In case you chose to sleep in Friday morning or just missed out on all the shopping fun, Cyber Monday will allow you to shop in the comfort of your own home, in the comfort of your pajamas, to score holiday gifts.

The Monday after Thanksgiving is now a day where online retailers offer deep discounts and promotions.  So, of course, there are plenty of web sites that do the leg-work for you to find the best deals.

Virtually every store offers online shopping discounts on Cyber Monday. So, CyberMonday.com lists the discount percentage of each retailer so you can see, at a glance, which sites are worth visiting.

When using coupon codes to shop, it’s good to do your homework by researching the codes, seeing what deals are offered, before you chart your shopping course.  So, note down the codes from RetailMeNot.com and use them when you purchase online.  Plus, if you know a coupon code that isn’t listed, you can share with other users.

And remember, when shopping online, always be cautious.  Here are tips to shopping safely online:

  • Make sure the website is legitimate. 
  • Always guard your online password.
  • Don't provide a store your social security number.
  • Pay by credit or charge card. 
  • Print and save records of your purchases.
