Click the small See exact matches link under the first result and be somewhat disappointed with the results. Google Lens is getting better, but it still falls heavily short from the old school Image Search. Don't quote me on this, but I feel that Image Search has access to a larger library of images, especially older ones.
If you use a low resolution image for image searches, you can force an image search engine to be more lenient with results. Essentially broadening the scope. Then scroll down to Pages that include matching images. Here you immediately see thumbnails of the stock photo that we are looking for. Google gives "outlet store" as a suggestion in the search box, so to further specify results:
There are a LOT of junk webpages there, so now comes the boring part of sifting through the sewage to see if there is a page with a larger version of the image. It helps if the website atleast sounds somewhat familiar. Thankfully, there is.

and replace URLHERE with the location of the image you want to search for. Note that the location needs to be web accessible, so if you have a local file you'll need to upload it somewhere first.
To make things easier, I can personally recommend the Reverse Image Search extension for your browser. A simple lightweight addon that adds a context menu to quickly search an image on Google / Yandex / IQDB / Baidu / SauceNao, and the ability to add custom search queries like this one for the old Google Image Search.
Available for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera on their respective addon browsers and for all other Chromium-based browsers through a manual install via GitHub
Update February 2024
This no longer works and will just return an empty page without results. Looks like Google finally pulled the plug on old Image Search so we are stuck with Lens from now on. RIP. You will be missed.
Of course, duh. Around here supermarkets and 24-hour shops always gave out brochures about promotional items with their exact prices, so you can easily calculate their price after tax.

Grew up in the Seattle area, I-5 and I-405 back up legendarily around there during morning and evening rush hour since basically the entire north end commutes through it.
