Beat the crowds, try Cyber Monday
As a senior we are known for being lazy since it is our last year, and what is better than being lazy and shopping at the same time? This is the best thing about Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday is when stores have sales on their online websites and they usually throw in free shipping in the package. Whenever I order something online, the shipping is usually more than what the item cost, so this is a major benefit.
I personally don’t want to have to stand outside in the freezing cold waiting to get an item when I can sit on my plush couch next to the warm fire looking through websites online. Also, with Cyber Monday, you don’t even have to leave your house; they ship your item right to you. For Black Friday, you have to run, grab and fight off people who also want the same items as you, where Cyber Monday you are safe in your house without any additional bruises.
The only bad thing about Cyber Monday is if you are buying clothes or shoes, you better know your size in those brands your buying from. For me, my shoe size can range from an eight to a 10. It would be frustrating to get your shoes and find out they don’t fit and have to send them back, and then you would have to go through the process all over again. Also, with Cyber Monday and using technology, there are always some glitches or thieves out their looking to steal your money. This is easy for them to do if they are good at hacking computers.
In all, if you like staying at home in the warm, Cyber Monday is perfect for you. If you like standing out in the cold, Black Friday is for you.
