Agreement question
Many stores sell generic products whose lower cost/costs appeals/appeal to thrifty buyers.
Should the word be "cost" or "costs"? If there are many products, after all, each with its own cost, the word should logically be "costs," and the associated verb should be "appeal."
The problem is that I think "cost" sounds better. Help!
