I wonder if it's the amount of prepared foods... a lot of folks are used to always having fresh food (fresh being relative when some of it is shipped 1,000s of miles, but you know what I mean).
And if you don't typically keep more than a week or two of food in the pantry, it can seem intimidating -- thanks for the sample list there, btw!
We get a little extra here and there, whenever there's a sale. It adds up after a while. And we compromise, with some things being a little fancier and some things being on the cheap side and of course some in the middle range. I like having some extra baker's chocolate on the shelf, so we get some Ramen too. Why yes, I _do_ consider chocolate a necessity :D And tea. Must have tea.
