Alesandra (Alice) Dubin is a seasoned travel and lifestyle journalist based in Los Angeles. She holds a BA from UC Berkeley and an MA in journalism from NYU.

Lisa Moskovitz is a Registered Dietitian and CEO of NY Nutrition Group a large group practice in New York City. She lives in the city with her husband and two toddler boys.

Moskovitz tries to keep the family's grocery budget under $200 a week. But in the notoriously expensive city "it doesn't always work that way" she admits. "Given that we live in NYC expenses are constantly going up and will only get higher as our kids get older. Of course food is a priority in our budget so it's important to set aside enough income so we never have to worry."
