My kitchen reno hit 47 trips to the hardware store, is that insane?

We are gutting a 1970s kitchen in Tacoma and I started counting every run for returns, extra parts, or stuff I forgot to measure. Hit 47 before the countertop template got ordered, and my wife says that's a red flag while my buddy says it's normal for any older house. Some folks plan every cut ahead and do maybe 12 trips, others wing it like me and pay the gas tax. Where did you land on your biggest project, and did the number ever make you rethink your whole approach?

Wait, you guys are actually counting trips? I thought 40+ was just part of the deal, guess I was wrong.
