Cyber Monday is Here!

What's better than Black Friday? Cyber Monday! No need to get to the store by midnight Thanksgiving night. No bumping into people in crowded isles, and no need to go to the store to find that they only stocked 3 pieces of that one item you wanted at the great advertised price. Now you can do all that online! Okay, you can't bump elbows with perfect strangers, and it beats the hell out of driving across town to struggle to find a parking space, before finding out Best Buy is out of that one item and won't take rain checks.

Overall, I'm not very impressed with this year's Cyber-Monday. Not the big deals I thought we'd see. Mostly, you'll find free shipping or 10% off electronics. Really? That's all they've got?
Here's a couple samples of the deals:

Circuit City: Cyber-Monday 3 day sale. Take an additional 10% off for shopping online! sounds like a great deal! Not so quick. save 10% on purchases of $249 or more, and only on instore pickups. Sale ends Tuesday. Enter coupon code PVAB4Q7AAT during checkout. I always tell shoppers, stay away from Circuit City. High prices, difficulties with rebates, and some of the worse customer service you could imagine. But, if you have to go there, beware, stay on your toes, stay away from their Firedog people and double check your rebates.

NEWEGG.COM: If you're not familiar with NewEgg, get familiar. Great deals throughout the year, but now has some great deals on electronics and computers for Cyber-Monday. Got a Paypal Card? Get an addition 20% off/Cash Back with the PAYPAL HOLIDAY CASH BACK PROMOTION (Terms).

STAPLES: Free shipping on all purchases today. 50% off all Edge products.
