You don't have to stock up all at once, but it often happens when the conversation also tries to blend in money savings and practicality considerations.
Also, you typically don't buy rice, condiments, spices, oil, salt etc. in single servings. You also typically prefer to purchase a weeks worth of food vs going to buy only what you need daily. Those weekly numbers alone are already more than the single meals the individual is factoring in weird ways in their head. I'm not saying stock up several months or years all at once like a doomsday prepper, but most of us will stock up around a weeks worth of meals at minimum when doing this type of stuff vs doing daily trips to the store. That's where the hang up happens. Either it's annoyingly inconvenient to go daily or comments about how all that food cost more than what they'd normally pay in a day.
Like I said, I don't get the logic and how they justify and cling to it. They obviously buy bags of chips and other snacks that has consumption over several days... but they can't apply the same logic to the concept of buying actual food from the store and running a daily average for the cost of food.
