Budget = 300.00

565.07 total
appx 40% savings

What is highlighted in light yellow is not calcuated into our totals as I used gift cards or later transferred cash from the appropriate envelope. 

The trip to Schulz for steaks was a "stockpile" trip for us.  We wouldn't normally buy 12 steaks at one time but at a $2.99 price point, we couldn't pass them up.

So once again, we are slightly over budget for the month.  There hasn't been a month yet that I've been under but compared to the $600 and $700 I USED to spend per month, I'll take what I've got now anytime.
