Find some coupons if you can.

10 pack of ramen noodles/pasta
Eggs
Canned tuna
Bread, if you can.
Iceberg lettuce, cabbage or whatever the cheapest bag of leaves for salad is

Those are some ideas you should consider for your budget planning. In the future, you should get condiments and stuff for making sandwiches. Stuff that will keep for awhile, like peanut butter, mayonnaise, jelly, salad dressing, cheese, etc. One time investments that can pay dividends the next time you're in situation where the food budget could be lean. Obviously you can't right now, but getting some spices and herbs can allow you to do so much more with what you got and they're also a sunk cost investment for the future.

That said, it is also near to Christmas, you might be able to find some places, like churches, that are hosting meals for the community, or find places like a Food Bank that are handing out subsidized food. You may be able to, if nothing else, get some cheap loaf of white bread that tastes uncannily similar to a paper towel, but there might be some leg work you can do to maximize your limited budget.

There is also the possibility that you could earn a free meal at a restaurant if you offer to help them wash the dishes or something similar.

There's potential to not starve/run out of resources in the meantime though.

I'm too tired to bother wanting to edit this, but I realize that I may have misinterpreted the topic post and that you're trying to decide on how to spend the last 6 bucks on your budget ledger before you go to the market with a list. So if that's the case, the suggestions on condiments and spices might be something to consider for a way to top of the budget. Next time, you could use that 6 bucks to buy another couple of spices, lather, rinse, repeat.
