Shop Wisely

Lifehacker is a great place to go to for tips, guides, and overall entertainment. I highly recommend everyone check out this site, the hubs reads it religiously and I peruse it once in a while as well. They featured a great guide to get the most for your money by shopping according to the days of the week. Here is the low down on how to shop wisely:

On Mondays, shop for:
Electronics because manufacturers tend to apply their rebates earlier in the week
Dress pants and sunglasses because on average, these items tend to be 48-55% off
Cars because dealers that don't do well over the weekend are more likely to make you a better deal

On Tuesdays, shop for:
Airplane tickets because Tuesday through Thursday are the best days to buy tix
Men's apparel because you could save 42% on average

On Wednesdays, shop for:
Gas because you want to beat the weekend gas hike, don't you?
Groceries because new sales ads come out on this day
Jewelry because women tend to shop in the middle of the week
Shoes and kid's clothing because you could save on average between 38 and 40%

On Thursdays, shop for:
Clothes because they may be discounted as retailers get ready to roll out their weekend sale
Handbags because you could save 36% online
Gas because if you go in the morning, you miss those weekend price hikes

On Fridays, shop for:
Accessories because you could save up to 42%

On Saturdays, shop for:
Books because reading is fun
Intimates and outerwear because you could save like 50% online

On Sundays, shop for:
Major appliances because that's when everyone shops for them apparently
Groceries and drugstore items because brand new coupons and specials in the Sunday paper can combine for some great savings
Swimsuits because you could save up to 52% online
