We need food to survive whether that’s groceries, take out, or dining in. There’s no denying that food makes up a lot of our spend and it can be overwhelming. Grocery Diaries is a peek into what one person in Dallas spends on groceries and the type of meals that come out of a supermarket trip to explore how much or how little your dollar can take you. It’s a look at how much we spend on food in general.
The structure of this newsletter will be:
Weekly: grocery list and summary of what was made the past week
Semi regularly: random grocery and food musings

Come take a peek into my shopping cart.
