Forget about Black Friday, I’m all about Cyber Monday! I’d rather skip the long lines, the early morning lines and the crabby, grabby crowds. Nope, not for me. I’m more of a shopping in my sweats, brawless, with a massive mug of coffee kinda girl. Now that’s for me! For those living under a rock, Cyber Monday is the online equivalent of Black Friday the Monday following Thanksgiving. It’s the bees knees y’all which is why I’m sharing some of my tips to tackling the online sales efficiently and effectively!

Subscribe NOW – Even before Cyber Monday arrives, make sure you have subscribed to all of your favorite stores’ email distribution lists. Gap, Old Navy, Macy’s, Target? Do it now! Stores typically send out their email subscribers exclusive deals and coupon codes which equates to into better deals for you!

Make a List, Check it Twice – Put together a list of those you’ll be shopping for and if you’ve already got an idea of what you’ll be gifting them jot that down too! It is super easy to get carried away during the rush of a good deal, by referring to the list you can stay within your budget and not over-buy for a particular person.

Discount Double Check – Even if you’ve subscribed to store newsletters make sure to do a quick Google search for any additional discount codes before hitting the trigger. Shop smart, friends!

Get Paid – Open a new tab now and head to Ebates.com! It’s free, it’s easy and you essentially receive a percentage of your purchases back by shopping through their links. Seriously, no brainer!
