Hello my friends and good to see you all. Im sure that we all have heard about the Cyber Monday Deals. I personally didn't ever get in on those kind of deals in the past. So this year I decided to check them out. I went to several different sites and yes there was plenty of good deals. Almost as good as the Black Friday deals. I was also watching the news this morning and they said that there was more sales on Monday than there was on the Black Friday Sales.
Did you get in on the Cyber Monday Sales? Do you feel like that you did save alot of money by doing so?

We got in on the Black Friday deals, but not on the Cyber Monday Deals. Yesterday we did purchase things, just not online. Maybe next year we'll get into that, I just suppose it depends on what we are in need of getting, etc. I think that it's a pretty cool idea to have Cyber Monday deals though.

Hi cowgirl
If you still need things, I think some of the sites are extending their deals for rest of the week. I did find some great deals. My granddaughter wanted some things that was popular last year so the stores didn't have them, but I found them on websites.
Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
Keep smiling.

I think we got everyone bought for, except for one thing we'll have to go somewhere to get! A gift card to a JB's which is right in the next county. We don't NEED anything just WANT things. lol!

Hi gabs
Good to hear from you on the lighter note here. Yeah I did get some good deals on the web that day. As far as the Black Friday I only went about the time that the special savings was going on. I did get my grandson one of those snuggies for $9.99
I just wish I could have found a Yorkie on Cyber Monday...LOL

I did not take advantage of any sales on either day. Am not a shopper and our kids know this so what I do is make certain our kids and grandkids have cash or gift cards. This way their mom's can get what the kids want and the mom's can also approve of any toys, etc. It works well for all of us. Don't know how I got away with not shopping over the years but am one of these people that can go into a store knowing exactly what I want, check out and leave.

That is great carol
I wish that I could do that. It really sounds like the easiest way to do things. Also I wish that I could one of those that can go into a store and get what I need and leave. I can't do that at all...LOL..I go in for a gallon of milk and spend $20 before I get out of there..LOL

Hi cher
It sounds like you have the right ideal by shopping all year for christmas. I know I say every year that I am going to start early too but I never seem to get that done. Im going to say it again and hope that I will keep up with it this coming year. I wish I had mine already done. It would make the holiday easier. Thanks for sharing and have a good day.
Keep smiling.

You are right. You have to know what the prices are of things to see if you are really getting good deals.I did see that some things was higher but in general it was really a good deal.
They have these cyber deals only during the holidays. However I have found some sites that have on going deals thru out the year.
Thanks for responding and have a good day.
Keep smiling.

You are welcome. I was looking around the sites today and found out that some of them are still having some really good sales. Now if I only had the extra money I probably could get my christmas shopping done for the season.
Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
Keep smiling.

Yes, I do feel I saved a lot of money for what I bought. No one could make me get on Black Friday. I actually did have to get groceries that afternoon at Walmart, but the crowd was gone by then. It would pretty obvious they had got cleaned out because the shelves were empty, and employees were trying to restock all the appliances, toys, beauty items...
I got my sister a book for Christmas for half of the original price. I also got a season of one of my favorite comedies for 1/3 of the original price. I wasn't going to get it until I saw it was only $13.00. Usually it's around $36.00. Since I have more than that in my paypal account I figured it wouldn't hurt because I knew I had the money coming.

Hi AmbiePam
Yeah that is a good deal. My youngest son girlfriend got the series of Moonlight for a very good price online yesterday. She went back on there today and they was still having their sale. I know that I also got my grandsons a camcorder for dirt cheap price. I did do good.
Thanks for sharing and have a good evening.
Keep smiling.

i had never heard of this until two days ago but apparently it has been around for awhile. i am sure people can find alot of good deals especially on the shipping and handling charges. it is a great way to save and it is good for saving on stress as well. no standing in crowded stores waiting in line. i like the whole idea of it.

Not to mention that is really cheaper when you think about the gas to get to the store. For me I would have to drive 20 miles to walmart and even farther for some of the other stores. So actually I came out with really good deals on the things that I did purchase.
Keep smiling.

Unfortunately, I did not have any money to get in on the deals. Money has been so tight lately that all my husband and I do is pay bills. We never have enough money to do things that we would like to do. I did not go out black Friday either. I went one year and had sprained my ankel badly. Some woman had pushed me and I tripped. I sprained my ankel and she did not even apologize. After that incident I decided to never go shopping the day after Thanksgiving again. Normally, I do Cyber Monday, but this year I could not afford to.

Im sorry that you didn't get in on the deals. Im not a big fan of doing the Black Friday sale. I usually go toward the end of it and still find some things on sale. I have had more luck with the Cyber Monday sales than anything else.
Thanks for sharing
Keep smiling.
