Cheapest Days of the Week To Buy Gas, Groceries and More

When it comes to getting the best deal, sometimes timing is everything.

Certain purchases will be cheaper on specific days of the week, and knowing the best time to buy can add up to major savings in some cases.

Find out the best days of the week to buy gas, groceries and more.

Mark your calendar if you’re in the market for a new television or computer.

“When it comes to many big-ticket electronic items, the best day of the week to shop is often Monday,” said Rex Freiberger, CEO of Gadget Review. “It is common for retailers to apply manufacturer rebates on these days, so you can sometimes score better deals.”

Doing your weekly grocery run on Wednesdays can save you some cash.

“This is when many stores offer mid-week specials and reduce prices on items that are getting close to their sell-by date,” said Susan Anderson, founder of The Worthy Goods, a guide for consumers looking to make conscious purchasing decisions.

Be strategic about the days you fill up at the pump.

“For gas, Mondays and Tuesdays tend to be the cheapest days to fill up your tank as demand is lower at the beginning of the week,” Anderson said.

Your department store of choice is more likely to offer more deals on Thursday than on other days of the week.

“This is when new sales start and old ones end, so you can find some great deals on last season’s items,” Anderson said.

You can find great deals at Costco, Sam’s Club and other warehouse stores every day of the week, but Tuesday and Wednesday are particularly good days to shop.

“These days tend to be less busy, and stores often offer discounts during the week to attract more customers,” Anderson said.
