How to expense your Groceries & Meals

Do you love to eat out? Are you a foodie? Declare yourself a "food critic" and deduct your meals as part of your business expenses! The best part? You don't have to travel far. Just go to your nearest restaurant to get started!

Or, if you are a cook (even a bad one!) you can expense your groceries by sharing your cooking adventures on social media! 

Here are some strategies to consider:

Create a Dedicated Social Media Account:

• Set up social media accounts specifically for your cooking tutorials or dining experiences/reviews. This allows you to keep personal and business content separate.

Share Highlights and Updates:

• Regularly post updates, photos, and highlights from your cooking or dining experiences. Share details of your experience! What did you like, dislike and what do you recommend? 

Build a Community:

• Engage with others to comment on and share your reviews. Encourage discussions and interactions to create interest and generate a following.

Collaborate with Brands:

• Reach out to relevant brands, restaurants, culinary events, wine companies etc. for potential collaborations. Collaborate on sponsored posts or partnerships

Sell Merchandise:

• Design a logo or trademark a slogan and sell merchandise related to your brand and activities such as stickers, shirts, hats, or other gear. Use social media to showcase and promote your brand and products. 

Document the Journey:

• Create a narrative around your dining experiences and journeys. This storytelling can be compelling for followers and may attract sponsorships or partnerships.

Remember, you don't have to go to exotic locations to provide valuable, insightful content about the food and dining experiences in your community. You just have to go out to eat, document it, and share it!

Or, to expense your groceries, simply document and share your cooking efforts!
