Want your money to go further but not lower your product quality? Here are some suggestions adapted from Smart Money:

• Buy a car on Monday. Car dealers are more likely to offer deals to the few people who visit early in the week when the weekend rush seems far away.  Even better, pick a Monday after a slow, rainy weekend.
• Buy airplane tickets on Wednesday morning. That’s the culmination of post-weekend sale discounting by competing airlines that are eager to one-up each other to offer the best fare.
• Go to the movies, amusement park, or museum on Wednesday. Many of these places offer discounts and special prices on this day. For example, Six Flags knocks $12 off admission to AAA members, and AMC offers free movie screenings Wednesday mornings as part of its Summer MovieCamp program.  It goes without saying that an afternoon matinee is cheaper than the same movie in the evening.
• Buy gas early Thursday morning. Hit the pump before weekend demand causes many gas station owners to raise their prices.
• Buy books on Thursday at Borders and on Tuesday at Barnes & Noble. Those are the days when these chains offer sales and coupons.
• Buy clothes Thursday night. This is when many retailers, like Banana Republic and Express, start their weekend promotions.  You’ll be surprised how many business start posting their Friday sale prices Thursday evening to be ready for the next morning’s opening.
• Buy a Harley between Christmas and New Years. Not only is this a slow time, Harley dealers have good reason to mazimize their annual sales because the next year’s allocation is based on the prior year’s sales.
