Cyber Monday: Finding Deals From Your Riverhead Home

Are you letting your fingers do the walking on Cyber Monday?

Riverhead residents who didn’t want to brave the crowds on Black Friday or Small Business Saturday still have one more big chance to shop,  courtesy of Cyber Monday.

Similar to the two other major shopping events, Cyber Monday differs in that consumers don’t have to leave the comfort of their own homes (or offices) to take advantage of shopping online.

To shop locally, for example, sign in to Etsy.com, scroll down, and click "Shop Local." You can search for your home town, and will find a list of merchants in your area. For example:

Many bargains are laid out for Cyber Monday for online shoppers only. So how can you find the best deals online this Cyber Monday?

While most major retailers that have an online presence aren’t tipping their hats on their online deals just yet, many have splash pages set up that they're inviting shoppers to bookmark in advance of the Nov. 26 shopping holiday.
