i think i have the growth potential to become a hoarder. not the traditional kind who can't throw anything out. i'm pretty good at that. it's more the temptation to stock up on non-perishable food items. in recent years i've gotten good at purchasing things to have in the pantry for unplanned baking or cooking events. i like being equipped to bake/cook without lots of prior notice. the problem (or the potential problem) is i'm feeling an impulse to double-up on my supplies. worries such as "what if we use that tomato paste and forget to get another one!", have been creeping in, which is why i desire two of things instead of one. this could easily creep into 4, 6 or more items of the same thing...

honestly, i think as long as you have storage space and use what you buy before it gets really old, it's a smart thing to do to stock up when things are on sale. my mom always took it to extreme so we were still drinking small cans of coke when everyone else had the big 355mL ones... but i'm constantly running out of stuff and have now consciously started stocking up on basics. it was nice this last gastro to already have a spare can of chicken noodle soup rather than starving or taking my barfy self out to buy soup.
