What does "went" mean in this conversation?
I was watching a movie. The context is that a lady is buying bacon. The assistant asks:"What quantity? Eight ounces?"
The lady answers:"Yes, make it eight, and I hope you cut it thin this time. The last time it only went between three of us."
I cannot figure out what the "went" means in here.

Answer

"The last time it only went between three of us." in the sentence means , "There was only enough for three of us."
