"Waste" is subjective. Some people may enjoy driving/running a bunch of errands (I find it fun sometimes when I have nothing else to do).

I read a few news stories that during lockdowns, many people would only buy a few groceries at a time, so that they could go out more, and spend time at the market.

I was working in a grocery store at the time. People did head out a lot for groceries due to boredom and low gas prices.

Depends on your state. In the south many of them said that they had restrictions, but in reality did nothing.
