OP What you are doing sounds like a Se/Ni process. Everybody uses their senses, let's get that straight. It's just that from that point each type will go a different direction with the sensory data. Se types have the 'realest' take on the data, they are most likely to fully take it in for what it is. The Si types tend to associate the sensory data with an internal/subjective 'memory'. The Ni type, like the Si type, has an internal/subjective association, but it's built with a multiple perspective model. The Ne types will use the data as a springboard towards something bigger.
So you not 'stopping' at the 4 dollars for pasta sauce indicates that there might be less Se, but maybe more Ni working, or it might be other functions. My ISTP coworker is very good with taking data in the present and shooting out concrete action plans in the moment (Se-Ni) while I notice the SJs are usually slower to respond because they're used to the 1 to 1 connotation and not comfortable with Ne possibilities. The NJs are slower as well, as they tend to filter through their perspectives before landing on the obvious, right in front of your face answer that the ISTP has (Ni Se).
I even see it when I play basketball. Most times I can see the offensive play developing but my body doesn't respond as quickly, while an SP's likely to quickly react and be more effective in that moment.
