There are many places to buy food in the U.S., from chain supermarkets and convenience stores to one-of-a-kind Mom and Pop stores and farmers markets. The type, quality, and prices of food vary greatly. As a result, shopping can be confusing for newcomers. They will want to learn where to get food they can afford.

Just as Americans living abroad sometimes long for an American-style hamburger or french fries, so do newcomers miss their favorite foods from home. Helping a newcomer to find these foods locally can ease the homesickness that is part of the newcomer experience.
