As consumers, we are all trying to make do and get as much as possible for each dollar spent. Lately my family and I have been doing more research before buying anything, and have also done more online shopping and looked harder for better deals. We have not stopped spending, however.

One of the online sites we have found to be useful is: http://www.uberi.com

They do have some interesting bargains listed that are not available even on price search engines. We were able to get more for each dollar. Hope that's useful info for some.

I bought alot this year on Black Friday as well as Cyber Monday. A nice website I used for my larger purchases was Newegg.com which had some amazing deals on large LCD tvs.

unfortunately, the success of black Friday and cyber monday may spell doom for retailers this holiday season.
the week before black Friday i told my stores that this black friday is going to be a very busy one, more then usual. how did i know this? because for the first time in my life i woke up at 5 to get the best deals.
people are hurting and needed to do all of their shopping when the best deals are happening. since black Friday sales have been dismal and it doesn't seem to be getting better i fear many jobs and companies will be cut after these holiday numbers get ran.

No Cyber Monday for me! I waited until Cyber Tuesday. (grin)

I didn't want to buy anything big this year, but my 2002 computer just wasn't functional any more.

Buying stuff online is the best and it beats the hassle of getting out of my bed, getting dressed, and getting in the car. I went to wadewire.com and got two free lg vus.
