<card>          last four digits of card used
<total price>   e.g. "420.69", no dollar sign

BEAN FORMAT

<item> <price> <token> <token> ...

• each line following the header is one "bean"
• separated by spaces (be careful about trailing whitespace)

<item>          name of item as ONE word, e.g. oat_milk
<price>         e.g. 4.20, no dollar sign
                -> Supports subtraction e.g 4.20-0.69
                -> NEW! Supports addition e.g. 4.20+0.69
                -> does NOT support both subtraction and addition at the same time...
                -> if you wanna add a negative value do 0-4.20

Bean Tokens:

• always come after first two args
• can be in any order
• separated by spaces

1) Gnome Token

• single letter denoting owner of bean
• if there's no gnome token, bean is automatically split between all gnomes
• can denote more than one gnome in any order without spaces e.g. ca, ac

2) Multiplier Token

• e.g. x2, adds the item twice
