3.00@redcat Quick clarification question.
I must at most buy one of each of the following food items per week:
"At most," as I personally understand that phrase in this context, means that achieving 0 to 1 bullet point in the time frame is a success. Achieving 2 or more in the time frame is a miss.
This does not seem to be what the goal aught to be. Did you mean to say "at least"?
I am now a biased stakeholder of YES, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I don't think traders would be too upset if you updated this wording. That being said, traders should speak up if they disagree with what I think.
@Quroe The goal is that I don't buy more than one single item or set of items (in the case of oranges), per bullet point, per week. If I don't buy any of them it's totally fine. The problem I'm trying to solve here is that I otherwise tend to, for example, buy a large net of oranges and eat them all in a day.
So the phrasing is correct, right? I'm not a native speaker btw.
