As if Black Friday wasn’t enough for you deal-seekers, you also have Cyber Monday to cash in on great savings.

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.

You can search Cyber-Monday.org for Monday ads, codes, coupons and promotional deals, too. 

Dealnews.com offers you a preview of Cyber Monday prices on everything from elliptical machines to comforters.

For a truly, extensive list of coupon codes, sales and online discounts, check out AllDiscountCouponCodes.com.

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.

Techy gifts are always a hit for the holidays.  Search TechBargains.com for sales and promotions on cameras, GPS devices and more.

But, are you looking for the best of the best deals?  CouponAlbum.com lists online coupons and handpicked deals of the day, showcasing particularly good online discounts on specific items. 

From art and posters to travel and luggage, DealWorker.com lists every sale imaginable and all of the information you need to take advantage!

Some of those Black Friday web sites will continue to advertise Cyber Monday deals, as well.  So, just take a little time to click around and you’re bound to find mega savings.

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.
