Ever tried to figure out the best time to buy something? Big or small, nearly all consumer goods fall into a sales cycle. Which means that sales are often planned months if not a year ahead of time. With this in mind, we can plan for bigger savings on the things we need to buy. Honestly, who couldn’t benefit from stretching those limited dollars?
