Cyber Monday: Finding Deals From Home, Work

Are you gearing up to let your fingers do the walking on Cyber Monday?

Lower Hudson Valley residents who didn’t want to brave the crowds on Black Friday or Small Business Saturday still have one more big chance to save courtesy of Cyber Monday.

Similar to the two other major shopping events, Cyber Monday differs in that consumers don’t have to leave the comfort of their own homes (or offices) to take advantage of some pretty big pre-holiday deals. All the bargains laid out for Cyber Monday are for online shoppers only.

So how can you find the best deals online this Cyber Monday?

While most major retailers that have an online presence aren’t tipping their hats on their online deals just yet, many have splash pages set up that they're inviting shoppers to bookmark in advance of the Nov. 26 shopping holiday.

Here are just a few stores that are planning Cyber Monday deals:

  • Kohl’s – This retailer hasn’t released its Cyber Monday specials yet, but it has a splash page all set up reminding customers to save the Nov. 26 date.
  • Walmart – This retailer has a splash page set up and always offers online deals. To get a sneak peek at some of its holiday specials, the store invites consumers to check out its Facebook page.
  • Target – This store’s Cyber Monday splash page invites consumer to sign up for an email alert that will tip them off about sales and exclusive offers on Cyber Monday and all year long.
  • Amazon – This online retailer tends to celebrate Cyber Monday in a very big way. Its splash page even features a countdown clock.

Linda T., I would guess Mrs. Brakewood lives in Port Chester if she is running for the Port ChesterRead More Board of Ed. Even if the schools had to impose an austerity budget, your taxes would still go up. The state has more control in these matters than you think.

Linda, the per pupil expenditure in PC schools is the lowest in Westchester and Rockland countiesRead More ... by about $2,000 per student. The issue is two fold. First, our property values are not as strong as our neighbors, so our homes have a higher levy in order to fund the schools. Second, and more important, is that the reliance on property taxes slams moderate income communities like PC. We need for the state to move to an income tax to fund schools. Scream at your legislators ... not the BoE.

I am concerned there is not enough attention to detail in the BOE budget overall and Mrs. BrakewoodRead More comment about keeping taxes affordable ... where does she live ? they are out of control and in my opinion the money we pay for taxes we should have the best looking schools anywhere ... just my opinion

Here's all the information anyone would need to choose the most prepared, competent andRead More knowledgeable candidate. Watch the debate for yourself: http://vimeo.com/65783040

Aidan ... your words are eloquent and true.

Wow, that's a lot of information. Thanks for sharing it.

Hey Willie....Tom Corbia is a retired PC teacher and his wife is a current employee of the schoolRead More district. Got a problem with that?

Concerned View, I am sure if elected Jimmy and the other rocket scientist Tommy will put their headsRead More together and solve all our financial woes. Likely they will figure out how to have an iPad for each student, join the code enforcement guys on overcrowding raids, tie Starwoods negotiating team in knots, and solve global warming. Hey, when most of the retired teachers I know are driving around in Fords, Tommy is cruising around town in a brand new Mercedes Benz, so as a self proclaimed fiscal conservative he must be great at crunching those numbers and stretching a buck!
Concerned View May 9, 2013 at 10:42 am
Suspecting that in the next few years, the school board will be forced to resolve the gap betweenRead More expenses and revenues.

Concerned View, both the village and the schools have rising expenditures. Costs go up every year -Read More is this a surprise!? The village has the ability to cover up its rise in expenditures by jacking up fees for things like parking, permits, and the like. Didn't I just read an article about new parking meter fees and hours village wide? The school district have no choice but to present and explain its rise in expenditures. The taxpayer has to be smart enough to understand that the rise is unavoidable and reasonable given economic circumstances.

Concerned View, you need to sit down with Mr. Carriere and get on the same page on this issue. YouRead More seem to want the district to buoy the fund balance (or go over a cliff!) while Mr. Carriere wants the district to drain it and give it back to the taxpayers. You are confusing readers by being on such opposite pages on this big issue. It certainly makes me glad that neither of you are in charge of the school budget.

MM11, one reasonable explanation might be that there are two teachers in many classrooms. InRead More inclusion classes (mainstreamed special ed classes) there could easily be two or MORE teachers in the classroom, bringing down the student-teacher ratio while the actual number of students in the class remains the same.

In my opinion, Carolee Brakewood is an absolute "must" for the BOT. She is sincere andRead More dedicated to our village and to the education of our children. She deserves a 2nd term.
