Welcome to a column from The Financial Diet, one of our very favorite sites, dedicated to money and everything it touches. One of the best ways to take charge of your financial life is through food and cooking. This column from TFD founders Chelsea Fagan and Lauren Ver Hage will help you be better with money, thanks to the kitchen.
When’s the last time you really thought about what you spend on food? Maybe you wing it and just buy everything that’s on sale that week. Or maybe you set a grocery budget years ago, but haven’t adjusted it, despite the fact that your life has changed drastically. Or maybe you don’t even remember the last time you made a grocery list.
Food spending obviously varies; a particularly enthusiastic home cook may prioritize expensive meats, while someone who sees food as nothing more than a necessity may be fine subsisting on beans and rice. With all of our different lifestyles, diets, and interests, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to food budgeting.
