Total: $13.81
Total remaining in May 2011 grocery budget: -$4.95*

That's right, I went over budget! For the first time in awhile I've gone over my $150 monthly grocery budget. The reason? Well there are a couple of reasons.... one, I have not been stockpiling as much this year as I have in years past. Therefore I've needed more things at the last minute... and needed more things in general! And two, right now is the time to buy anything picnic related. So I've been stocking up on snack foods (etc) for get-togethers, picnics, and when we go camping later this summer.

I've only spent $693.95 on groceries since January 1, 2011 (check out my Monthly Summaries) ... at an average of $138 a month, I'm going to say I'm not doing too bad. What do you think?

You always do so well. I was shocked to see you went over. You'll make up for it next month, I'm sure.
