The "Best Day To Do This Or That" Story

It was an ordinary day.  Reading in my Reader's Digest as to which day of the week I should go shopping for groceries and which day of the week I should fill the car with gas.  If I followed their suggestions, I would have more money in my pocket by the end of the week.  So, if you care to know what they suggest...follow along.  The cheapest day of the week to buy gas is Monday.  They didn't say why, but they also said that Thursday is the worst day of the week to buy gas.  And...if you want to buy some wine for your visitors at Christmas, buy your wine on Tuesday or Wednesday.  The best day of the week to sign a contract to buy a new house is Monday or Tuesday.  The cheapest day of the week to book a flight on an airplane is Tuesday or Wednesday for domestic as well as international flights.  When it comes to booking a hotel room, best day of the week is Sunday.  The cheapest day to shop for groceries is Wednesday or Thursday since some items are typically marked down on Wednesdays and snacks are often the cheapest on Thursdays. Plus, no one shops on those days and they need more customers.   I never read why they suggest these specific days, but they must have a reason for picking these days.  As for buying a car, Sunday is the best day.  Now, if your dealer is closed that day, they suggest you buy a car on Tuesday.  The least amount of savings is on Thursday.  Best day to buy a laptop is on Monday when most stores offer the biggest savings.  The cheapest day to head to the mall for shopping is Thursday.  Cheapest day to head to a salon is on a weekday, since many people work and can't make it on weekdays, thus the price is less to try and attract more business on weekdays.  Now...that makes sense to me!  Tuesday is the cheapest day to go to a movie, since most people don't have time on a Tuesday to go to a movie.  The cheapest day to book a cruise is on a Thursday.  That day you will get the best deals.  Hey...the cheapest day of the week to get married is Tuesday.  Needless to say, Saturday is the most expensive day since that's when most people get married.  I'm sure there are many more "Best Days To Do This or Do That", but I have no idea how anyone can figure out why there is a best day.  I know, when the fewest people will do something on a specific day of the week, that's almost always the cheapest day to do that chore.  But, that's also the day when you probably have to do something else.  My guess is that the best days I have listed to do this or that has been picked at random, just to write a story to be published on Tuesday.  Actually, today is the cheapest day of the week to read this story!  Aren't you glad you picked it to read my story?  Yep...today is free!  But...so is every other day!  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
