I found a great website that alerts consumers about Black Friday and cyber monday specials well ahead of time to help them plan their holiday shopping schedule. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the busiest shopping days of the year, and a careful shopper needs to plan ahead if they are going to take full advantage of the great deals that are offered at that time. It seems crazy to me that so many stores hold really outrageous sales on those days to attract the huge crowds on that day. I try to avoid leaving the house on Black Friday - I went shopping on ONE Black Friday many years ago and swore I would never do it again - no matter WHAT the bargains were! I hate crowds, and I hate standing in line! And I especially hate when I’m in a crowded store that the crazy people who are hunting for bargains are so rude that they will push and shove and grab things right out of your hands because they want that special item so bad that they will do just about anything for it! That is NOT my idea of the Holiday Spirit!
But, I will take advantage of Cyber Monday specials from places like Linens ‘N Things. I can deal with shopping at home in the comfort of my own little den. There is a website called iblackfriday.com that I found that lists a huge variety of Black Friday and Cyber Monday specials. They will even let you take advantage of Black Friday offers by buying them online so you don’t have to stand in line at the store! So I guess Cyber Monday will be extended to Black Friday, too! Anyway, I’m all for ordering online if it means saving hours of my time and miles on my car (saving gasoline) and not having to deal with trying to find a place to park in an overcrowded parking lot!
