[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need to make this $100 last until next Friday.  Feeding three people (one a teen)

I have on hand in the house basic pantry supplies but don't have a fully stocked freezer or anything like that to pull from.

I know from that $100 I need to buy 1 more gallon milk, and likely another dozen eggs and some sandwich bread, for sure. I'm pretty set for breakfast and coffee, fortunately.

Just inventoried and this is what I have to work with. Help me figure out what to buy for the week to get me to Friday. Needs to include lunch, dinner and snacks. Definitely need more vegetables. Don't have any bread, bagels, english muffins, etc.

1 LB jumbo shrimp (unpeeled)
1 LB pork chops (thin, bone in)
1 dozen eggs

onions (lots)
carrots (a few)
celery (1 clump)
garlic (plenty)

limes (8)
potatoes - about 2 lbs
1 bag spinach
some parsley

bag fresh cranberries
