We often tend to think about certain types of eating experiences as unusual or infrequent. And when we do so, we actually discount the impact of those calories on our diet. We also apply the same kind of reasoning to food, the choicest we make as we decide what to eat.
Have you had a recent surprise expense? You're not alone. More than half of American households report facing an unplanned financial shock in the last year.
