Black Friday-Cyber Monday

Ok. I know that you are still preparing for Thanksgiving on Thursday but have you thought about the day after? Some of us love this phenomonenal day created by retailers known a "Black Friday." Some of us loathe it. I am a little indifferent. If I really find a good deal and I happen to be in a store......
Still, if you MUST participate in the chaos there are ways to prepare yourself. Did you know that you can visit sites such as tgiblackfriday.com to help plan your shopping attack? This site will let you look at the PDF of sales flyers for major stores for Black Friday. This is helpful because you do not have to waste that precious Thanksgiving Day family time looking through sales ads. The site is up and running now. Also available now is Amazon's Deal of the Day at www.savingsmania.com. This is worth checking out if you chose to get a jump on shopping and do not want to fight the crowds. The Deal of the Day can feature any item you would normally purchase from Amazon such as books, music, DVDs, etc.
Another option if shopping is out of the question is Cyber Monday. This is the day that sees the most shopping traffic online. CyberMonday.com lists participating stores and directions. Many of these deals involve rebates so take this into consideration.
Good luck with your shopping ladies! Watch out for others and stay safe......as you know, this is not the reason for the season. Keep it in perspective.....our little ones will pick up on our stress and are satisfied with much less under that Christmas tree than we think they are!
