Cost of the amount used
Multiply the price paid by the fraction of the package used. A €3 package with 200 g used out of 500 g contributes €1.20. This is a calculation example, not a market price. For canned pulses, use drained weights for both package and recipe.
Meal cost and checkout spending
The amount consumed differs from buying whole packages. Record leftovers for another meal. Add bread, toppings and dessert when comparing full menus. The tool excludes energy, water and delivery.
Useful comparisons
Compare unit prices for comparable products and usable amounts. A large pack saves money only if used. Share a base across dishes: chickpeas for hummus and curry, tomatoes for pasta and shakshuka.
