The Best Time to Buy Everything

The Best Time to Buy Everything
I hope this calendar will be helpful but please consider this as a general guide.  Keep your eye on the sales circulars and this blog to help you find the best deal because there will always be exceptions.  Don’t forget the awesome power of negotiation too!

Other tips:

  • Airline tickets tend to be least expensive when bought on a Tuesday afternoon through Thursday. The worst prices will come when you shop Saturday and Sunday.
  • Jewelry sales are common, except around Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Christmas. So plan to buy early and always shop from a local jeweler, (from my experience) the selection will be better with more unique items, the prices will be lower and the salesman more knowledgeable and helpful.
