2008 Cyber Monday Deals: RedOctane, Old Navy, Wal-Mart and More

Aaron Smith
Cyber Monday is here. Cyber Monday could be considered the younger sibling of Black Friday. Cyber Monday was started as the unofficial ceremonial kick-off of the holiday on line shopping season in the United States. When Cyber Monday began it was simply a day for Internet only retailers to get the attention of customers, but the times are changing and brick and mortar stores are now offering Cyber Monday deals on line now as well. The evolution of Cyber Monday has brought increased amounts of dollars to on line spending on this first Monday after Thanksgiving each of the past few years, and estimates are that this year will be no different despite a poor overall economic picture.

What are some of the best deals available to on line shopper's today? Here is a look at five items that are significantly discounted and where you can find them on line.

1. RedOctane.com Guitar Hero 3- Xbox 360 Game and the Guitar for only $29.99 with free shipping. This is a very popular game among teenagers across the world, so my bet is this deal will go very quickly. The fact that they are offering this bundle for such a great price as well as free shipping is quite an amazing deal on something that most stores aren't putting on deep discounts.

2. OldNavy.com 20% off your entire purchase and free shipping. This is a very good deal because just by putting in the promo code: SAVENOW you are able to get 20% off and free shipping no matter what amount you spend.

3. WalMart.com WalMart is offering quite a few products in its single day Cyber Monday sale, but the one that really caught my eye was the Sandisk Sansa MP3 Player. The Sansa has 2GB of flash memory and weighs less than one ounce. This is a terrific gift idea if you are looking to get someone an MP3 player without going broke!

4. Staples.com Staples is also offering quite a few different deals on this Cyber Monday, but the Xerox Phaser 6125 Laser Printer stands out as a terrific deal. This printer is one of the best on the market and typically goes for $349, but today only it is $149.

5. BestBuy.com In the market for a LCD monitor? If so then today is your day to get the Acer 22" Widescreen Flat Panel LCD HD Monitor for $169.99. Many other places have discounted this monitor, but this is the first I have seen below $200. Throw free shipping on top of it and you have yourself a very good deal.

Those are five of the best deals on this Cyber Monday. Take advantage of the lower prices and the free shipping deals being offered across the Internet. In today's economy, being frugal is very important and Cyber Monday deals like will help one by very frugal!
