In this Hey Stranger! Series, we asked random strangers in NYC, “What's a Recent Purchase that Surprised you?” Here’s what they had to say. 

Money opens many doors, and sometimes, what’s behind the doors surprises us in a good way. In bite size chats with three strangers in NYC, we learned three totally different stories about surprising money purchases. Whether we are a parent, foreign exchange student, or an actress, we all have to move with the way money moves. Flexibility is golden. How are you surprised by a recent purchase? And how did you react?
