What
is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is a marketing term for the Monday after
Black Friday, the Friday following Thanksgiving in the United States, created
by companies to persuade people to shop online. The term made its debut on
November 28, 2005 in a Shop.org press release entitled "'Cyber Monday'
Quickly Becoming One of the Biggest Online Shopping Days of the Year." (Source:

Sitting here at my desk on Sunday evening, Sunday Night
Football on the TV, trying to find the best deal on a few items for the Christmas
– and Sears website is not working properly (sad face). One of my pet peeves is companies failing to
do their due diligence in preparing for big events. Home Depot has the two items I’m looking for
and can deliver and install them next week – where as Sears will that at least
34 days – and is more expensive.

One word of caution as there are some rotten eggs out
there trying to steal your identity and money – shop at known companies.

Good luck and hope you find lots of good deals!
