A 36-year-old PR professional in San Gabriel, CA, navigates food budgeting amidst rising costs while balancing dining out and cooking at home.
we noticed we'd buy a bunch of groceries, only for them to sit in our fridge and spoil (but not because we didn't want to eat them - we just literally forgot they were there). You see, we're both neurodivergent and tend to struggle with object permanence. Essentially, if something is out of sight, it's out of mind. So we started printing out a physical menu and hanging it in our kitchen - as if we were dining at our very own private restaurant each week.
