\"cash\"<\/a>A recent study showed that people who use their credit cards to buy food make poorer nutritional choices than those who pay with cash. The New York Times<\/a> reports that using a credit card decreases the “pain of payment,” but also seems to make consumers feel less guilty about purchasing junk food<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c[W]hen consumers encounter vice products \u2014 such as cookies<\/a>, cakes and pies \u2014 the emotive imagery and associated desire trigger impulsive purchase decisions,\u201d the authors write. But \u201cpain of payment can curb the impulsive responses and thus reduce the purchase of such vice products.\u201d<\/p>\n
