How to Find the Best Cyber Monday Deals. Does shopping from the comfort of your own home
this holiday season appeal to you? Follow this advice to avoid the crowds and long lines
and still get the best deals on the Monday after Thanksgiving, known as Cyber Monday.
You will need E-mail account and list of needed items. Step 1. Visit "CyberMonday.com":http://www.cybermonday.com/
before Cyber Monday. Sign up for e-mail alerts from the site that will include hourly deals
on the Monday after Thanksgiving. Step 2. Network with your favorite retailers on social
media sites. You will get messages with the best deals on Cyber Monday. Step 3. Sign up
to receive e-mails directly from the retailer's site. Be sure to read each e-mail they send
for special savings and shipping offers. Step 4. Let the web comparison shop for you. Visit
bargain and sale sites to compare prices on items from one location. Step 5. Shop through
your bank's website to get a percentage off for using their card. Research beforehand
which retailers are affiliated with these savings. Step 6. Look for cash-back programs
from retailers. You may have to pay the total up front and fill out forms to receive a check
in the mail but the savings will be worth the effort. Step 7. Do your homework before
Cyber Monday; what seems like a good deal might not be. Know what price retailers are
asking for each item on your list and compare your research to the deals on Cyber Monday.
If the item is a steal, jump on it. If not, don't let the rush of Cyber Monday get the
best of you. Did you know In 2009, 87 percent of retailers posted a special promotion for
Cyber Monday, up from 83.7 percent in 2008 and 72.2 percent in 2007.
