For those of you who missed those Black Friday deals, never fear-Cyber Monday is here!

Cyber Monday is all about great deals online rather than in store. So, you can stay in your jammies and shop all day long!

To ensure that you have a sucessful Cyber Monday experience, here are  The Queen’s Top 5 Cyber Monday Tips:

1. Free Shipping: Stick to sites that offer free shipping. Don’t pay more in shipping than the item is actually worth.

2. Research Quality: Be sure you know if the item you are buying (think electronics) is actually a good quality item. Sometimes retailers will sell an item of lower quality on Black Friday or Cyber Monday so they can charge a lower price.

3. Research Prices: Don’t fall victim to smart marketing. Be sure you know the prices of your items on a normal sale day so you can actually discern if it’s a good deal or not.

4. Use Coupon Codes: Perhaps one of the biggest benefits to Cyber Monday is the ability to pair it up with amazing coupon codes. Check out retailmenot.com and gottadeal.com for coupon codes/promo codes that can be applied to your order before you checkout.

5. Use Rewards sites: Shop through sites such as ebates.com and/or mypoints.com. Use Ebates to make money back on each purchase and use sites such as mypoints.com to earn points for prizes such as gift cards.

By shopping smart you can maximize your savings on Cyber Monday or any day! Be sure to follow me on Twitter, I’ll be tweeting new deals all day long!
