Adding quantity to expenses

[Christopher Lam]

You can also abuse the Currency feature.

Create account called Assets:Cheese (currency CHF sounds appropriate!).
Amend its symbol to 'kg'.

Transfer from USD $8 in Assets:Bank to 0.8kg in Assets:Cheese, and the
commodity editor will pop up ($10 = 1kg).

Eating cheese means transferring some kg from Assets:Cheese to
Expense:Cheese

The regular Transaction Report can show the price of commodities. See
Display tab.
