Alexa von Tobel, CEO of LearnVest.com, is here to reveal how you can get the best deals on Cyber Monday while staying within your budget.
Rule 1: Set a Budget
If you want to make sure that you can afford your purchases, make sure that you set a budget before you shop.
Rule 2: Use Credit, Not Debit
Use credit cards to take advantage of any rewards programs, and also so that you can easily track your spending and process returns easily.
Note – If you have major credit card debt, by all means, use your debit card.
Rule 3: See it In Person
Whenever you make a major purchase online, make sure you go see it in a physical store first to make sure it fulfills your needs.
