84 Percent of Online Retailers to Offer Deals for Cyber Monday

November 30, 2008 12:58 AM UTC

Cyber Monday (the traditional Monday after Thanksgiving) has taken off in a big way. More online retailers than ever before are hoping to cash in this coming Monday, according to PC World.

How to get the best deals online? Do your homework. The magazine suggests looking to deal aggregator sites, that is, those who compare across stores for the same item and those who promote news on special deals. Places like GottaDeal.com can provide previews of Cyber Monday specials.

Here are some deal aggregator sites worth exploring:

XPbargains.com (http://www.xpbargains.com/)
Black Friday 2008 (http://bfads.net/)
Ben's Bargains (http://bensbargains.net/)
Dealnews (http://dealnews.com/)
FreshBargains (http://www.freshbargains.net/)
Techdeals.net (http://www.techdeals.net/)
Techbargains (http://techbargains.com/)
Dealsontheweb.com (http://www.dealsontheweb.com/)
Dealmac.com (http://dealmac.com/)

Among stores known to have active promotions for Monday are the following: NewEgg.com, BestBuy.com (which is running a two day sale beginning Sunday), Overstock.com, Dell.com, and those traditional brick and mortar stores who have an online presence and don't want to miss out, like Target.com, Kmart.com, and Staples.com.

Finally, make sure that you really are getting the bargin you deserve: 25 percent off a price that has been marked up ahead of time is no bargain. Explore return policies, and look for free shipping deals.

Get online and shop, but be sure you're really getting the bargain you deserve

I've got a few things I'm looking for, but if the prices aren't all that great, I'll just wait for the after Christmas sales. I'm trying to stock up on stuff while it's at great prices since I am currently building a house. I don't need stuff like extra bedding immediately, so I can wait until it's incredibly cheap.

Cyber Monday is always fun, and so much more comfortable. I plan on buying a new monitor tomorrow because I didn't get the one I wanted on newegg yesterday.

Thanks Christine! I've seen a lot of Friday lists, but not very many Monday lists. I'll have to check these out later today and plan my online shopping. Don't worry...I'll do it at home! I hope you have a good weekend!

I just finished looking at all the ads for the 'big' stores and I'm not impressed. They'll have to do a lot better to get me to purchase something that I don't really need. Every day since Thursday, I've gotten at least 10 different retailers sending me e-mail in an attempt to lure me in. I'll wait till they're a bit more desperate.

thanks for sharing this with us. my boyfriends brother was telling us about all the good deals that are going to be going on for monday, definately worth checking out.

Brittney R. Nov 30, 2008, 10:57am UTC

Yes, I would definitely look for free shipping, or site-to-store pickup if your purchasing from a regular store. By the time you pay taxes and shipping it's not always that great of a deal.

I'd like to invite you to check out a great website that I know about called Etsy Etsy is an online marketplace for buying and selling all things handmade. You'll find a creative community of independent artists and designers and the very best in handmade goods, craft supplies and vintage. It's an excellent place to find one of a kind items, to give as gifts - or as gifts for yourself! Since you're buying directly from artists on Etsy, you have the special opportunity to form personal connections with the people who create your treasures.

Signing up is free and easy! Just click here:

So far today, I've shopped online at Target, Best Buy and Walmart. The best part is I paid for everything with gift cards earned online! Yeah!

This list has made things very convenient. Thanks!
