Simple things are worth blogging about
25 Nov
I’m sure shoppers are making out their game plans for Friday now, as I write up this blog post. The Friday after Thanksgiving Day is the busiest shopping day of the year. Then after this weekend, the Cyber Monday Online Shopping begins to get busy. On Cyber Monday, is the day there is more people online than any of the day of the year. Most are probably people at work, who take time out during the lunch breaks, to shop for items they didn’t find on the Black Friday deals.
I have seen a couple of stores who plan to begin their Black Friday Deals at the earliest time possible. This would at midnight and if it started any earlier, it would still be Thanksgiving Day. The first minutes after midnight, shoppers will be flocking to these stores, that are offering the Black Friday Sales at their stores. These same folks who go shopping at midnight, might be the ones who continue to stay up, so they can arrive at 3 a.m. to find a good parking place or a place in line close to the door. I never seen any Black Friday ads for a 3:00 a.m. sale this year. I did catch a couple offering the 4 a.m. Black Friday bargains. Just about all the popular stores will have the lights on and the doors unlocked at 5 a.m. local time, for the start of the busiest shopping day of the year.
If you plan to get out there at 8 or 9 a.m., which use to guarantee you a few of the early morning deals, this will be too late. The stores have tried their best to prevent the long lines, for their super cheap items; which they will have a limited supply of. In the past, a lot of people have got hurt, angry, cried, injured, excited, happy, or some other feelings of their rush into the stores, as the doors were being unlocked. In order to prevent injury to customers and the store employees who have to open up these doors, for the mobs that gather outside. Most retailers have sought earlier and earlier opening times, trying to cut down on the numbers of greedy shoppers, herding outside the front door.
Luckily it’s a whole new ball game on Monday; when a lot of online retailers will be slashing prices for the Cyber Monday shopping excitement. This Monday, shoppers will not have to worry about finding a good parking place or getting in a long line, to snatch up the first deals of the day on Monday. All you will need is your computer, a few of the major retailers saved to your favorites and you’re all set. I think most online shoppers will have about 5 to 8 different windows opened on their computer screen, so they can quickly see which online retailers have the lowest prices. Online shoppers will need to have their credit cards handy and ready to type in their name, shipping address, and the information from your credit card. Not only do you need the 16 digit number from your credit card, but please be sure to check out the 3 digit number on the back of your credit card. This number can sometimes get worn away and it is hard to read. Be sure you know this 3 digit number now, so you will not have any wasted motions on this Cyber Monday in late November.
If you plan to shop on Cyber Monday or on any other day this year for Christmas gifts, I have a good way you can save money. This is completely free to do, free to sign up for, and all U.S. citizens living in the Statesare elgible to use my money saving tip. If you live in England or the U.K, Australia, or Canada, you are also eligible to join this free money saving website! Since you will be spending money online shopping this year. Why not join a program, that covers all the major retailers, where they will award you cash back for all of your online purchases? This free program is called Big Crumbs and they have just recently went over the 12,000 retailers mark! This means, that over 12,000 different websites online that offer products or services online for sale, is under the huge umbrella of the Big Crumbs system for saving you money.
This is the way Big Crumbs works and it is good for someone who plans to spend $20 online, $150 online, or thousands of dollars online this holiday season. You just find the retailer you want to buy from, by going through the Big Crumbs main page. Once you go to Big Crumbs and click the “shop now” button from the Big Crumbs web page, your online activity begins to be tracked, without any noticeable differences to the Internet shopper. You locate and buy all the items you want from that online retailer and your job is done! Unless you have a 2nd website you want to visit, then just return to the main Big Crumbs page, located your next shopping website, and go from Big Crumbs to your 2nd online retailer and this 2nd shopping website will be tracked too.
A week or two later, the Big Crumbs program will kick in and a cash-back reward is given to these shoppers, who went from Big Crumbs to their online stores; which a consumer made a purchase. Your cash back amount will range in different percentage points, based on different retailers and what they decide to return to Big Crumb members. I use GoDaddy.com as one of my hosting services online, for a couple of my blogs. I can spend about $20 for a 6 month renewal fee and a few weeks later, I will get $2 back from the Big Crumbs system. This might not sound like a huge savings, but when you see how easy it is, to join Big Crumbs for free and just using their website as a launching pad, to arrive at your shopping destinations online, it becomes a no brainer for most consumers online.
Big Crumbs will hold back your first month’s payment and then begin making monthly payments to your Pay Pal accounts online. The best part about getting paid by Big Crumbs, is the fact they will pay you any amount that is owed to you, for any certain month. If you earn .11 cents or $11 dollars, you will get paid either amount to your Pay Pal account. Pay day is normally around the 15th of the month, give or take a few days. I have received .22 cent payments before, because I had earned that amount from the Big Crumbs system. Whatever amount they owe you, I can guarantee that they will pay you, once the time arrives for them to pay their members. No minimum amounts to earn here and you want be waiting months and months, to try and reach any cash minimums. You just focus on earning money at Big Crumbs by sharing this program with family or friends or just use it yourself to get cash back rewards online. Shopping online has never been easier or as rewarding; when you use this powerful rewards program for shoppers on the World Wide Web!
For those eBay members out there, you can use Big Crumbs to save even more money, from the low auction bids you win there. Please don’t think that Big Crumbs will not have your favorite online websites to shop at on the Net. Remember they have over 12,000 retailers that currently fall under their massive umbrella, for saving computer shoppers cash. This upcoming Cyber Monday, would be a great time to make your first purchase, using the Big Crumb money saving system, which anyone and everyone can join for FREE!

Just some of the retailers that caught my eye at Big Crumbs for parents and grand parents, who want to buy something nice for their children and grand children for this upcoming 2010 Christmas Day. I could go on and on and on, naming the different online stores, you can save some cash from, if you simply use the Big Crumbs page, to make your way to these online retailers.
1. Join Big Crumbs for FREE Now
2. Check the Long List of Online Retailers
3. Click the “Shop Now” Button from Any of the Big Crumb Stores
4. A New Page Will Open Up and Redirect You To the Chosen Store
5. Browse Around and Load Your Carts Up
6. Buy the Items in Your Online Shopping Cart
7. Wait About 1 to 2 Months for Your Pay Pal Account to Get Paid From Big Crumbs
That’s it!
These simple 7 steps, will allow you to get back some of that money you spent in December. Big Crumbs does hold back a month, to all new members and then begin paying each month. So if you ever should decide to quit the Big Crumb system, you would be eligible to receive 2 more months of payments. I believe most of you holiday shoppers, will be getting your cash back rewards, in the middle of February. A few of you may receive payment in mid-January and a few others might get their first pay day from Big Crumbs in mid-May.
This Big Crumbs program will work now, this weekend, on Cyber Monday, or any other shopping you do online 365 days a year. No matter how little or frequent you buy things over the Internet, you should always use Big Crumbs before you make those online purchases. Absolutely no hassles to use and its free money you get back!
The Amazon.com website does offer a link at Big Crumbs, but currently they are not paying any cash back rewards or payments to your Big Crumb referrals, who buy something at Amazon.com. And speaking of referrals, you can earn extra money, by passing your Big Crumbs referral link, to your friends, family, or any online contacts you have on the Internet. The downline program at Big Crumbs reward up to 3 levels deep in your Big Crumbs downline. So this can be a good money-making program, for those who want to promote it during the holiday season or any other times of the year. If you have a lot of shopping friends, you may want to join Amazon and become a referral for them and then you can promote any of the Amazon products online, for some extra cash!
