Unlock secret insider shopping tips
Happy Cyber Monday! Black Friday was an absolutely scary time--despite our nation's economic woes, we spent 3 percent more than last year, which (unofficially) means we waited in line 3 percent longer than last year. Except for me, because I shop online pretty much exclusively! With sites like SmartBargains.com, RueLaLa.com and RedTagCrazy.com, you can find the perfect gift for everyone, from your mate to your mom. And we have some tips to get you started!
THE ONLINE SAMPLE SALES
Take advantage of members-only sample sale Web sites, such as RueLaLa.com, for current-season merchandise from premium and luxury brands at up to 80-percent off retail prices. By being a member of Rue La La, you can take advantage of discounted boutique shopping at the likes of Cole Haan, Vera Bradley and Tommy Bahama.
COVETED SHOPPING DAYS
Today is the day when you are sure to find the best discounts of the season both in-store and online. Best thing about online? You don't have to find parking, use gas... or even get dressed!
COMPARISON SHOP AT BRICK-AND-MORTAR STORES
Check out stores, such as TJ Maxx and Loehmann's, where designer duds are increasingly inexpensive and plentiful. Keep those costs and products in mind when doing your price comparisons online.
SHIPPING SAVIOR SITES
Research the shipping policies of your favorite sites and save with every purchase you make. Web sites such as eLUXURY.com are adding to the perks of online shopping by offering free shipping just in time for the holidays, when every penny counts.
RETURN POLICY WOES
Be kind to those on your shopping list and seek retailers with a hassle-free return policy, such as Piperlime.com and RueLaLa.com, which provide pre-paid return labels and an extended time period for returns.

I LOVE the new redtagcrazy site! Can't wait to see what comes up next :) this will get me hooked.
This web site will help you get the best prices on all of your purchases this holiday season
http://www.zingsale.com
It's a free service that tracks prices of products from online stores (like amazon) and sends you an email when the price drops. You can set a target price or be notified when it falls by a certain percentage. Might be a nice way to make sure you're getting the best deals this holiday season.
