I believe the answer is:

ekes

(Other definitions for ekes that I've seen before include "- - out: stretches" , "...out a living, barely makes do" , "Lengthens (out)" , "Makes supplies last longer" , "Rab C's extras" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the L.A. Times Daily, The Star Tribune, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.
