For those of you who lucked out on Black Friday, you still have a chance today with Cyber Monday.
Also, for those of you who rather spent the day at home instead of braving the wild crowds last Friday, you're in for luck because you can sstill snatch a great deal or two, even while sitting at home and in front of the computer.
As reported by USA Today, as retailers seamlessly transitioned Black Friday deals to Cyber Monday deals as early as last Saturday, many of them are looking to capitalize on the hundred millions of shoppers who said that they plan to shop online from Thursday through Sunday.
Over the recent years, more and more consumers are opting to shop online rather than physically go to the store to grab bargain deals. And although the number of in-store shoppers are still huge, the data from National Retail Federation shows that the numbers are an encouraging sign for online retailers.
According to Traci Gregorski, vice president of MarketTrack, "The shift to online is not something that anyone can discount at this point, it's part of the reality of retail."
She also said, she expects more people will be back in stores in December, when crowds are less daunting than during Black Friday weekend.
And as noted by WalesOnline, there's now a lot of deals that can be found on the Internet on the busiest online shopping holiday of the year.
If you're looking for a quality TV, Yahoo! Tech reported that in Amazon.com, LG Electronics has a 60-inch 1080p LED TV for less than $700.
Another deal worth checking out in Amazon is the Lenovo 2-in-1 Laptop that is powered by an Intel processor. In addition to that, Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is also on sale for only $599.
But actually, smartphones are all the rage now and you're in luck because plenty of them are on sale on various retailers online.
However, SkyNews cautioned that shoppers must be vigilant and avoid scams. According to cyber security expert Dave Whitelegg, lots of breach of security on credit and debit cards happen during this online shopping holiday of the year.
He also warned that, "People scouting around for cheap deals may end up on scam websites. It's best to stick to reputable, well-known companies. If the price seems too good to be true, it usually is."
Apart from online scams, shoppers are also advised check when putting items on your "virtual shopping cart" when buying online, due to the sheer number of traffic Cyber Monday brings to websites that might double the quantity of items.
Consumers are also encouraged to report website bugs to retailers.
