[quote=Anonymous]Agree with pps that you should check the sale flyer and work with whatever you might have in your pantry.

I would do:

Breakfasts: canister of generic oatmeal or sale box of cereal (and a half gallon of milk), or an egg on whole wheat +banana

Lunch and snack: peanut butter on wholewheat, buy a pound of carrots and cut them into carrot sticks, whatever fruit is cheapest on sale, quart of store brand or on sale yogurt-take some in a tupperware each day, maybe some pretzels (not the healthiest, but I always need a crunchy snack)

Dinners: 
pasta +onion and whatever vegetables are on sale sauteed + chickpeas or black beans
breakfast for dinner, eggs and toast or pancakes (fruit or random veggie on the side)
chili-dried beans, store brand chili spice, onions and green peppers, a little ground beef
rice and beans, sauteed veggies on the side

Snacks
buy a bag of popcorn kernels and pop them in the micro (alton brown will tell you how)
I always have baking stuff, so I would make cookies, but if you don't and need a sweet, get a box of sale cookies

Coffee
cafe buselo

So you would need to buy
oatmeal/cereal
1/2 gallon of milk
dozen eggs
small jar of peanut butter
loaf of whole wheat
lb of whole carrots
bunch of bananas
quart of yougurt
bag of sale fruit
a few onions
other veg (cabbage, zuc, whatever's on sale)
box of pasta
a couple green peppers
bag of beans
chili spice
small bag of rice
cafe bustelo

If you have enough left over

pretzels
cookies/other sweet
ground beef/other meat
popcorn kernels

I think that would be doable with your budget[/quote]
