Everyone knows about the Black Friday rushes, the hordes and the all important deals. Many, however, are just learning that you can get fantastic deals without the risk of getting trampled. All you have to do is wait a few days, and get on your computer and mobile device.
Cyber Monday is an “Internet holiday” that is quite literally the Internet version of Black Friday as many stores and companies even offer identical deals. Starting at 11:59 PM on the Sunday after Black Friday, the deals launch on all sites that participate in the growing and ever popular Black Friday. To save you some time, I’ve prepared a list of sites and stores you can access in your pajamas from your sofa and get the entire Black Friday experience while sipping coffee in your living room.
Amazon – The leading force in online sales in deliveries, no one offers better deals in higher quantities than Amazon. Nearly everything, yes, almost every item goes on sale. In addition, select providers will give you free shipping, and to top it all off, with prices like the ones you’ll be seeing here, this should be your first stop on Cyber Monday.
Apple Store – While you’re not going to be walking away with 10 dollar iPhones, you can, however, walk away with 10 dollar Otterboxes and other cases that usually can cost up to eight times more. Each store may provide different sales, however, so get online early and find out where you can get the best products.
Target and Wal-Mart – Both of these stores offer amazing sales online that you’d be out of your mind to at least not check. Target traditionally is a very busy (and dangerous) store during Black Friday, so if you want to get a $90 shirt for $25, you can get it online instead of fighting your way through scores of other crazed shoppers.
Best Buy, GameStop, and Microsoft – These stores are my personal favorites for Cyber Monday, because things in these stores, particularly Microsoft and Best Buy can be ridiculously expensive if you buy them on any other day. Some expensive cameras such as the Sony A7 Mirrorless Camera drops to a staggering $400 in price. The Amazon fire 7’ Tablet drops to $49.99 in price, which is an unbelievable deal.
With savings like these, there’s no longer a reason to go into stores during the Holiday season. Just sit back, relax, and save.
