"Gold won't always get you guns, but guns will always get you gold."
And anything else.
All value is relative. Under certain circumstances, gold will buy you food. But once all the stores are empty? A whole car trunk full of gold won't buy you one can of beef stew. Or one more day of life.
Like the stories of the Dust Bowl, five 22 shells will buy/trade a lot of food.
