Significado
Value what you already have.
Contexto cultural
Reflects the 'chalupáři' (cottage owners) culture where having a well-stocked and self-sufficient second home is a major life goal. The phrase is identical in Slovak ('Čo je doma, to sa počíta') and carries the exact same cultural weight of rural pragmatism. Common across the former Austro-Hungarian empire, reflecting a shared history of peasant life and suspicion of central authorities. Used ironically by younger generations when they get a small 'win' like a free coffee or a small discount.
The 'Conversational Closer'

Don't pluralize!
Even if you are talking about 100 items, always use the singular 'počítá' because the subject is the pronoun 'Co'.
