Cyber Monday -- A Few Nice Deals, But...

Last year was the first time I heard the term Cyber-Monday, about which I heard after-the-fact. It's the Monday after Black Friday when on-line retailers were trying to do their equivalent of Black Friday and offer exceptional deals on-line to boost sales. Today is Cyber-Monday, and while retailers are offering Cyber one-day specials, it's tough for many to outdo what they did on Black Friday. After all, many retailer on Black Friday also offered their specials on-line that day as well.


I have checked out some sites and whether the deals are any special basically comes down to whether you are looking for the items they placed on special. It's not necessarily anything amazing across-the-board.

Probably the standout I saw so far was Home Depot cutting a price for a 2-person corner whirlpool bath from $1,169 down to $599 including shipping. Here's the Home Depot link.

Walmart is going to be offering special items each day this week. Here's a link to their Cyber Monday specials. If you know someone into action figures like Star Wars or Spiderman, the 4-for-$20 bundle may be of interest.

(Word is that the Leapster LeapFrog TV Learning System will be half-price at $25 on Wednesday of this week.)

Other vendors have specials going on, like Zales, Ace Hardware, Circuit City, Staples and many others, so it's a day to surf (even if it's cold where I'm sitting)...

The PayPal cashback offer at many dealers is also worth noting (see previous post I just updated), and don't forget to see about using eBates and getting even more cash back (see the link in the left column if you're not yet registered for eBates).
