Todd: So, Melissa, this week we're talking about buying things. Now, in terms of shopping, are you one those people that are like a shop-o-holic? You buy things you don't need?


Melissa: Yes, but recently I've been trying to veer 1 away from that habit.


Todd: So, what influences you most to buy something? Is it like commercials or is just impulse?


Melissa: I think it's kind of just having the money and feeling like I deserve it.


Todd: So, it's a reward?


Melissa: Yeah, it's always a reward for something.


Todd: Well, how about ... how persuaded are you to buy something by commercials or advertising 2 or things like that?


Melissa: Defintely food commercials persuade me to buy it. Like I'll see a food commercial or even a picture of delicious looking food and I'll want to have it, so I have two or three concrete examples over just the past month where I saw an ad for food and I went and bought it.


Todd: Oh, really. Like what did you buy?


Melissa: One was hot Hotto-Motto. It was like a kind of fast food chain and they were selling a fried chicken on rice that looked really good, and the other was a McDonald's cinnamon roll.


Todd: And you saw it and you're like, I gotta have it.


Melissa: Yeah, and like one weird 3 thing happened. I just saw a red and yellow sign and it reminded me of Wendy's and then I was craving 4 a chocolate milkshake ...frosty ... so I went somewhere else and bought it.


Todd: And you got it?


Melissa: Yeah.
