Can I eat it? Open fridge edition

The fridge where I'm staying has a tendency to pop open if you don't close it right. I got some groceries and then noticed, nearly two hours later, that the door was open and an alarm was beeping. Should I chuck my food (which would be a huge blow given how broke I am), or assume that it'll be OK?

I left the grocery store at 6:50. I noticed the fridge beeping at 8:40. The thermometer at the top of the fridge read 64 degrees F. An hour later, it's already gone back down to the safe temperature.

Most of the stuff in the fridge is just drinks and things that are being kept chilled. However, there is some freshly purchased: milk, eggs, two blocks of cheese (Swiss, cheddar), grated Parmesan, and a bag of shredded Mexican cheese blend. There is also some leftover chicken from dinner. I'm not worried about the butter, at least.

I'm assuming it didn't get to 64 F immediately, but I'm also assuming that everything was in the danger zone for an appreciable amount of time. Do I chuck what I bought for safety (which is a nightmare, because I am very, very broke and basically can't afford to replace these groceries), or will I be OK considering what everything is? Like, at least there's no raw chicken, right? I can toss the leftover chicken, since there isn't much anyway.
