Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
CREDIT FACILITIES AND BORROWINGS	CREDIT FACILITIES AND BORROWINGS At May 26, 2013, we had a $1.50 billion multi-year revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions that matures in September 2016. The multi-year facility has historically been used principally as a back-up facility for our commercial paper program. As of May 26, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility. Borrowings under the multi-year facility, based on our fiscal year-end credit rating, bear interest at 1.3% over LIBOR and may be prepaid without penalty. The multi-year revolving credit facility requires us to repay borrowings if our consolidated funded debt exceeds 75% of our consolidated capital base during the first four quarters commencing on January 29, 2013, 70% during the subsequent four quarters, or 65% thereafter, or if our fixed charges coverage ratio, each as defined in the credit agreement, is less than 1.75 to 1.0 on a four-quarter rolling basis. As of May 26, 2013, we were in compliance with the credit agreement’s financial covenants. We finance our short-term liquidity needs with bank borrowings, commercial paper borrowings, and bankers’ acceptances. As of May 26, 2013, we had $185.0 million outstanding under our commercial paper program at an average weighted interest rate of 0.42%. As of May 27, 2012, we had $40.0 million outstanding under our commercial paper program at an average weighted interest rate of 0.26%.
