Cyber Monday: Have You Had Enough Shopping Yet?

Malls and outlets were flooded with people on Black Friday, Smithtown locals hit stores in the community on Small Business Saturday, but now there's a new day for shopping and huge deals -- Cyber Monday.

Cyber Monday's origins date back to 2005, and according to ComScore statistics listed in a Nov. 23 story on Huffington Post, "consumers are expected to empty their wallets of more than $1 billion on Cyber Monday."

But with all these days for saving money being promoted, are you all shopped out?

Smithtown Patch reader "Pam" said in the comments on a question we posed Friday -- "Better Shopping Day: Black Friday or Small Business Saturday?" -- that people aren't shopping enough.

"New York now has a buget [budget] gap 170.8 million since July, and we currently are looking at a gap of 259.8 million for the fiscal year. In order to close that gap revenues will have to go up 5.1% in the last five months of this fiscal year," Pam wrote.

So will you open your wallets and buy your loved ones and coworkers gifts? Or have you shopped enough?
