Enough already about Black Friday. Those of you smart enough to stay away from stampeding crowds and wackos who spend the night huddled on the sidewalk outside the local Big Box store, your day is here! Almost.

Cyber Monday, the day that traditionally sees a surge in online shopping, is just around the corner. Just like the deals at bricks-and-mortar stores on Friday, the Cyber Monday deals also get leaked. One good place to start is -- you guessed it -- CyberMonday.com. It has links to dozens of online deals. You should be able to find free shopping from most of the merchants.

Thank the folks at Shop.org for this site.

Another site to spot deals is GottaDeal.com.

Happy shopping!
