The Internet cloud is chock-full of reminder services, from when to clean your bathroom to when to pay your taxes. However, if your goal is saving money, you might want to follow the anti-calendar. This is our guide to buying products and services at the time of year when no-one else is, so the price could be much lower. I've started such a calendar, and hope that with your input we can develop this into a great money-saving tool.
