Have you ever watched that scene from “Confessions of a Shopaholic” when Rebecca Bloomwood is physically fighting over a discounted pair of Gucci boots with a stranger? Don’t let yourself become Rebecca Bloomwood on Black Friday. Your fiery passion for pretty things can be put to better use on Cyber Monday.
Cyber Monday is basically Black Friday’s young, hip cousin who drinks green smoothies and works at Anthropologie: so carefree and easy. Snagging deals online is so much easier than driving from store to store to find nothing but a huge crowd and one decent sweater. Forget that! I would much rather shop in the comfort of my bed, Starbucks in hand.
Shopping on Black Friday is downright scary these days. There is
a definite possibility of being found on the floor at the hands of a Walmart stampede. Your biggest fear during Cyber Monday shopping is the Wi-
Fi crashing (so you should probably avoid Marian).
The best Cyber Monday discount is 90 percent less stress! As I said, shopping in bed with Starbucks in hand is almost therapeutic. Maybe a certain online store won’t have your exact size, but at least you won’t have to worry about shoppers who will stop at nothing to snag a few deals.
During Cyber Monday, you have everything you could possibly want
at the click of your mouse. Your search engine is now your best friend. Want an Apple Watch? Fine! Need a fun holiday outfit? Go for it! A new puppy? The world is your oyster, my friend. Try not to go mad with power.
Maybe you found yourself outside of Best Buy at 4 a.m. during Black Friday this year. Hopefully, you were sound asleep in bed after a mildly awkward evening with your relatives, dreaming of the deals you surely scored on Cyber Monday. If you did wait outside of Best Buy at 4 a.m. during Black Friday this year, though, I really hope you beat the other shoppers to the big TVs.
