Me too... if I think about it, and execute according to plan, I like
having just enough ingredients to prepare what I need to prepare.

My companion is the opposite, often: buying more than is needed with
the idea of freezing some of what is left over; or conversely, not
using the entire amount of an ingredient when preparing something.

Fortunately we have learned to live with each other despite this.
