Smart Tech Buy

Cyber Monday, ever heard of it?  What is it exactly?  Cyber Monday is the dramatic result of what happens when the hoards of Black Friday opportunists go to their highspeed internet computers at work on the Monday after Thanksgiving.  Since this Monday is one of the most trafficked internet shopping day in the year, the marketing community conveniently deemed the day Cyber Monday in 2005.

While not as well known as Black Friday, there are still great deals to be found, especially for internet only retailers such as Shopzilla.com.  Find the best deals this Cyber Monday for gifts for your friends and family (and yourself) right here:

Here is another large (albeit shrinking) tech retailer that is having a Black Friday sale.  The lines here probably won’t be as long as the ones at Best Buy or Circuit City, but great deals are still to be had!  To see Comp USA’s full adscan from bfads.net, please click here.  Below are some of the great deals that they will be offering that I will be getting this year!

Black Friday is my second favorite “holiday” of the year (right behind Christmas).  I love buying things, and the long lines and crowded stores just adds to the excitement!  It’s like a game as to how little you can spend for as much new gear that you can get.  I can guarantee that I’ll be going to Best Buy this year for Black Friday.  For the complete adscan from bfads.net, please click here (this can take a while to load).  Here are some of the items that I’ll personally be aiming to snatch this Friday:
