You’re right, but the better description of the phenomenon is probably something like:
”Buying vegetables they didn’t want” “Buying vegetables they’d never eat” ”Buying vegetables they didn’t plan to use” “Aimlessly buying vegetables” ”Buying vegetables for the sake of it” ″Buying vegetables because there were vegetables to buy”
Because you don’t really “need” any grocery shop, so long as you have access to other food. It’s imprecise language that annoys some readers, though I don’t think it’s the biggest deal
