My brother once went with me on a shopping trip, and I kept doing calculations on items. He finally asked what I was doing. Told him I was calculating the Kcals/$ value of each product.
It makes a difference when stewardship is required. Check out chocolate sometime on the Kcal/$ scale. ;)

“My brother once went with me on a shopping trip, and I kept doing calculations on items.”
My long term food came from Walton Food - the Rainy Day food they produce. It would be too confusing to buy those foods and have no idea about menus and amounts of food of each item to get.
I planned menus, calculated the amount of food for each menu, and did that to amount to a year with additional food added for good measure. That was for two people.
Stored grocery store food would be eaten first, then transfer into the long term food.
It does require planning and calculation to do it right but when it’s done, there is a sense of security. If trucks can’t get here, I’m okay.
Are you feeling well now?
