About Us – COSTOMEALS.COM

We didn’t start in a fancy kitchen.
Actually, the first meals came together in a small apartment with just one skillet, a single burner, and a grocery budget barely enough for coffee.

Back then, every dollar mattered. Grocery shopping felt like solving a puzzle:
How can I eat well, stay healthy, and not end up eating instant noodles every other night?

That’s where COSTOMEALS.COM was born.

Why COSTOMEALS Exists

We created this space with one clear belief:

Good food shouldn’t cost a fortune.
