It's also one more thing to do. If you can trivially bring things with you, you've managed to avoid finding the appropriate store, finding what you're looking for among possibly unfamiliar brands, and potentially very different languages.

At least for me, walking into a grocery store that feels totally alien is part of the fun of traveling. It's a neat way to see some of the more blatant cultural differences, while also accomplishing a task.
Yes, but in general I prefer I don't have errands I need to run. Other than picking up wine or whatever :-) I'm certainly fine with going into stores but I prefer to start out with some base-level stuff even if it adds a few pounds.
