Grabbing the best prices is all about where and when you shop. Retailer reporting service SumAll has identified the best (and worst) days and months to find online deals and packed it all in this handy calendar infographic.

The data is compiled from over 3,000 merchants and almost half a billion transactions over four years.

It probably won't surprise you that November offers the biggest discounts (an average of 5.99 percent), followed by post-holiday January (4.95 percent), but the calendar also warns you that March is a dismal time to shop if you're looking for sales (2.76 percent).

The best days to buy are Tuesday and Thursday. Forget big savings on Sunday.

And new companies (just opened or under two years old) offer the biggest deals versus established ones. So don't wait to shop at a new site.

Click here's the whole graphic, which includes which states offer the best deals (right click to save):

Keep in mind that there are specific days and months that are best for particular shopping categories (see our best time to buy anything guide or this handy infographic). If you're just planning your shopping in general, though, consider waiting until the days and months with the highest discounts.
