4 Ways to Maximize Cyber Monday Savings

Posted by Tia — No Comments

Hey guys! Today we have a guest post from a good friend and sorority sister of mine, Brandee. Brandee is going to talk to us about how to maximize Cyber Monday Savings. As you know, I am an avid believer that spending money you don’t have is never good which is why I wrote about 3 reasons you should skip Black Friday shopping. However, if you included Black Friday or Cyber Monday shopping in your budget, go for it! And by go for it, I want you to maximize your saving as much as possible.

As an avid bargain shopper whose middle names might just be Clearance-Sale, I look forward to the post-Thanksgiving Day sales. The question for me is not if I will shop over the Thanksgiving weekend but rather WHEN, WHERE AND HOW? As the years have gone by, my zeal for waiting in long crazy lines and fighting the crowds on Black Friday has faded. The creation of Cyber Monday was like a superhero swooping in to save the day. With that said, I have moved my preferred method of shopping and saving to an online platform where I can not only receive Cyber Monday flash deals but also with the help of earn CASHBACK at the same time. This allows me to maximize my savings and turn my spending into earning.

While your friends and family are checking out the Black Friday deals, I encourage you to skip Black Friday shopping this year. Here are 3 reasons you should skip Black Friday shopping:
