Buy Gas on Monday or Tuesday
Be strategic about the days you fill up at the pump.
“For gas, Mondays and Tuesdays tend to be the cheapest days to fill up your tank as demand is lower at the beginning of the week,” Anderson said.
Buy Department Store Items on Thursday
Your department store of choice is more likely to offer more deals on Thursday than on other days of the week.
“This is when new sales start and old ones end, so you can find some great deals on last season’s items,” Anderson said.
Buy Warehouse Store Items on Tuesday or Wednesday
You can find great deals at Costco, Sam’s Club and other warehouse stores every day of the week, but Tuesday and Wednesday are particularly good days to shop.
“These days tend to be less busy, and stores often offer discounts during the week to attract more customers,” Anderson said.
