Well, we’ve gotten through Black Friday (which began on Thursday at many stores) and now we’re on the cusp of Cyber Monday. The online equivalent to Black Friday started in 2005 as retailers saw the amount of shopping being done the Monday after Thanksgiving. Six years later, it’s going strong and some deals actually rival those offered just two days ago.

Check out Shop.org and CyberMonday.com for deals or visit individual retailer sites, especially amazon.com for special offers that often include free shipping, percentage-off deals or buy-one, get-one free promotions.

According to Shop.org’s eHoliday Survey, conducted by BIGresearch, 78.4 percent of those companyies surveyed will have special promotions on Cyber Monday.

Online retailers often look to useCyberMonday.com and starting tonight at midnight more than 800 companies have banded together to promote specials on the site, including some that are offering Deals of the Hour.

So if you didn’t get to wait in long lines at brick and mortar stores on Thursday or Friday (or Saturday or Sunday for that matter), log on to your favorite retailer’s website Monday to try to grab a great deal.

If you’re looking for a cute, unique gift, visit Rite Aid and get an ornament, mouse pad, magnet or mug with your photo on them. Buy-one, get-one free when you use your Wellness + Rewards card. And if you buy $25 worth of those photo gifts, you’ll also get a $5 Up Reward.

Also at Rite Aid is a great offer that combines a sale price, an Up Reward and a rebate.

Buy the Simply Saline Neti Pot Kit for $9.99 and you’ll get a $4 Up Reward, which is a coupon on your receipt you can use toward your next store purchase. Then fill out this rebate form: www.armandhammer.com/PDF/NetiPotKit_RebateInfo.pdf and you’ll get the $9.99 back.

CVS has Complete multi-purpose contact lens solution for $8.99 and when you use your Extra Care Card, you’ll get $8.99 back in Extra Bucks, which, like Up Rewards, are printed on your receipt and can be used for a future store purchase.

If you’re heading to the liquor store anyway this week, here’s a nice way to get a free four-bottle wine rack. Go to www.finewineandgoodspirits.com and have a bottle ordered and delivered to your local wine and spirits shop. If you are one of the first 450 people to do so Monday, you will also get the free wine rack. So place those orders at 12:01 a.m.
