“Cyber Monday” Deals?

Are you an online shopper like me for the holidays? I’ll tell you what, I didn’t used to be, until the long lines, and hot malls with overcrowded walkways and even more crowded, stuffy stores, was enough to make me into an online shopper/connisseur quicker than you can say “Cyber Monday”. Anyways, that’s what today is called, or has been cleverly coined by the marketing industry, as a day that people shop online, or the biggest retail sales day of the year – online that is.

I’ve heard both ways though. I’ve heard that it’s just a myth that today is Cyber day, the biggest online shopping day of the year, and I’ve also heard that it’s a myth that Black Friday, that infamous Friday after Thanksgiving when everyone rushes the stores for those early bird specials and other deals, is also a myth, and the biggest holiday shopping day is actually one that is usually closer to the big day itself.

Either way, there were apparently some great deals to be had online if you’re an avid holiday online shopper, but I wouldn’t know what they were because I was at work, and it doesn’t exactly bode well if the boss goes by and everytime sees you on Amazon.com or some other such site.

Keep your credit cards in check, remember, but if you must, at least use something like one of your best airline credit cards, so you can earn those airline miles while making purchases for family and friends, or even better, load and use a prepaid credit card, so that you have all your spending planned out in advance, and this way you can be sure not to go over your credit card spending budget for Christmas, as so many people unwittingly do, uh, including me!
