Randi Music 8/21/2024 6:05 AMI have been encouraging my grandkids to try new foods, All three are on the spectrum, so they are super sensory sensitive, textures are a big issue for them.

REFLECTION QUESTIONShopping Stick to Your Grocery ListWhat are some of the things you typically buy that you weren't on your list? How do you think you might limit some of those purchases?
Randi Music 8/14/2024 11:24 AMSale items, for sure. Even if we don't typically buy said item. I am making changes by sticking to my grocery list, buying only what I need for the week. Shopping more frequently (which I do not like, but it does have a benefit)
