Catch up on our food diary series, The Receipt. |
The Receipt is our series documenting how Bon Appétit readers eat and what they spend doing it.
Each anonymous food diary follows one week of expenses: groceries, restaurant meals, coffee runs, and every bite in between. In this time of rising food costs, The Receipt reveals how folks—from different cities, with different incomes, on different schedules—are figuring out their budgets.
So step into the lives of other readers and compare notes. And if you’re interested in contributing to The Receipt, email culture@bonappetit.com with “The Receipt” in the subject line; include your age, income, occupation, city, and anything else you want us to know in the body of the email. |
