Supernatural takes 8 working days to film an episode. Production runs Monday to Friday. If Episode 1 starts on a Monday, the last day of filming is the following Wednesday and Episode 2 starts filming on Thursday.
There is not much public information about the shooting schedule for the early seasons of Supernatural so most dates are educated guesses. In later seasons the crew, guest actors, and directors started tweeting during production. Some directors (e.g. Guy Bee) have tweeted pictures of Call Sheets which include 'Day N of 8' along with the date, which makes it definitive when they were shooting.
