The Best Time to Buy Almost Everything

House and home

• Real estate: March through August are active months for buying and selling, so a buyer looking for a deal will have better luck negotiating on an offer in autumn and winter.
• Flooring:Carpet and flooring goes on sale near the end of the year due to slow sales, though discounts are possible throughout the year from independent retailers.
• Furniture: January and July, when stores need to make room for new inventory.
• Gas grill: Like air conditioners, the best time to buy is during winter months, when demand for outdoor grills is low.
• Cookware: April and May (think graduation and wedding prime time) and October and November (holidays approaching).
• Linens: January "white sales" and the end of each season (i.e. as spring approaches, winter-colored linens will go on sale). It's common to see linens (in all colors, not just white!) on sale for up to 60 percent off retail.
• Mattress:New mattresses arrive in stores in May, when you'll find a good deal on the previous year's models.
• Vacuum cleaner: June, when new models hit the floors, and end of winter.
• Hardware: Big sales occur around Father's Day and between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
• Home appliances: New models arrive in September and October, when you'll find good deals on last year's models. Holiday weekends-Fourth of July, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Presidents Day, also are good bets for deals. If you're willing to buy an appliance with a ding or a scratch, you can save hundreds.
• Air conditioner: Winter months, when demand is low.

Flora

• Flowers: Tulips are less expensive in February, peonies in May. Flowers are at their best when in season.
• Shrubs, trees, etc. Autumn is a good time to buy bulbs (store them according to directions on the packaging) and trees and shrubs (nurseries are trying to clear out inventory).

Recreation

• Outdoor (general): Swings, beach and pool toys, swimming gear, and other outdoor items go on sale in August, when retailers are trying to make room for fall and winter items.
• Outdoor gear (bicycles, for example): February and March, when new models replace last year's models.
• Boat: Boat shows, held from January through March, generally offer the best prices.
• Gym membership: Membership sales soar in January as everyone resolves to lose weight, but lag in spring and summer. You'll find lower fees and waived enrollment fees to lure you to their treadmills.
• Movie tickets: Matinees are an established way to spend less at the theater (as is smuggling in your own M&Ms, not that I’d condone such behavior or ever do so myself…). A.M. Cinema (AMC Theaters) sells discounted tickets before noon from Friday to Sunday and on holidays.
• Broadway tickets: Find bargains hours before the show, or try the well-known TKTS booth in Times Square.

Electronics

• Blu-ray player: Black Friday sales and after-Christmas sales offer some of the best deals.
• TV: Sales can be found throughout the year. Times to note include Black Friday, between Thanksgiving and Christmas, right after New Year's Day, before the Super Bowl, and in May and June. New models hit stores in August and September, when you'll find sales on new models and discounts on the previous year models.
• Cell phone: New customers get the best deals. For new phones, wait six months if you can. Search online for coupon codes, as well.
• Digital camera: The Consumer Electronics Show and Photo Marketing Association convention mean new models will arrive in stores. Shop in January and February for deals on last year's models.
• Computer: Back-to-school season yields a few sales, but the best deals can be found when a technology is outdated and retailers want to get rid of the older models. Look for a few extras (free shipping, bundled accessories, etc.) around the holidays.

Tip: In general, you'll find a good deal when an electronic item is outdated. Wait until after technology shows like MacWorld and the International Consumer Electronics Show to see if your iWhatever will be discounted to make way for the next big thing.

Auto

• New car: New models roll into the lot in fall, so shop in September for last year's model. Shop on a weekday at the end of the month to get the undivided attention of a salesperson trying to make their monthly quota.
• Used car: Dealers increase their inventory in April to start the spring selling season. You'll find a good selection and willing negotiators.
• Recreational vehicle: Dealers sometimes offer specials in winter, but generally buying an RV works like buying a car (see new cars).
• Gasoline: Fuel up on a weekday, early in the morning if gas prices are rising or in the evening if gas prices are going down (prices are usually changed between 10 a.m. and noon).
• Oil change: Look for early bird specials in your area.
• Tires and auto parts: During April (National Car Care Month) and October (Fall Car Care Month), you are likely to find buy-three-get-one-free deals on tires, free oil changes, and other checkups.
• Car wash: Early birds (before 8 or 9 a.m.) can often find deals at full-service car washes.

Travel

• Airline tickets: For domestic nonholiday travel, look for the lowest fares 21 days from your departure. Fares are updated at 10 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 8 p.m. on weekdays, and airlines file one update on Saturday and Sunday. Lowest fares are filed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and occasionally on Saturdays. Wednesday is generally the cheapest day to fly and Sunday the most expensive. (Exception: the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, the busiest travel day of the year.) For holiday travel, start looking in September to get a good price. Fares can change quickly, and much depends on the carrier and the market.
• Travel (general): The off-season or shoulder-season for your destination will offer the most savings on lodging, recreation, transportation, etc.

Food

• Groceries (supermarket): On Sunday evenings, you'll save money through store sales (typically run Wednesday through Thursday), and by shopping in the evening, you can save even more on items that must be sold by day’s end. If you clip coupons from the Sunday newspaper, you'll enjoy additional savings.
• Coupons: While coupons are available throughout the year, the most coupons appear in the Sunday paper during November and December. The best deals on turkeys can be found two weeks before Thanksgiving to Christmas. In spring, you'll find coupons on seasonal produce, ham, and frozen food (apparently March is National Frozen Food Month, who knew?). Summer coupons offer discounts on grilling items and ice cream. Autumn brings coupons on soup and other canned items.
• Groceries (farmers market): Vendors often lower prices near closing to avoid having to pack up perishables and take them back to the farm.
• Champagne: With steep competition to be your New Year's Eve bubbly, Champagne houses drop prices during the holidays.

Clothing and accessories

• Clothing (general): Got your heart set on something in particular? Shop on a Thursday evening six to eight weeks after the item arrived in the store. By Thursday, the weekend sales have started and the selection will still be good. Season-end clearance sales also offer up savings.
• Baby clothes: Shop during your pregnancy for end-of-season clearance items. If it's springtime and you are due in winter, look for winter closeout sales now for infant clothing.
• Jewelry: Avoid the holidays, when you are most likely to pay full price.

Weddings

• Wedding (general): The off-season can mean big discounts. If you live in a cooler climate, you'll find savings during the winter months. Hotter climates mean likely deals in summer months.
• Wedding dresses: After Thanksgiving and before Christmas. Boutiques are stocked with gowns for Christmas engagements, but it's a slow sales period.

Other

• Toys: October and November offer good bargains as retailers gear up for the holiday season.
• Wrapping paper: January, of course!

Having Trouble Sleeping?

How much sleep do I need?

Do you have a realistic idea of how much sleep you need? A general guideline for adults is 7-8 hours of sleep a night. Older adults need a similar amount, but the sleep may be lighter and may include a brief nap during the day. If you are consistently waking up groggy and exhausted, that’s a signal that you may need to up your sleep intake. If you’ve been sleep deprived, it may take a few days of heavier sleeping before you can get a sense of your average sleep needs.

What happens when you don’t get enough sleep

With a packed schedule, trying to squeeze as many hours of possible into the day is sorely tempting. However, when you continuously don’t get the amount of sleep you need, you begin to pay for it in many ways:

• Impaired mood, memory, and concentration. When you don’t get enough sleep, you’re less productive, not more. Lack of sleep affects your ability to concentrate and remember things. What’s more, it makes you irritable and cranky. As a result, you’re social and decision-making skills suffer.
• Dampened immune system. Without adequate sleep, the immune system becomes weak, making you more vulnerable to colds, flu, and other infections and diseases. And if you get sick, it takes you longer to recover.
• Increased risk of accidents. Did you know that driving while seriously sleep deprived is similar to driving while drunk? The lack of motor coordination associated with sleep deprivation also makes you more susceptible to falls and injury.
Good habits for good sleep: 1. Exercise most days, even if it's just to take a walk. 2. No caffeine after 7:00 p.m. 3. An hour before bedtime, avoid doing any kind of work that takes alert thinking. Addressing envelopes-okay. Analyzing an article-nope. 4. Adjust your bedroom temperature to be slightly chilly. 5. Keep your bedroom dark. Studies show that even the tiny light from a digital alarm clock can disrupt a sleep cycle. We have about six devices in our room that glow bright green; it's like sleeping in a mad scientist's lab. The Big Man's new pet, a Roomba (yes, he loves his robot vacuum), gives out so much light that I have to cover it with a pillow before bed. 6. Keep the bedroom as tidy as possible. It's not restful to fight through chaos into bed.
Eating right for sleep:
• A rich, hearty dinner, topped off with a big slice of chocolate cake might seem like the perfect way to end the day, but it's wise to avoid eating a large meal within two hours of bed. Try to make dinnertime earlier in the evening, and avoid heavy, rich foods as bedtime snacks.
• A light snack before bed can help promote sleep. When you pair tryptophan-containing foods with carbohydrates, it helps calms the brain and allows you to sleep better. For even better sleep, try adding extra calcium to your dinner or nighttime snack. Experiment with your food habits to determine your optimum evening meals and snacks.
Sample bedtime snacks to help you sleep: Glass of warm milk and half a turkey or peanut butter sandwich Whole-grain, low-sugar cereal or granola with low-fat milk or yogurt A banana and a cup of hot chamomile tea
If sleep won't come: 1. Breathe deeply and slowly until you can't stand it anymore. 2. If your mind is racing (you're planning a trip, a move, Christmas shopping; you're worried about a medical diagnosis), write down what's on your mind. This technique really works for most of us. 3. Slather yourself with body lotion. It feels good and also, if you're having trouble sleeping because you're hot, it cools you down. 4. If your feet are cold, put on socks. 5. Stretch your whole body. 6. Have a warm drink. Some people claim that warm milk contains melatonin and trytophan and so helps induce sleep, but in fact, a glass of milk doesn't contain enough to have any effect. But it's still a soothing drink. My nighttime favorite: 1/3 mug of milk, add boiling water, one packet of Equal, and a dash of vanilla. A real nursery treat. 7. Yawn. 8. Stretch your toes up and down several times. 9. Tell yourself, "I have to get up now." Imagine that you just hit the snooze alarm and in a minute, you're going to be marching through the morning routine. Often this is an exhausting enough prospect to make me fall asleep.

how to keep your skin smooth & healthy

True beauty comes from within, so the key to a healthy glow may not come from your cosmetics. Your skin is the largest organ of your body. If you nourish your body from the inside out, you will make a difference in the way your skin looks - and ages.

5 Diet Secrets to Healthy-Looking Skin

• Swap Your CarbReplace refined carbohydrate foods like white bread, cookies, and pasta with their whole-graincousins. Not only do whole grains provide a lot more anti-aging antioxidants, they also provide the key element of a healthy skin diet - fiber.
  
  
  "A high-fiber diet with lots of whole grains can help eliminate toxins and act as a detoxifying agent for your body," says nutritionist Tanya Zuckerbrot, who is currently working on her second book F-Factor Beauty Diet. She recommends eating 35 grams of fiber every day.
  
• Trade In Your Fat
  Toss out the bad fats in your diet - saturated and trans fat - and replace them with good fats.Omega 3 fatty acids from fish sources can reduce skin cancer risk, according to nutritionistElizabeth Somer, author of Age-Proof Your Body. She suggested eating 200 mg of DHA a day - that's equivalent to two servings of salmon a week. While most of us get plenty of omega 6 fatty acids from our diet, Somer stressed the importance of another good fat - linoleic acid - in preventing dry, flaky skin. Linoleic acid can be found in vegetable oils like safflower oil, sunflower oil and olive oil.
  
• Citri-cize Your DietCitrus fruits play an important role in keeping your skin looking young. That's because the antioxidant Vitamin C found in citrus "is involved in the formation of collagen - a protein that binds cells and tissues together", according to nutritionist and Food Network Chef Robin Miller. In other words, collagen helps keep your skin firm and hence reduces wrinkling. Therefore, include more Vitamin C-rich foods such as oranges, grapefruit, kiwis,strawberries, red bell peppers, and broccoli in your diet. Don't just eat citrus as after-meal fruits - you can always include them in your dishes! Check out some citrus-inspired recipes from the California Citrus Growers.
  
• Keep the Strings and PeelsThere are more health reasons to add fruits and vegetables to your diet. Silica found in plant-based foods can help maintain the elasticity of your skin and improve your complexion, suggested Chef Miller, who recently developed recipes for skin care brandVIVITÉ. What you probably don't know is that silica is often found in parts that are often discarded - strings and peels. So if possible, enjoy the whole fruit and vegetable, like cucumber skin and the strings of celery and asparagus.
  
• Stay hydrated
  Fluids keep your skin hydrated and help flush toxins. Drink at least 6 cups of fluids - water and tea - every day. Dr. Doug Balentine, Director of Nutrition and Health with Lipton, recommends drinking black, green, and white teas for their beneficial flavonoid content. Skip the cream and sugar to make them calorie-free.

College Essay and how to write the knock out essay

The college application essay is a chance to explain yourself, to open your personality, charm, talents, vision, and spirit to the admissions committee. It's a chance to show you can think about things and that you can write clearly about your thoughts. Don't let the chance disappear. Stand up straight and believe in yourself!

Make sure your essay fits the theme.

Let's say that you are applying for an award based on community service. In the application, you list all of the community service groups that you belong to and service project awards that you've won. But in the essay you vent about your disgust for the homeless and how they should find jobs instead of blocking your passage on sidewalks. Your essay may be brilliantly conceived and written, but if its message is not in line with the rest of your application, it will create a conflicting message and keep you out of the winners' bracket.

So how do you know what the theme of your essay should be? The answer is actually quite simple and goes back to why you decided to apply for the scholarship in the first place:

The theme of your essay is almost always determined by the purpose of the award or why the organization is giving away the money.

Once you know this, you can choose which aspect of your life to highlight in the essay.

Answer the underlying question.

Have you ever been asked one question but felt there was an underlying question that was really being asked? Maybe your mom asked you something like, "Tell me about your new friend Karen." But what she really was asking is, "Tell me about your new friend Karen. Are her 12 earrings and tattoo-laden arms a sign that you shouldn't be spending so much time with her?" In most cases, the essay question is just a springboard for you to answer the real question the scholarship judges want addressed. An organization giving an award for students who plan to study business might ask, "Why do you want to study business?" But the underlying question they are asking is, "Why do you want to study business, and why are you the best future business person we should gift with our hard-earned money?"

For every scholarship that you attempt to win, you will be competing with students who share similar backgrounds and goals. If you are applying to an award that supports students who want to become doctors, you can bet that 99% of the students applying also want to become doctors. Therefore, the goal of every scholarship judge is to determine the best applicant out of a pool of applicants who at first glance look very similar. Use the essay question as a way to prove to the scholarship committee that you are the worthiest applicant for the award.

Share a slice of life.

As you are explaining why you deserve to win, it is important that you also reveal something about yourself. Obviously, in the short space of 500 to 1,000 words, you can't cover everything about you. This is why one of the most effective techniques is to share a "slice of your life." In other words, don't try to explain everything. Just focus on one aspect of your life. If you are writing about your involvement in an activity, it may be tempting to summarize your involvement over the years and list numerous accomplishments. However, this would sound more like a resume (which by the way you should include with every application) and it would not tell the judges anything new. However, if you focus on just one aspect of an experience, you could spend some time going below the surface and share something about who you are, which would be far more memorable. In other words, you would be sharing a slice of your life.

Show passion in your writing.

As a student you have written a lot of essays. And let's be honest-most were probably on topics you didn't care much about. You might be tempted to approach the scholarship essay in the same way that you did when writing about the Roman Aqueducts, but this would be a tragic mistake. The last common feature of all winning essays is that they are written on subjects about which the author is truly passionate. It is very difficult to fake passion for a subject. (Just try to be excited throughout your Uncle Larry's hour-long slideshow of his tonsil operation.)

But when you are genuinely enthusiastic about something, it does not take much effort for that energy to naturally show in your writing. Therefore, when you are choosing a topic, be sure it is something you truly care about and are interested in. Without even trying, you will find that your sentences convey an excitement that the reader can almost feel.

Be specific.

A common mistake in essay writing is to use general statements instead of specific ones. Don't write, "Education is the key to success." Instead, give the judges a slice of your life that shows them how education has impacted your life in a single experience or realization. If you are writing about your desire to become an astronaut, you might explain how this started when your father bought you a model rocket for the Christmas you were five years old. Focusing on a specific example of your life will help readers relate to your experiences and ensure that your essay is memorable and (as a bonus) original.

Have a thesis statement.

It sounds obvious, but make sure that your essay has a clear point-many students' essays don't. Whether you are describing the influence of your father or the effect of World War II on race relations, you must have a central idea to communicate to the reader. To see if your essay has a central thesis, try this simple exercise. Ask yourself, "What is the point of my essay in a single sentence?"

Here are some answers that would satisfy the question for essays on independence and drug addition, respectively:

"Growing up in the country taught me to be independent."
"Treatment of addiction is the only way to win the war on drugs."

If you cannot condense the point of your essay into a single sentence, then the main point may not be clear enough. Or worse, your essay may not have a thesis.

Build on your accomplishments.

Winning a scholarship is about impressing the judges and showing them why you are the best candidate for a monetary award. Your accomplishments, activities, talents and awards all help to prove that you are the best fit. Since you will probably list your activities on the application form, use the essay to expand on one or two of the most important ones.

However, don't just parrot back what is on the application. Use the opportunity to focus on a specific accomplishment, putting it into the proper context. Share details. Listing on the application that you were a stage manager for a play does not explain that you also had to design and build all the sets in a week. The essay allows you to expand on an achievement to demonstrate its significance.

Avoid the sob story.

Tear-jerking stories may be popular subjects for television specials and song lyrics, but they rarely, if ever, win scholarships. A common theme students write about is why they need the scholarship money to continue their education. While this is a perfectly legitimate topic, it is often answered with an essay filled with family tragedies and hardships-a sob story. Again, there is nothing wrong with writing about this topic, but don't expect to win if the intent of your essay is to evoke pity.

If your main point (remember our test) is this: "I deserve money because of the suffering I've been through," you have a problem. Scholarship committees are not as interested in problems as they are in solutions. What have you accomplished despite these hardships? How have you succeeded despite the challenges you've faced? This is more significant and memorable than merely cataloging your misfortunes.

Unfortunately, the sob story is one of the more common types of essays that are written by students, and it is hard to stand out when you are telling the same story that literally hundreds of others are also writing. Remember that every applicant has faced difficulties. What's different and individual to you is how you've overcome those obstacles.

Show positive energy.

Mom has probably said: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Everyone likes an uplifting story. Especially since you have your entire future ahead of you, scholarship judges want to feel your enthusiasm and zest for life. In fact, one reason some people love to volunteer to be scholarship judges is to meet positive and enthusiastic young men and women who do not have the cynicism or closed minds of many adults.

Try to stay away from essays that are overly pessimistic, antagonistic or critical. This doesn't mean that you have to put a happy spin on every word or that you can't write about a serious problem. But it does mean that you should not concentrate only on the negative. If you are writing about a problem, try to present some solutions. Your optimism is what makes organizations excited about giving you money to pursue your passion for changing the world. Don't shy away from this fact.

Find people to read your essays.

There is an old writer's saying: "Behind every good writer is an even better editor." If you want to create a money-winning essay, you need the help of others. You don't need a professional editor or even someone who is good at writing. You just need people who can read your work and provide useful and constructive feedback.

Roommates, friends, family members, teachers, professors or advisors all make great editors. When others read your essay, they will find errors that you missed and they may give suggestions for making the essay clearer to someone who is not familiar with the topic. You will find that some editors catch grammar and spelling mistakes but will not comment on the overall quality of the essay. Others will miss the technical mistakes but give you great advice on making the substance of your essay better. It's essential to find both types of editors. As you find others to help improve your essay, be careful that they do not alter your work so much that your voice is lost. Editing is essential, but your writing should always be your own.

Final Thoughts ...

Writing scholarship essays may not be your ideal way to spend a Friday night or Sunday afternoon. But remember that these essays can win you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars for college. Try to keep this in mind when you feel burned out. If you really get down on writing, take a break. Go outside. Watch some meaningless television. Then when you are refreshed, get back to your essay.

Every successful scholarship applicant we've met-and we will include ourselves here-has at some point got tired or disgusted and contemplated quitting. But each persevered and didn't give up. They pushed ahead and finished their essays. Had they given up, they would never have won scholarship money and that all important college diploma would have been a far more expensive (and for some impossible) accomplishment.
