I get to go to Atlanta tomorrow though which means I have an excuse to do a Trader Joes run Taking 3 coolers.
Not only does this save you gas, it is also great for time management. Create lists. Resist the impulse "now" items and work on planning better.

Stephen Covey has a chapter about this in Seven Habits. It's pretty good.
