"Department-Store WaresWhen to Buy: Saturday evening.Why: Department stores have a lot to mark down for their Sunday circulars, so they frequently start the process on Saturday evenings before store closing, says Finney. "They're preparing for the big rush," she says. Bonus: Even if the markdowns haven't been made, many employees will honor the sale price if you ask. Print out the circular preview from the store's web site, and bring it with you when you head to the mall."That isn't necessarily true. I have worked at a couple of different retail organizations and they wouldn't accept future ads until the ad started. The only thing you could do was purchase it before it was on sale, and then when the sale was actually going on get the sale price.`
Gas should be Wednesday before noon. I live by a corner that has 3 gas stations. Why Wednesday because sometimes they jack up the price Wednesday night. They are not going to drop the prices Wednesday night or Thursday morning.
To elaborate a little. Car dealerships are not crackheads that'll do something desperate when times get slow. They already know mondays are slow but that doesn't mean you deviate from your business model because of a slow day. If you did you wouldn't be in business for too long. The end of the month rumor is also crap. Dealerships months dont always coincide with the calendar month.
You haven't met some of the assh**e managers I have worked with in the past. Also they usually wait till after closing or like 10 minutes till closing to start putting out new signs.
