That Makes Cents: Best days to buy

Posted: 11/07/08

So here are the best days to help you save the most on your next purchase.

Looking for a cheap get-away, try booking your flight late Tuesday or early Wednesday. That's when airfare sales reach their peak so prices are usually at their lowest.

Shop for a new car at the end of the month. That's when dealers try to clear out their stock, giving you a better chance to negotiate a lower price.

To get the best selection and best bargains at clothing stores, shop on Thursday evenings. That's when many retailers stock their shelves and start their weekend promotions.

And finally, dining out might not be in your daily budget, but if you decide to splurge, do it on a Tuesday. That's normally when food shipments arrive at restaurants so you're more likely to get fresher, better quality food.

Now that makes cents.
