I don’t think I’m trying to over stock. It’s things like buying more pasta when we’re down to 5 boxes instead of 0. We go through it, we just disagree on how much we should keep on hand.

So far, the trick has been to keep the backlog out of sight and refill the main cupboard as needed. Like, he knows I keep extra, but he doesn’t look for himself because it’s in the low-down awkward corner cupboard.

I guess I’d rather stress-buy pasta than gacha toys or another multitool or something, and I’m stressed for various reasons my therapist knows about.
