> take what you need

Considering how bad many people are at managing their finances(USA credit card debt, I'm looking at you), it's no wonder people buy groceries that end up in the waste bin.

People in general aren't very good at two things:

Distinguishing needs from wants

and

Estimating how much of something is necessary to fulfill a need.

To be fair, shrinkflation of some products also now makes it hard to buy nice round amounts of things.

The recipe for a cake I made recently calls for 14 oz of maple syrup. I can buy it only in 12.7 oz bottles.
