I suppose I could simply bring more bait. But I generally bring only enough for a "good trip" and not more than I will usually use. If I don't use all of my minnows or cut bait, I usually dispose of it...feeling that fresher is always better. But sometimes recycled minnows work as well or better than first thawed. However, I would much rather use it all up catching fish than throwing away a bunch that I didn't use. Call me frugal...not cheap.
On the other hand, I take good care of my crawlers and the ones I have left are still in good shape to be returned to the refrigerator when I get home. I have had a box of crawlers last for several "light" trips. But still, I would rather use them all up on fish than have to keep taking care of survivors at home.
