To answer this question, think of the lowest number possible, then move forward.

If I buy 0 from the convenient store, I will have to buy 5 bundles of 4 from the supermarket.
If I buy 1 from the convenient store, I will have to buy 1 bundle of 4 from the supermarket.

Since the question is the minimum number, we go with 0.
