Hot off the presses for the inner bargain shopper in all of us: writer Kelli B. Grant reports in Smartmoney.com that "some days of the week may yield better bargains than others."
Looking for an airfare bargain? Search the Internet on Wednesdays. Airline sales kick off over the weekend, so by Tuesday competitors announce their own deals. But wait -- there's more! By Tuesday and/or Wednesday, the original airline to initiate the sale usually bats back with an even better deal.
If you're on the lookout for a car, mark Mondays as the best bet. The reason: the weekend rush is over and by Monday the salespeople are desperate to make a deal.
Shop on Thursday evenings for clothes when retailers have set up for the weekend sales promotion. You'll beat the Saturday-Sunday crowd for the bargains.
