That first Monday after the weekend after Thanksgiving is a very busy time for the Internet. This is due to all of the holiday shoppers who come online looking for a great deal. In recent years, this first Monday after Thanksgiving has become affectionately known as Cyber Monday. If you want to find cheap deals and good bargains online, there is really only one website to go to. Spend your Cyber Monday with Amazon for the best deals on the Net.

I have been using Amazon for years, just because it was convenient and easy to use. I was happy with the prices I was paying for items, but really never knew if they offered the lowest prices online. Once the recession began a couple of years back, money begin to get very tight around my household. I no longer could afford some of the luxuries in life I was use to enjoying. When I had to buy something online, I was not free to just go to Amazon and buy it like the days before the recession. Now was a time where every penny counted and I had to find which online websites had the cheapest prices, plus the cheapest shipping rates. I came online and checked about 5 popular websites I knew sold the item I was looking for. I jotted down their prices and shipping costs and then begin to use the search engines, to see if there were any sites I didn’t know about, offering this item I needed for less. It turns out, I came right back to Amazon to buy the item I needed. Not only did Amazon beat all of the other guys prices, but there was a $7.40 difference, between their price and the 2nd lowest price I found online. This was for a $28 item at Amazon and the next best price was for $35.40. Most of the other websites was selling this item for $39 to $44!

Now I needed to see how low Amazon’s shipping cost was going to set me back. I was able to get a $2.59 shipping and handling fee from Amazon. Only one website was cheaper by .09 cents, but this online shopping site that was charging $2.50 for their shipping, wanted me to pay $44 for the item I needed.  I would much prefer to pay an extra 9 cents for shipping; when my purchased item was $16 cheaper at Amazon!

Now this is only one of my recession stories and using the Amazon shopping website. During the 2 year recession period, I would go on to order about a dozen different things online. All of these was items I had to have for work or needed for my computer or to fix something around the house. Regardless of what it was, the prices at Amazon were cheaper every single time. I never did find one website online; which offered the same product as Amazon for a lower price. I mean never!

Now that the economy has picked up and I don’t have to be quite so tight with money, I still do a very thorough price comparison with all of the popular and not so popular shopping sites online. The folks from Amazon just continue to get my business, because they continue to offer the lowest prices on the Web. Who is looking for some low holiday prices online? A lot of people will come online Monday and go to the Google Search, their Yahoo Search, or use the Bing Search or MSN Search engine to look for Cyber Deals or Cyber Bargains from their computer. This is perfectly fine, as long as you don’t forget to check with Amazon before you buy on the Internet. As the Cyber Monday Shopping Day draws close, please be sure to check with Amazon, before you buy anything online. They have a huge warehouse or warehouses and offer just about anything you want or need to buy online. Not only will Amazon have the item you are looking for, but they will have it at the lowest, bargain basement prices you can find on the World Wide Web. Amazon also offers an attractive Amazon Affliate Program, where online marketers can make a little extra cash on the side. Once your account at Amazon gets over $100, you can have a check mailed to your address or get the Amazon Associates Program to pay your Pay Pal account. If you’re reading this blog post and the 2010 Cyber Monday Day has passed, you can still find the best online deals at Amazon for all of your Christmas gifts and Holiday purchases. Anytime is a good time to shop at Amazon!
