Groceries

I am trying to develop a budget in order to gain more control of my finances.  At this time I am in the fortunate position of having no debt and having a modest savings and a home and car I own  Since food and clothing are the areas that can be moderated at need to some extent they are a reasonable focus if I hope to increase my savings.  As I considered the foods I ordinarily purchase and eat I am reminded of all the variety that can be found in almost any grocery store.  Foods from around the world mingle with foods that have been common for centuries.  I can purchase ingredients to  make dishes from almost every culture on earth, let alone the major cultures of Hispanic, Chinese, Scandinavian and Mediterranean.  I am grateful for the wide and wonderful variety of groceries.
