Explain how you went through the Consumer Buying Decision Process by breaking down the steps and decisions you made to make the purchase. Make sure you answer 1-2 questions related to each of the six stages. I have provided some examples below. Refer to your text for a more comprehensive list. 

Stage 1: Was the purchase motivated by a physiological or emotional need? Refer to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

Stage 2: What type of internal and/or external sources of information did you use? 

Stage 3: Which alternatives did you consider? (Evoked Set) 

Stages 4 and 5: What did you do or consider when you made the decision to buy? (retail outlet, method of purchase, packaging, etc.) Stage 6: What did you do post-purchase? Did you have cognitive dissonance? If you had buyer's remorse, what would you do differently the next time?
