Mini-Challenge is Here!

As Mark stated, we got together and swapped/shared items for the mini-challenge that starts tomorrow.  I've been busy this afternoon preparing my meals for the week (I will be eating the same dishes every day).  Here is the list of ingredients I had to work with which totals $7.50:
24 oz tomato sauce $0.77, 1 lb bag of barley $0.83, 10 eggs $0.85, 2 small heads leaf lettuce $0.50, 6 oz oatmeal $0.55, 6 bananas $0.44, 1/2 lb navy beans $0.50, 3 1/3 lbs potatoes (8) $0.83, celery $1.00, small sweet pepper $0.30, 1 cucumber $0.50, .30 lbs sea salt $0.21, 2 tsp chili powder ~$0.08, 2 tsp cinnamon ~$0.14. I'm also using free wild onions & chives and 3 packets of sugar.
