It can lead to impulse purchasing comfort foods (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">like that bag of chips to eat on the way home<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) and simply overspending in general.

When I make any meal that can be frozen, I always make double so I have a whole meal ready in the freezer ready to go.
