Abstract

Several studies support the idea that consumers use a form of mental budgeting where they allocate money to mental accounts and try to resist further purchases when the budget is depleted. These mental budgets are used at the shopping-trip level, even if implicitly, to enhance self-control, regulate purchase behavior, and support the attainment of shopping goals (Kahneman and Tversky, 1984; Thaler, 1985; Heath and Soll, 1996).
