Yes - that can be a problem. For example, today may be the only day in the next few days I have time to buy groceries. So, not getting it today is more than "not having food for dinner", it's more like "not having breakfast for the next few days". Aight, so now I just buy breakfast on the go for the next few days, which means I've just spent 3x+ the amount of money I would on breakfast as opposed to just planning ahead... (Yes, this has really happened.)

And that's perfectly OK. Somedays I survive on food from 7-11 (open all the time). You could also buy food off your neighbour. Since you only care about now, there's no point worrying what they will think in the future. "I'll give you $10 for that packet of pasta". What's the difference between $10 in your pocket and theirs? What is the price of peace and contentment?

I know people that made this their life style and how such occasions as opportunities. Opportunities to eat with friends, eat at your parents or do some rigorous dieting. Moreover, not being prepared by having at least some canned food in your closet has nothing to do with being busy or not.
