Why do you think that people might treat a small purchase like a snack, differently from the way they would treat the purchase of something like a washing machine? Do you consider yourself a smart consumer? Why ?

I think people would treat a small purchase like a snack differently than that of a bigger purchase like a washing machine because they would like to save up money and spend less. By buying a snack it’s a very small amount of money whereas a washing machine is a big amount of money so most people would by a snack rather than a washing machine mostly if they had little money because if the bought a washing machine they would either have a very little bit of money left or no money at all. Also I would consider myself a smart consumer because I only buy things or spend my money if I really need the thing that I am spending my money on.
