Just about everyone knows about the Black Friday deals. The Black Friday shoppers are up and out the door before the sun is even up. Waiting in line in hopes to get their hands on that incredible deal on the TV you saw the add for. Maybe there’s a special video game your kids just have to have for Christmas. Whatever it is, Black Friday is a day for deals if you want to brave the madness.
Me, I’ve never been a Black Friday shopper. Yea, there’s some really good deals out there but Black Friday isn’t for me. I’m not a morning person to start with. That mixed with the crowds, waiting in long lines only to find out they are sold out of the very thing you got up for, then the cash register lines, not worth it for me. I know a lot of people love it, and I admire you.
For me, I love Cyber Monday. I’m an online shopper anyway but Cyber Monday has some great deals too. Normally Free or deeply discounted shipping from participating online retailers, special online only sales, coupon codes, and more.
I did a post last year on a few of the deals I found. Here is the post: http://angiewith2.blogspot.com/2010/11/so-many-deals-this-weekend-so-little.html
Cyber Monday has become one of the biggest online shopping days of the year. Why? When all those determined folks go out to get those deals and find out the store was sold out of them they jump online Cyber Monday do to try to find it. That’s the short version of course
I found this article from shop.org with a little more info about Cyber Monday. By the way, Shop.org were the ones to officially coin the term “Cyber Monday” http://www.shop.org/cybermonday

As I find some good ones I’ll be posting too. If you hear about any, please feel free to comment here and let us know!
I do a lot of my shopping online anyway too but I love Cyber Monday. I hate Black Friday shopping. I tried it a few times and the crowds are just too much for me.
