Consume
I was at the el cheapo grocery store the other day. It turns out I like their potato bread more than the other store.
It turns out they were having a two for one sale on potato bread. The person at the checkout counter seemed amazed (almost speechless) that I would turn down this offer. Why not get more bread if it is free.
Of course when you are only one person there is only so much bread you can eat, and I did not want to see it go to waste (nor did I want to force myself to consume so much that it all went to waist, either)
I think it must be part of our consumer society to believe that people will want to get even more than they need.
Of course that really makes one wonder what a consumer society will be like once people realize that we have peaked in world oil production?

you could throw the extra loaf in the freezer and then use it for toast later!
(I know that doesn't really address the question you asked.)
