items (alarms) have been installed. i'd guess a battery on it's last leg...swap it with a know good one for testing too.
