Online shopping sales abound
If we all do all our shopping online all the time, is Cyber Monday still a thing? Yes, say experts, who note that companies often double down on internet sales, perhaps especially this year, when a late Thanksgiving means fewer shopping days. Consumers are expected to spend a record $9.4 billion on this day, en route to more than $140 billion in predicted online holiday sales.
