Question

Todd and his wife are having company for dinner so he is tasked with stopping at the store to buy creamer for coffee and something for dessert. The creamer is in the far left corner of the store. As Todd is walking back to get the creamer he sees a sign for cookies that says “Just like grandma used to bake”, and the bag has a picture of a woman that reminds Todd of his grandmother. Todd buys the cookies for dessert.
Todd’s purchase was least likely a result of _____.

a.
the location of the creamer
b.
the location of the display
c.
the packaging of the cookies
d.
his shopping budget

Answer 1

d. his shopping budget

Reason: The creamer's location led him past the cookie display and the packaging/sign (picture and nostalgic wording) prompted the purchase; there's no indication his budget influenced the decision.
