Can this run afford the meals it wants?
Every week costs a meal, and meals cost 3,000, 6,600 or 14,600 G. The gap between the tiers is where runs get into debt — and debt is one of the five endings. This works out how many weeks each tier survives on the gold in hand.
★ tier
3,000 G
One clean stat gain, no downside.
- Weeks your gold buys
- 5
- Covers remaining weeks
- No
Short by 7 weeks. Borrowing the difference from Calico is what turns a shopping problem into the Use Responsibly ending.
★★ tier
6,600 G
Larger gain, and many second-tier meals scale up when the fed stat is still low. The efficient tier for fixing a lagging stat.
- Weeks your gold buys
- 2
- Covers remaining weeks
- No
Short by 10 weeks. Borrowing the difference from Calico is what turns a shopping problem into the Use Responsibly ending.
★★★ tier
14,600 G
Large single-stat gain or a special effect — but not automatically better than a cheap meal you can afford every week.
- Weeks your gold buys
- 1
- Covers remaining weeks
- No
Short by 11 weeks. Borrowing the difference from Calico is what turns a shopping problem into the Use Responsibly ending.

Second-tier meals frequently scale their bonus off how low the fed stat is, and third-tier meals sometimes add special effects. Neither rule has published numbers that hold across all categories, so this table shows the documented first-tier values and nothing it cannot support.
Prices verified on patch 1.0.2. Where a category's per-tier output is not published, the tool shows the documented first-tier value and says nothing about the rest.
