Holidays
So what is Cyber Monday anyway - some kind of fabricated holiday by companies to get people to buy more products? Well, yeah, basically. It's a little reminiscent of
"Love Day" on the Simpsons:
Love Day was a Summer holiday made up by Mr. Costington when he wanted to increase Summer sales to keep Costingtons
from falling into bankruptcy. The holiday was put together to scam
people into buying Love-themed toys and gifts for no reason whatsoever.
The scam turned out to be a success.
OK, that's a little cynical because Cyber Monday actually does have some real value, but
Cyber Monday was actually created by the National Retail Federation to get people to shop.

A woman survives off water for three weeks, the U.S. decides to move away from terror alerts that make as much sense as Twister, a San Diego Serbian is arrested for having the biggest explosive stockpile in US history, and some poor redneck faces a felony charge for blinding a helicopter pilot with his laser pointer. Happy Thanksgiving?

You can probably guess that it is a busy time of year for us here at Savings.com.
Black Friday and
Cyber Monday loom, promising awesome deals for our users. And an equally awesome amount of work for our employees securing and posting those great deals in time. It's enough to make a penny pinching professional panic! But not if you are prepared.
How does your top
money saving site prepare for the challenge...the trial...the triumph that is the holiday shopping season? What does it take to make Savings.com a lean, coupon code posting machine? It takes weeks, nay, months, of grueling training. The discipline of a champion. The concentration of a yogi. The improbable resilience of Bristol Palin on
Dancing With the Stars.
It takes....oh, just watch the video already!

Recently, I was a bad mom. A really bad mom. I told my daughter if she continued to be a good girl, I would go to the
Disney Store to buy her a Mulan costume for Halloween. So every day, she was very well-mannered and on her best behavior, both at home and at school (
although expected, even without the bribe).
The time came to buy her Mulan costume and I was very much excited for her because it was the day we had all been waiting for. It was five days before Halloween and I just knew that no other girls would want to be Mulan and it would be heavily discounted because it would be excess stock.
Boy, was I wrong and it was the biggest retail wake-up call ever.
