View submission: I Stopped Buying Duplicates
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.

I agree! I stand corrected on household items then. Items repeatedly used in our daily life shouldn’t be categorized with non-essential purchases. It’s a different beast when we hoard an unreasonable amount of hoodies or something of that nature just cause we can.
