I’m sure you’ve heard about Black Friday – the largest retail shopping day of the year in the States, on the Friday following Thanksgiving Thursday. But did you know about Cyber Monday? It’s the Monday following the Thanksgiving weekend, and there are many deals to be had online. Cyber Monday is mostly an American thing, but many American online retailers will ship to Canada, so we can enjoy the deals too.
Apparently Cyber Monday is catching on – according to the Huffington Post, “Cyber Monday was the second highest spending day of 2009, with buyers charging nearly $890 million during the special shopping event.”
So, you ask, where are the deals? I’ve seen a few good ones this morning:
Amazon.ca (yep, the Canadian dot ca website, not just the American dot com) has deals across their entire site – books, DVDs, electronics… check it out.
Moo.com: Buy a pack of Holiday cards, and then receive 25% off your entire order (including the Holiday cards and anything else you want, like business cards, postcards, stickers, etc).
TigerDirect.com has some insane deals on laptops, external memory, and other electronic goodies, including $60 off an 8gig Flip Video Camera.

Good luck and happy shopping!
