True, but that's what non-perishables and freezers are for.
You'd probably change your mind about keeping more than a few days worth of eats around if you ever got snowed in for over a week with no way to get to the nearest plowed road - four miles away - much less to the store.
It ends up saving money in the long run - for example, chicken sometimes goes on sale for half to a third of the usual price, when that happens, I buy enough for a few dozen meals, repackage it in vacuum sealed bags, freeze it, and eat it over the next several months until it goes on sale again.
