I've got 10 dollars and I need to make it to Friday.

What should I buy for breakfasts and dinners to make it last?

Lunches are covered at my work. So I don't need to worry about them.

In my pantry is 2 boxes of mac and cheese and 4 packs of ramen and I have 5 eggs in the fridge.

Assuming you've eaten today, Tuesday through Friday is 4 days x 2 meals a day (lunch covered) = 8 meals. You have 6 meals if you eat a box of mac and cheese per meal and 1 ramen pack + egg (if you bump it up to two packs per meals + egg, that's 4 meals), so you have 2 to 4 meals to cover. That's not bad for $10, so buy some super sale frozen/fresh/canned veggies, and maybe some cheap hot dogs if you really want to fat out or some ham. Maybe more eggs.

if there's any bacon on sale for cheap at your store, you could use that for breakfast and to make your mac n cheese more substantial.

bacon and eggs for breakfast
ramen for lunch
mac and cheese with bacon on it for dinner

buy milk if you need it for the mac and cheese and any leftover money to vegetables of your choice. maybe another carton of eggs if you have enough.

worst case scenario- 1 hard boiled egg + bacon for breakfast each day

pack of ramen for lunch every day except 1

mac and cheese w/ bacon served with vegetable for dinner.

>a box of mac and cheese per meal
we must be thinking of different boxes of mac and cheese. that shit's 2 meals minimum, even for a fatty for pic related.
