Roomie and I were on our second visit to the neighborhood big box store (the one that sells huge sizes of everything). And there were the Cheez-Its. "Good price" say I.
—It really is.
—Shall we get some?
—I would eat too many.
—Should we get Goldfish instead?
—I don't like Goldfish. You like Goldfish.
—Exactly. If we had Goldfish around and not Cheez-Its, you would't be so tempted.
—Makes sense. Goldfish it is.
A new concept: Buying an inferior product so as to reduce consumption. Could also be applied to second class ice creams, chocolates, coffee, and cigarettes. I think the concept cries out for a term. Suggestions?

Goldfish have no flavor. I only eat them if I'm out of cheese-its, unable to drive to the store, have no money to get them delivered, can't reach any of my friends and happen to have some around the house.
