5 Fill-in-the-Blank Prompts for Pre-Purchase Decision Making

Prompt Edit here before copy/try — source content is unchanged

1. Talk me out of it: I am about to spend {{amount}} on {{thing}}. Make the strongest honest case against this purchase, tell me what people who bought it complain about most, what the cheaper alternative most buyers pick instead, and the one question I should be able to answer before paying. Do not soften it.
2. Subscription audit: Here are my subscriptions and what each costs: {{list}}. Rank them by cost per actual use based on my habits, flag overlapping services, and tell me which single cancellation frees the most money for the least pain.
3. Negotiation prep: I am negotiating {{salary_or_price}} for {{situation}}. The current offer is {{offer}}. Give me a realistic opening number with reasoning, my fallback position, and the exact sentence to use when they first say no. Then play the other side and push back on me.
4. Two options, one table: I am choosing between {{option_A}} and {{option_B}} for {{purpose}}. Build a comparison of total cost over {{time_period}}, including hidden costs, complaints after six months, and which failure would annoy me more. End with a recommendation and what would change it.
5. The refusal letter: Write a short firm message to {{company}} asking them to {{refund_cancel_or_lower_bill}}. Reason: {{reason}}. Cite it once, ask for a specific action with a deadline, no apologizing, no life story. Make it easy for a support agent to say yes.
