It's CYBER MONDAY!!!

The ultimate mom-friendly shopping holiday is upon us and you're not going to want to miss this one if you're interested in saving money on holiday items this year! There are more deals out there than I could ever have time to write out, but I'll give you a few of my favorites and "must-know" things. First of all, Ebates has double cash back on over 400 stores. If you're going to be doing shopping online today you are going to want to go through Ebates. You will thank me later. Trust me.

The Restaurant.com certificates are 80% off again today with promo code DEAL and 30% cash back on Ebates today! If you're interested in eating out on the cheap this season, giving awesome restaurant gift cards for next to nothing or trying a new place without much investment you're gonna want to snatch up these deals.

Also, I know many of you have little girls. I got an email from American Girl saying that they have a bunch of stuff for 50% off. My little lady is getting a Bitty Baby this year for Christmas, so I was pretty excited about this one. If you have a girl who would be interested in American Girl for Christmas, you might want to check this one out.

If you're interested in giving back while you shop, you might check out these deals. The Limited has 40% off, free shipping and will donate 3.5% to the American Cancer Society. Shop through Ebates and get 5% cash back. Carters will have 50% off and free shipping with promo code CHEER and will donate 2.5% to ACS.

Groupon always has some great deals, but now there are even more for the holidays. This is a great way to get expensive gifts without the expensive price tag. And now you can get an even better deal if you shop through Ebates and get 6% cash back. Today's St. Louis Groupon is $45 for $145 worth of salon services at Salon Bella in Chesterfield, so if you'd like a little pampering before the holidays, this might be a good opportunity. Also if you're looking for gifts, you can get an unlimited membership for 2011 to Sugar Creek Golf Course for $69- a $1500 value. You can also spend $20 for $40 worth of books at Simon & Schuster.

If you have kids on your shopping list, Leap Frog has up to 65% off and free shipping on orders over $50. Once again, shop through Ebates and get 6% cash back.

If you've got work to do around the house you might check out Home Depot. They have a One Day Sale today on tons of items and free shipping. 6% cash back on Ebates.

Pottery Barn Kids has free shipping and free personalization. Not a huge amount of deals, but this is where we get our stockings, so that was exciting for me since we needed a new stocking this year for sweet Kaesen. :)

Mattel has up to 75% off at their store and free shipping on every order. 4% cash back on Ebates.

Amazon, of course, has amazing deals today including $200 off on the Kitchenaid Professional Stand Mixer and $229.99 for the Martha Stewart Edition Cricut Cake regular $399.99. If you're in the market for a big ticket item, I would check Amazon.

For those of you who are photo lovers (is any mom not a photo lover?) SnapFish has 30% off and free shipping on any order. Use code SHIPNSAVE. 13% cash back on Ebates.

Barnes and Noble (one of my favs, hint hint. hehe) has free shipping on any order using code B3X4N4N. They also have New York Bestsellers buy one get one half off, $5 off toys and games $10 or more, 40% off children's picture books, up to 80% off DVD and Blu-ray, and buy one get one half off in their home and gift department. Shop Ebates to get 8% cash back.

So those are a few deals to get you started. Of course all the department stores and chain stores will be having deals today. Just check for coupon codes and shop through Ebates if you can to get the best deals possible. I'll try to post more this afternoon, but I need to get my rear to the grocery store before it rains. :) Happy warm-comfy-sit-by-the-fire-in-your-jammies-watching-a movie-with-the-kiddos Shopping!
