Grocery Budget Update - May

My big stock up item was boneless skinless chicken breast and I got that on sale at Albertson's for $1.66 a pound.  I ended up buying twenty pounds, dividing it up into portions sized for our family and freezing them.

Our nonfood items came in a bit over at $28.59 as I stocked up on cat food, laundry detergent and tissues that were on sale at super low prices.  I also used coupons on the detergent which save me an extra $2.00.

Here is the list of all the food items I bought last month.  The items in red are my stock up items:
