Cyber Monday Shopping Tips

11/27/2011 By Charlene 60 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.

I just wanted to post a quick note about Cyber Monday. If you are not aware, this Monday (11/28) is considered “Cyber Monday” and it is supposed to be the online version of Black Friday.

We should see a lot of good online deals popping up for all sorts of products. There should be coupon codes, free shipping promotions etc…

The deals are for sure starting early- I already have a list a mile long of things to post today. You might want to check in with me as often as you can for the next 48 hours because many of these deals will sell out quickly.

I find this to be a perfect time to get a lot of shopping done because you won’t have to be as concerned with shipping times. Most retailers will be able to get your item shipped quickly so you will have it well in advance of Christmas. Conversely, we see some occasions when shipments are lost, orders are cancelled or deliveries are delayed which can be very stressful right before Christmas. So at least by ordering now you will have a little extra time should anything go wrong with your order.

I know I have mentioned this before, but just a reminder that there are A LOT of people shopping online this year. ย I know one company had more than 25x the traffic they expected on a recent promotion I posted. ย So it is always best to place your orders quickly as they can go out of stock at any moment.

Please feel free to leave a comment below and let me know specifically what you are looking for this year so I can keep an eye out!

    Can’t wait for all of the online deals! I don’t do well with crowds and have never been able to get out on Black Friday so I REALLY appreciate everything you do to find online bargains!! I missed the Just Dance 3 for Wii deals so I’m hoping to see that pop back up. Thanks so much, Charlene – for everything!!

    Happy holidays Charlene. I am looking for the Lego Star Wars Advent Calendars. I want to purchase two of them. My price point is $30/each (or close to that). I know Walmart has the 2/$60 bundle but you can’t add two of the same to your bundle. Thanks for looking!

  7. Charlene says

    11/27/2011 at 1:19 PM

    Heather- it is starting early. I have a feeling the best deals will actually be today and tonight. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Charlene, thanks for all the amazing deals you post and $s youve saved us! I’ll definately be checking back a lot. Im shopping for a lap top, been a PC girl too, but was considering making a switch, so I was super excited to see the mac deal you posted…I’m also always on the look out for a deal on a (64Gb 3g wifi) iPad, but every time I google deals I end up on bidding/auction sites! Anyways I’ll be checking back in! Thanks again!

    I’m so excited to see all the good deals! I’ve never been excited about cyber Monday before, but now I am! Please help me find a great deal on a television set. I bought one on black Friday (32″ Samsung for $278) but my friend got one online Friday for $199. I need to beat her price :). I need 32″ or bigger I don’t care the brand. Thanks Charlene

    Harry Potter Legos. I know TRU did the B1G1 50% off, but that was still more than our budget would allow for. Is that as good as it gets? I couldn’t believe how expensive some sets were, our oldest son is 8 and this is the first year I/we have looked at large, character/movie style sets.

    Do you think there will be anymore PS3 $199.99 bundles popping up on Amazon/NewEgg/Radio Shack/Best Buy/Game Stop? I sat in my chair like a fool on Thursday and stared at PS3 bundles on NewEgg and didn’t think it was legit. I’m willing to stay up late and keep refreshing pages to get the $199.99 deal.

    I am looking for a deal on the Imaginext Batman Cave. I bought one for my son 2 years ago but now they have a new version that my 5 year old son says “is the REAL one.”
    Also, I am hoping the Disney Store comes out with a free shipping code tomorrow so I can get my 3 year old the Mickey Pirate Ship. I am using the $20 gift card that I recieved from my disney movie rewards.
    Thanks for all you do!
