  1. When did you last eat or drink something purchased from a truck or other wheeled vehicle?
  2. When did you last purchase something previously owned?
  3. When did a purchase most recently exceed your expectations?
  4. When did you last overpay for something because you needed it right away?
  5. Among recent purchases, what was the best bargain?
