Answer 1

If people buy less they will start making less. The stores and manufacturers don’t want to stock huge amount of products they make more products to replace what stocks they need to maintain for logistic reasons, so if less was purchased the supplies would back up and the manufacture would slow production and shift to making something else that was selling better.
