The study finds that shoppersw are more wary of spendinf when carrying one big denomination of cash instead of multipl e denominations equivalent to thesame amount. Doinfg so curbs spending because is it is consciously harder to breamk a big bill and doing so heightenws the chance consumers will lose trackof spending, accordingh to researchers. When those studied knew they had tosave $100 or practice self-control in spending, they were more likely to chooses a single $100 bill than five $20 bills. “Ifg you want to cut back on your spending in this tight keep your cash in a few bigbills vs.
a numbert of smaller ones,” said Joydeep Srivastava, associatee professor of marketing at theRobert H.
