It's time to get your shop on, and rise of online shopping and Cyber Monday has given deal-hungry consumers some options.
With Thanksgiving occurring on the earliest possible day this year, the official holiday shopping season is as long as it can be. For years, the Friday following Thanksgiving — Black Friday — was the unquestioned king of that season. But the furious growth of the Internet has spawned Cyber Monday, an online shopping frenzy that grew 22 percent from 2010 to $1.25 billion in sales in the United States. It still pales in comparison to Black Friday, which last year generated $52.4 billion in sales, up from $45 billion in 2010. Many shoppers enjoy the early rising, elbow-to-elbow aisles and energy of in-person shopping on Black Friday, and the game-planning that goes with it. Others would prefer to sit in their home or office and cross off gift…

While holidays are well-known for the accompanying holiday discounts, it may be surprising just how much you can save on Labor Day.
While its well-known that holidays are a good time to hit up sales and other shopping deals, it seems that Labor Day weekend doesn't get as a good of a reputation as it deserves. The holiday weekend actually has an average discount of 48 percent off on clothing, according to day on Shopittome.com, which beats out the more-famous Black Friday with an average discount rate of 41 to 42 percent. These numbers are based on tracking of last year's data. Check out dealspl.us for a list of major name brand stores and Labor Day discounts, or read below for some local sales: Looking for something to do this 3-day weekend?
