First Timer in NYC
I’m just back from my first trip to New York City. I know lots of people who say they will never go to New York because they don’t like cities, they don’t like crowds, it’s too expensive, or there’s too much crime.

Last year I looked at how much food I bought with my grocery dollars. I was keen to do it again this year and compare. In 2012 I spent $5784 on all food coming into the house, plus paper goods.
