BEST TIME TO BUY

SHOES
When? Later after lunch or in the afternoon to early evening
Why? Feet are more swollen at that time of the day and that’s when you want to ensure your shoes fit and will be comfy

EGGS
When? When they’re on sale or close to their expiry date
Why? Eggs can last up to 3-5 weeks past the expiry date printed on carton

FURNITURE
When? In January and July
Why? New stock/designs are released in February and August

CAMERAS – DIGITAL
When? After Presidents Day (February)
Why? New models usually come around then therefore the older models go on clearance

TOOLS
When? June
Why? Tools generally don’t go on `sale’ but if they did, it’d be around this time of year for Father’s Day

COMPUTERS
When? August
Why? Back to school sales; usually offer extra warranties and/or freebies

CHAMPAGNE
When? December
Why? They drop the price on this item; treat it like a `loss leader’ and hope you come into the store and pick up other regular priced wine, spirits and booze as well

KETCHUP
When? May
Why? It’s the beginning of BBQ season….other condiments go on sale as well and sometimes are offered in a multi-pack

BEST TIME TO DO

RUN
When? 6pm – 8pm
Why? Your muscles are at their peak and most flexible during this time of day and your blood temperature is high therefore you have more energy

ASK FOR A RAISE
When? Thursday or Friday
Why? Most people do not like to deal with conflict especially later in the week. They’re more likely to say YES and resolve this vs. negotiating it

MAKE LOVE
When? 10pm - 1am
Why? Skin sensitivity and sense of touch is increased, also more downtime without the children because chances are they’re already in bed or fast asleep

GET A FLU SHOT
When? October
Why? It takes about two weeks for the vaccination to take effect in your body. Flu season usually starts around Halloween and goes until March or April of the following year, this way you’re protected until or a lil past the end of flu season

APPLY SUNBLOCK
When? 15-30 minutes before sun exposure
When? It takes about that long to absorb into the skin. If you apply it just before going out you’re not going to be `as protected’ until it’s been absorbed

BEST DAY TO FLY
When? Saturday at or around noon
Why? Its less expensive, fewer flights, less delays, has shorter lines therefore causes less stress. Air traffic also follows ground traffic patterns…less cars on the road around lunchtime.
