View submission: I Stopped Buying Duplicates
I think it all adds up to practicality too. I’ll stock up on food items if it’s something I enjoy and takes me away from running outta the house just to repurchase the same thing again.
But stuff like clothing and cosmetics or household items, I think you’re more likely to be considerate of. I find I’ll go through a bottle of foundation a lot more quickly if I have two on hand oppose to just the one. I get a sense of appreciation for what is there I suppose.

I stock up on food items that we use regularly and go through quickly, like veggie stock or beans. Household items (toothpaste, deodorant, bandaids, sunscreen) we buy on sale and always have an extra. It’s less about scarcity mindset for those items and more about convenience. I can survive if my mascara runs out until I can go get more, but I’m going to have a bad time if I run out of toilet paper.
