Staying in today to avoid the crazy masses? I’m with you! My husband is working today and I’m not about to take a 3 year old, a 2 year old and 2 month old out into the cold to brave the stores for a good sale. I’ll stay in my pajamas and shop from my couch on Cyber Monday instead! If that’s your plan too, you’ll want to follow these steps to make sure you are getting the biggest bang for your buck.
