(MoneyWatch) Why fight the mall crowds when you can online shop from the convenience of your home (or work, as it is)? Throw in free shipping and it’s kind of a no-brainer. In fact, a growing number of shoppers plan to purchase their holiday gifts online this year, with many starting on Monday, November 29, aka “Cyber Monday,” the online equivalent of Black Friday. A new survey by Shop.org estimates about six in ten workers with web access (or 76 million people) will shop for gifts from the office on Monday.
If that includes you, here’s a cheat sheet of web-exclusive deals this Cyber Monday.
