When to buy anything in 2012.

The most popularly searched videos worldwide are "how-to" videos. Today we've got an amazing "when-to" instead. Lifehacker.com just posted a blog on the best times to make purchases on just about anything in 2012. They took statistics and information from a vast array of sources to define when exactly certain products go on sale, and therefore - when you should buy them.

This blog idea is fantastic. Some of them are more obvious; buying TVs on Black Friday, snow gear in the spring, golf clubs in the winter, etc. But did you know that it's best to buy champagne in the spring? Neither did I.

It's because most weddings are in the spring and champagne makers compete like crazy to be the champagne of choice during nuptials (the same goes for right before New Year's Eve). And did you know that mattress manufacturers release their new products in the summer? So it's best to buy a new mattress in May.

As for January, it's currently prime time to buy:
  • bicycles/sporting goods
  • Broadway tickets
  • calendars
  • carpeting/flooring
  • digital cameras
  • furniture
  • gift cards
  • HDTV/home theater gear
  • digital frames
  • linings & bedding
  • motorcycles
  • office furniture
  • video games
