Sick of hotels and project travel. Decided to rent an apartment for a month and camp on client site. Is it cool to expense groceries instead of eating out?

Well you can always stay in hotel executive apartments instead of renting (e.g. Marriott executive apartments) should be still covered by firm and at least give you access to hotel services when you want.
For food at least in my firm we can expense meal plans (e.g. Calo), if you insist on cooking yourself then maybe try a meal prep service?

Calo sucks. If you’re in Saudi: try soltree

I am pretty sure it is prohibited
