Surviving Black Friday

Amazon.com's Cyber Deal Week has ended, but despite that, rest assured holiday buyers, that won't be the end of endless bargains at the Internet giant. In fact, it seems that very little will change, as Amazon.com will transition the page, keeping the same sorts of deals through the rest of the shopping season.



While some of the GoPro Hero cyber monday sales have limited quantities, there are typically so many excellent deals to choose from that many items last through Sunday, when another batch of Cyber Monday deals replace them.

At Best Buy, you can save $100 off an Acer laptop with 4 GB of memory or an HP Pavilion desk top. In addition, friday sales include 15% off appliances, 5-33% off digital cameras, and more.

#3: Make lists for each store as soon as you know what items you want to purchase. This way, you won't head into the crowds without knowing what you originally wanted to get. Know the store well? Map it out if you have to, so you can go directly to the area where you want to shop.

Cyber Monday can be a successful shopping trip. There are no crowds. No heavy Houston traffic. You can shop in your PJ's. You can save a great deal of money. No children to "help" ad no covert operations needed to get the gifts you bought for them out the door.
