One thing to keep in mind. Larian said food costs for Long Rest will increase based on level. So, it may be that we are meant to stockpile food and camping supplies for further Acts.
That doesn't solve the Act 1 issues of abusing Long Rests early on and time therefore being this crazy, wacked non-existent element, but that may be their plan.
So, at level 5, Camp Supplies might go up to 50, and food is no longer findable in the Underdark and after. So it might become more of an attrition game later. Level 6 requires 60, 7 = 70, etc.
Note: I think that would suck unless they warn us of this, but it's a thought. I also think this is not a good system.
I still think cost should be based on character level and number of people at camp. Gotta feed everyone, ya know. If you start filling your camp with people, you need to support them. Just saying. Everybody gotta eat.
Side note: I like the "Combine food into Camp Supplies" idea. That's good.
