ok, here we go:

1.box of strike anywhere matches
2. pack of 6 unscented candles
3. medium kitchen knife
4, 5. "mess kit"
stainless pie pan and
stainless spoon, both of which are so cheap that they are
probably actually toxic.
6. pack of 5 snaplight necklaces. not bright enough for practical illumination but perfect for signaling/breadcrumbs. snapped one last night and it's still glowing. (i might clean em out of the things for Halloween treats. Candy is classic, but be the guy handing out free glow-sticks and you're instantly promoted to GOD.)

"first aid"
7. roll of gauze
8. duct tape
9. immodium
10. ibuprofin

A six-pack of Ramen noodles ($2), six tins of sardines or Vienna sausages($1 ea), and a gallon of bottled water($2). Minimum food and water for three days.

I saw oatmeal on sale. Thirty servings for $1.99. So $10 gets you five months of breakfast. Or, assuming water is not an issue, you could drop the water in the above mix and add a canister of oatmeal.

A piece of scrap metal rod, or #2, pencil, reinforcing rod bent into handle and $4 of latex tubing and a couple of dollars of .25 or .375 steel BBs and your set for squirrel or rabbit. A 'Pocket Rocket' replacement set for $7 will get you the tubing and a leather pocket.

$5 will get you a reel of brown stainless steel wire that is sold as leader for salt water fishing. Great for snares. The other $5 might go for a cheap aluminum stew pot to efficiently cook what you catch and boil water.

I have seen both a fleece blanket and a 6' by 8' blue tarp on sale for $5 each. That makes a sleep roll, mild weather sleeping bag, shelter/ blanket system.

Large pillow case($2)and a hank of 1/4" nylon line($2)when combined makes a workable rucksack. Two liter bottles of discount soda ($4) gets you a couple of nice canteens. Canister of oatmeal($2 is a bland but workable diet for ten days.
