A brief background before so we can communicate on the same wave length. I've had about 8-10 university courses on programming from data structure, to one on all languages, to specific ones such as java & c++. I'm a bit rusty because i usually take 2-3 month breaks from coding. This is a personal project that I started thinking of two years back.
Okay down to the details, and a specific question, I'm having problems with my mutator functions. It seems to be that I am trying to access a private variable incorrectly. The question is, am I nesting my classes too much and trying to mutate a base class variable the incorrect way. If so point me in the way of the correct literature, or confirm this is my problem so I can restudy this information. Thanks

That is the Date class obviously, next is the other base class Location.

their parent(What is the proper name?) class

}
and finally the main class, so I can get access to all of this work.
package GroceryReceiptProgram;
public class NewMain {
public static void main(String[] args) {
FoodGroup test = new FoodGroup();
}
}
If anyone is further interested, here is a link the UML for this.
