Indeed. I have this particular problem, which manifests itself when I go shopping. I don't want to succumb to impulse buys, so I constantly question how much I really need any particular item. This results in me sometimes being unable to settle on anything less "justified" than bread and toothpaste.
You need to adjust your concept of "justified", and consider that fun and comfort are actual values, aspects of the true meaning of life.
According to some, skipping the bread might alleviate your need for toothpaste.
Though that's more obviously true if all you were eating is bread with toothpaste on it.
