Starting a new business? Sometimes you have to stretch your dollars and pinch your pennies as you begin, since money can be tight as you start your new venture.
So, here are some tips from Smart Money magazine on when to buy for the best possible discounts:
1. Buy airplane tickets on Wednesday morning. That's
the culmination of post-weekend sale discounting by competing airlines that are eager to one-up each other to offer the best fare.
2. Buy books on Thursday at Borders and on Tuesday at Barnes & Noble. Those are the days when these chains offer sales and coupons.
3. Buy a car on...
...Monday. The busy weekend is far away, so car dealers are more likely to offer deals to the few people who visit early in the week.
4. Buy clothes Thursday night. This is when many retailers, like Banana Republic and Express, start their weekend promotions.
5. Go to the movies, amusement park, or museum on Wednesday. Many of these places offer discounts and special prices on this day. For example, Six Flags knocks $12 off admission to AAA members, and AMC offers free movie screenings Wednesday mornings as part of its Summer MovieCamp program.
6. Buy gas early Thursday morning. Hit the pump before weekend demand causes many gas station owners to raise their prices.
With the money you'll save, your new venture will have an ever better chance of getting off the ground.
