This is a good suggestion.

An alternative that I've been using is to just make sure I always have 2 of whatever item I don't want to run out of. For example, I always have 2 bags of coffee beans in my house. When the 1st bag is finished or close-to-finished I make a mental note to buy a replacement when the opportunity presents itself.
