Cyber Monday: A Review of one of the Biggest Shopping Days of the Year

Yesterday marked one of the biggest shopping days ever. And shoppers never had to leave their couch. The term may seem dated but the deals are not. Cyber Monday boosts some of the biggest deals and shopping exchanges of the year. According to ComScore, in 2011 Cyber Week saw consumers spend $6 billion from November 28 to December 2. Facebook even gets in on the action. So who has the best deals?   Dealio allows you to sign up for deals from popular stores like Macy’s, Walmart, Target and Amazon. To avoid spam, create an email address design specifically for getting deals and coupons. Retailmenot uses coupon and deal hunting tactic to find the best deals. ShopRunner also has deals with big brands and offers special discounts available exclusively on their site.
  • Pay attention to shipping costs. Many retailers offer free shipping on Cyber Monday, but if not, be sure the shipping costs don’t out-weigh the deal.
  • Determine what you want ahead of time.
  • Be sure to scope out the return policy.
Happy shopping!
