Why deal with the traffic nightmares at the mall tomorrow? This
Baltimore Sun
article points out that the growth of online stores has dramatically changed the post-Turkey shopping bonanza.
Today is the day to score some of the best deals on your favorite brands, without having to actually travel anywhere to
buy them, except to the nearest keyboard. Ahhh, the joys of online shopping…Remember the
Amazon,
REI and
Treehugger travel gift ideas we mentioned earlier? If
you’ve got an internet connection at Uncle Bob’s place and some time to spare before dinner’s on the table, why not pop
online and shop for a bit? Analysts are predicting that gas prices may drive even more traffic to websites than to the
parking lot malls this year, so, as an alternative, if you don’t have time to shop online today, you might get lucky
with slightly smaller crowds at the actual stores tomorrow. Or, you may choose a third option, and
not buy into the holiday hype at all.
Whichever you decide, have fun and travel safe!
