A couple of these I knew for some reason. Others just never occurred to me there would/could be better days than others. Here are a sample:
The Cheapest Days to Buy Certain Items
Books
When to Buy: Thursday.
Why: Price compare between major chains Borders and Barnes & Noble. The former releases its weekly sales and coupons on every Thursday; the latter, every Tuesday.Cars
When to Buy: Monday.
Why: “Car dealers live for the weekend, which is when they make most of their sales,” says Phil Reed, consumer advice editor for Edmunds.com. “On Mondays, the low foot traffic makes it seem like the weekend will never come.” That dealer desperation, paired with fewer consumers on the lot, give you more negotiating power.Gas
When to Buy: Thursday, before 10 a.m.
Why: The price of oil isn’t the only factor influencing costs at your local pump. Consumer usage plays a role, too — and weekend demand is high, says Jason Toews, co-founder of GasBuddy.com, a price-monitoring site. Prices usually swing upward on Thursdays as travelers fuel up to head out the following day. By hitting the pump before 10 a.m. (when many station owners change their prices), you’ll beat the rush and the price jump.
I think this is what John always calls a “list article” on TWIT – used to fill print space every now and then.
welllll,
Lets see…
Ever notice the sales about the 20th to the end of month, WHEN you have no money left???
Heres one. Go to Hollywood video @8pm on a Sat when everyone has their movie for the weekend, go to the “guaranteed or its free” movies. Find the hot new movie in that category, then at the register enquire about the title. When they say they don’t have it, get the raincheck coupon, next time its free (typically go by on a Thu so it will be in). Also, watch it real quick and return it for 1$ credit (so they pay you to watch it basically 🙂 ).
PASS THIS AROUND, lets REAM some spammers.
THIS is legal, and I wonder IF we can do it to the Spammers.
If some group calls you..
You ask for the manager, and request they NEVER call you again…Either that company OR/and the one they represent.
You Log the call, and keep a record..
IF you are called agin, you have a RIGHT if not the ability to SEND them a letter requesting payment for your services. Average price per call, for your being a consultant, is $50, minimum.
SHOULD I try to contact Some of those sites that SPAM here…JUST lock them up, so we have proof. And request payment for services rendered?? AND DV, you should add into your RULES, that any posts for PAY sites, posted in the forums CAN be charged for TIME and services.
PS, can I have 10%…I could be rich in a matter of 1-2 years.
