Forget Black Friday, It's Cyber Monday

Don’t stop now, the spending spree has just begun!

Black Friday is the day when Americans go on the hunt for bargains at brick and mortar retailers around the country. While some people make a point of ignoring Black Friday shopping because the whole experience tends to be pretty traumatizing, a lot of people like to hold off simply because they're waiting for Cyber Monday.

A relatively new tradition when you consider how long we've been "celebrating" Black Friday, Cyber Monday falls on the Monday after Black Friday. Typically, everyone slouches into work after a long weekend, bummed out because they have to shake off the turkey-induced coma and get back to work. Taking advantage of the fact that there are thousands of people sitting at their desks and not exactly falling over themselves to fulfill their daily duties, many etailers organize Cyber Monday deals.

Obviously these deals are only available online and usually just for the duration of Monday. However some businesses (Best Buy for example) are milkin' it for all it's worth and have stretched Cyber Monday over an entire week.
