JessiccaDo you stock up food?

Previously I read about Lilla’s article about the Earth is shrinking because of the increase population and greens are turned into deserts because of the extra need of natural resources, this reminded me of an article from a guy who protested and educated everyone through his article about lowering patrol prices.
The theory was getting what you need for the day. It may not be always full tank but if you know that you ain’t driving too much you shouldn’t keep putting full tank.
He gave a really good example about people kept buying a dozen of eggs and encouraged the supermarkets to increase the egg prices because of the demand. If we just get the eggs we need for the day or the week, for example it lowers the lack of stock in the supermarket hence reducing the egg prices.
Although it isn’t really about price tag concern, but what if we put this theory into our daily usage? Do you think you need to stock up that big batch of instant noodles or can food just because the price was reasonable at that time? If we get whatever we need nicely daily perhaps we might have this theory:
Get what you need daily -> less demand -> less natural resources taken -> less pollution -> resources exhaust slower.
Ok ok, shopping daily might tire a lot of people for those who doesn’t have enough time to shop. Perhaps taking weekly needs is more adjustable to the busy urban workers.
What do you think?
Do you want to stock up to get ready for “Day After Tomorrow”, or you just get what you need is more practical?
Do you think you really want to eat those can food or dry food everyday until you finish them?
Do you always plan before you head to market to buy something?
