Pantry Challenge Update: February (Week 2)

I am still battling to keep my goal of $30 a week even with the abundant snow we have been slammed with. Please excuse the absense of photos, but since the kids have been home, I have been cleaning up after them preoccupied with other things. I have noticed we are out of several things and it is driving me mad. I guess I have been spoiled with having a backup stockpile and  when I do not have the item its frustrating. My budget went over mainly because of the meat I found at a stellar price. I found whole cut up chickens for .49 a pound. I know, I should have bought more, but I was restraining myself.
