Missed the Sales?

Congratulations to all of you who went out and braved the shopping fury of Black Friday. The northeast was especially nasty outside with low temperatures and a mixed bag of precipitations. Perhaps the forces of nature kept you inside, and you did some of your gift getting without ever having to take off your flannel pants or put down that mug of fresh coffee. Now let's say that you couldn't seem to shake the tryptophan hangover and missed the day of sales. Is all lost for you? Of course not! Who can forget about Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday? What is that? Well, faithful reader, it started when online retailers started to notice a high uptick in sales on the Monday after Black Friday. They realized that there were those out there that just couldn't get around to shopping in the days earlier and then would use that first day back to work to shop from their desks at work or home. In order to capitalize on these eager shoppers, many retailers extend their sales to Monday and few even offer exclusive deals.

Final Verdict: Take advantage of the extended sales to pick up those items that you may have been mulling over in your mind and just couldn't bring yourself to pull the trigger on early Friday morning.
