5 Tips For A Safe Cyber Monday

If Black Friday doesn't satisfy you, there is always Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday is the first Monday after Thanksgiving. How do you have a safe Cyber Monday? Here are five tips to help make this upcoming Monday worth it.

1. Prepare Sunday Night

Doing research before you shop online is very beneficial. Make a list of everything you would like on Google Docs or Microsoft, or even bookmark pages.

2. Pay Attention to Extra Costs

Before you click buy on Monday, make sure you know final cost. Sometimes what you see, isn't really what you receive. Just because its attractive, doesn't mean it's worth it.

3. Save as You Go

Being a fast shopper on Cyber Monday is key. When you find an item that you want, add it and compare prices from other stores. It is all about getting the cheapest items, so don't spend more than you need to.

4. Compare Prices

Just like #3, compare prices. Make sure you have many tabs up if some stores sell the same items. If you find the same shirt on two different stores... Which one would you rather have? The $14 one or the $25 one?

5. Safety First

Cyber Monday is all about safety. The item you want might be cheap, but make sure the website is trustworthy. Every site you are not familiar with get on and check reviews and comments from other customers.

You can make Cyber Monday either frustrating or worth it. With tips like these, make your online shopping one to never forget.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
