I've been busy with summer vacation preparation, so I decided to keep this week's purchase simple.

$5 Pantry Challenge: Spent $5.38

Since I was a few dollars below budget last week, I decided to spend a little over my $5 limit this week. The graham cracker squares were a little splurge, but everything else was such a good deal that it worked out nicely.

I received an e-mail from CVS with $3 in Extrabucks (which translated into free laundry detergent), and got free shampoo at Kroger thanks to their Free Friday promotion. The GoGo pouches are a major hit with my little one so I stocked up when I found them on sale at Publix.

I didn't find any particularly compelling sales this week, so I just bought a few needed staples.

I love finding canned chicken on sale; it seems to be such a rare occurrence.

Here's one benefit to blogging about my pantry purchases: I'm accountable. I would have skipped it this week if I hadn't needed to write a post. Please link up your own pantry stock-up success stories--it will help keep you on track.

Thanks to a tip from one of the Spendwise moms, I printed coupons that made all the baby wipes free.
