You may prefer to shop on Sundays because it fits your schedule best or you choose Tuesday afternoons because it's less crowded. Maybe it's time to rethink your strategy and instead shop on the day that offers the best deals. What day is that? It depends on what you're buying. SmartMoney figured out the best days for the deepest discounts. That means that prices for the exact same item in the exact same store could be lower on Sunday than it is on Wednesday. Here is SmartMoney's advice on what to buy on which days:
Sunday
Appliances: Prices for washers, dryers, ovens and refrigerators are about 1 percent to 2 percent cheaper on Sundays, which works out to about $10 saved on a mid-range model.
Groceries: While most grocery stores publish their weekly sales circular on Wednesdays, Sunday is the best day to shop. Clip coupons from Sunday's newspaper for more savings.
Personal Care Items: You'll find the best deals on toothpaste and deodorant at the drugstore chains on Sundays. You must go early to get the best deals.
Skirts and Dresses: Skirts sell, on average, for 77 percent off the retail price, while dresses are discounted, on average, 54 percent.Monday
Cars: Cars are cheapest on Mondays as dealerships are more willing to negotiate. This holds true whether weekend sales were lackluster and they want to makeup for that or whether weekend sales were robust and they want to continue it.
Electronics: Computers, televisions, digital cameras and even video games are between 2 percent and 4 percent cheaper on Mondays.Tuesday
Airfares: Since most domestic fares are posted on Monday evening, there is a scramble Tuesday morning to match prices. The number of cheap seats peaks at about 3 p.m. on Tuesday.Thursday
Clothing: Both brick-and-mortar stores and online retailers tend to begin their weekend sales on Thursday. You'll find the best deals and the most in-stock items. However, there are exceptions. See Monday.Saturday
Books: Books are 11 percent cheaper on Saturdays; they are priced at their highest on Fridays.

STUDY: Digital Multitasking Makes Us Dumber
NEW YORK - In the digital age up-to-the-minute updates are a click and a touch away. But a new study says all of our gadgets and all of this multitasking aren't necessarily good -- and may actually be making us dumber. The same devices that connect us and keep us plugged in have obvious drawbacks.
A new study from Carnegie Mellon, first reported on yahoo.com, attempts to analyze the impact of juggling email, texts, and social media on your brain while you're at work. People who were told they might be interrupted but were left alone had a surprising result.
Dr. Ezriel Kornel, a neurosurgeon, says it is not surprising that people who were interrupted even if they knew they'd be interrupted performed poorly during the experiment.
Peter Shankman, a marketing and advertising consultant, says companies have taken notice of potential distracted employees.

'Netflix Adultery' Afflicts Half Of Relationships, Says Netflix
AT A GLANCE
• According to a new study, Netflix adultery afflicts half of relationships
• "Netflix adultery" is when people watch ahead on TV shows they were supposed to save to watch with their partners
• Of those who cheated, 66% did so "at home by themselves on the main TV"
• A shocking 21% confessed to watching in bed while their significant other slept
• 41% cheaters refrained from revealing spoilers; 12% would rewatch and "fake it" in their reactions; 14% felt so guilty they confessed to cheating
**************************
In an effort to better understand its product — or, you know, to launch a viral-friendly ad campaign — Netflix is now studying "Netflix adultery." In a study of 2000 American adults, 12 percent confessed to watching ahead on TV shows they were supposed to save to watch with their partners. Ten percent admitted to being the victim of Netflix adultery, which means either 2 percent are blissfully unaware of their partners' indiscretions, or the cheaters are hitting multiple victims.
Of those who cheated, 66 percent did so "at home by themselves on the main TV." A shocking 21 percent confessed to watching in bed while their significant other slept. (This is my modus operandi, and it is shameful.) Forty-one percent of cheaters refrained from revealing spoilers; 12 percent would rewatch and "fake it" in their reactions; 14 percent felt so guilty they confessed to cheating.
Seventy-seven percent of men ages 18 to 34 said they would cheat, whereas only 57 percent of women that age said they would. As for people actually in relationships (not all of the men and women were), 51 percent of committed adults said they had or would commit Netflix adultery, if the moment was right and Netflix was looking particularly foxy that night.
Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer at Netflix, accepts no blame: “Netflix continues to revolutionize entertainment by letting our members watch great content whenever and wherever they want, which seems to be leading to a cultural phenomenon of ‘stream cheating.’ With that said, Netflix can’t be held responsible for any trust issues, lovers’ spats, or marital troubles that arise from watching ahead of your partner. We also will not cover any therapy sessions. As always, we advise to Watch Responsibly.”

5 Lifesaving Skills You May Need One Day
(flickr/stealth33770)
1/How to escape quicksand. You won't sink or be sucked under if you stay calm. Just slowly pull each leg to the surface. Once you're on your stomach or back then wriggle your way to solid ground.
2/What to do if you're buried alive. Don't yell, it'll take up O2. Take off your shirt to cover your face from all the dirt that's about to fall as you kick the lid of the coffin until it breaks. Stand up and dig your way out. Easy!
3/How to find water in the desert. Look for green vegetation and then dig about a foot down to see if your hole fills up with water.
4/How to survive a bear attack. Bear pepper spray is best. Otherwise just play dead by lying on your stomach with yoru hands covering your head and neck.
5/What to do if you're driving during a tornado. This is the least desirable place to be during a tornado. If you're stuck, though, don't get out of the car or park under an overpass. Quickly get to a truck stop, convenience store, restaurant, or anything building with an unlocked door!

Send Money Through Email – For Free
(flickr/paymentmax)
Google is gradually rolling out a feature that lets you attach money to an email, just like a photo or text document. Two years ago, Google promised a service that would let you pay for things with a wave of your phone. It’s called Google Wallet, and it hasn’t caught on in the way Google hoped. Only about a dozen phone models on Sprint and less popular carriers support it. Now they’re building onto the service with a simpler idea: emailing money. Look for the $ icon in your attachment options. You can also get earlier access if your friends have the feature and send money to you. There’s no cost to receive money, and no cost to send it if you link your bank account to Google Wallet or use funds already in your Wallet account. Paying with a debit or credit card will incur a 2.9% fee or a minimum of 30 cents. If you don’t use Gmail, the Google Wallet smartphone app can also send or receive money.
