The best time to buy

I have a whole day to do 'nothing'. My husband has gone fishing in 20 degree weather...for the life of me, I don't understand! I guess the phone call I just got saying he caught a 21lb. fish was worth it to him. It must be a man thing because he caught it, took a picture of it, and threw it back. Heck, if I caught one that size, I would have to keep it! Just to add... we only keep fish if we are planning on eating them immediately because we have a freezer full of Tuna and Dauphin from his last deep sea fishing trip.


While doing 'nothing' I found a list of the best time of year to buy things and thought I would share it.
