Saving Money on Calendars

 The year 2009 is a non-leap-year starting on a Thursday.  The most
recent identical year was 1998 if you want to recycle an old calendar.
If not, you can, as you can any year, use May of the previous year for
January.  Then about mid- to late January you can get a new calendar at
a half or a quarter of what they cost now.

(Frankly, we bought quite a few calendars we really like--mathematics,
movies, etc.--and now re-use them as the appropriate years come up.  The
one problem, for us anyway, is that the Jewish holidays are completely
wrong on them.)

Be braver.  You cannot cross a chasm in two small jumps.

 
Or to keep it really simple, check only what day March 1st is. Then on
leap years, use two calendars - one for Jan-Feb and one for March-Dec.

I keep a list of which years are near-identical in that respect so I
can pick out the right calendar faster from my collection. In theory,
one only needs 14 calendars so as to cover all possible combinations.
But since I want to hang more than one calendar in the house, I'd just
as soon do it differently. Besides, the earliest you're going to see
the same March pattern repeated is five years, anyway - and usually,
it's longer.

And, of course, don't use the more attractive calendars for scribbling
appointments on! (I use scrap-paper calendars for that - and reuse the
nicer ones.)

Dollar store has some decent calendars for $1.  Can't even print out
my own that cheap.

That's where i ended up getting my calendar for 2009.  I used to work
there.  Can't beat some of the stuff you get there.

Maybe not, but I don't use a printer anyway - I just use a pen and a
ruler. I only need to do four months at a time anyway - 2 months per
side of paper.
