Pantry Challenge Week Three Recap - Feb 15th - 21st

Time for week there's recap! Not a bad week at all!

My groceries this week totaled $85.64 which is $14.36 under budget for the week, and $132.64 under budget for the month, whoot whoot!

There were a couple of pricey items that I had to pick up, like raw almonds, chocolate almonds, and chocolate chips, but I only have to purchase them every couple of months so no big deal.  Here is what I bought:

Cooking spray @ 5.29
Chocolate almonds @ 12.99
Cheddar cheese @ 5.79
Jalapeno Monterey jack @ 5.79
Eggs (18) @ 5.29
Milk @ 3.97
Raw almonds @ 11.99
2 bags of kale (to freeze for my smoothies) @ 50% off, so 2.50 each
