I’m sure we’re all familiar with Black Friday – the day after Thanksgiving when you wake up at 4am {if you went to sleep at all the night before} to be included in the thousands of consumers that flock to retail stores in hopes of snatching up a few *HOT* Christmas items at discount prices. I, myself, have been included in this group since, after all, having a child these days is UBER expensive!
But what exactly is “Cyber Monday”? Cyber Monday is the Monday following Black Friday when online retailers take advantage of consumer shopping sprees. They call it “Cyber” because the hot deals usually can’t be found in stores – they’re for online consumers only!
One of my favorite sites that celebrates Cyber Monday is Amazon. They’re such big competitors of Walmart, that they take advantage of not having store-front expenses and drop their prices to rock bottom!
Now that you know a little more about it, will you be shopping on this day? As with Black Friday, there are often “leaks” to what will be on sale on Cyber Monday, so you can usually see what you would benefit from NOT buying Black Friday. Since we’re on such a tight budget, I will be taking advantage of sales on both days, but this will be the first year I have actually shopped on Cyber Monday. If you’ve bought products on this day, were they much cheaper than Black Friday’s prices? How long did it take you to receive them? I’m sure shipping was delayed due to the large quantity of people ordering on the same day?














I had my first experience with Del Taco when the boys and I came out to California on vacation before moving here. I think the weirdest thing for me was the fact that they sold tacos with fries!! I grew up on the east coast. NEVER had I heard of a restaurant that sold tacos, burgers, and fries, and nachos all on the same menu! It really did take some adjusting, but now I can’t imagine not having that as an option.
Well, today only {August 10, 2011}, Del Taco is celebrating their customers with a Customer Appreciation Event! Between 3PM and 8PM, Del Taco restaurants will be having all regular tacos priced at just $0.29/each!! There ARE a couple restaurants not offering this, so check
