NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) - With Black Friday and Small Business Saturday in the rear-view mirror, shoppers are now gearing up for Cyber Monday.
That means skipping the lines at the mall and scoring some major deals online.
Retailers across the country will be offering online bargains on a whole range of items, from clothing to electronics.
"It is expected that anywhere from 7 to 8 billion dollars' worth of merchandise will be purchased," Hofstra University marketing professor, Anil Mathur told CBS2's Reena Roy.
"The mistakes that people make is that they click on the buy button without thinking... then they come back and realize oops, there is something better than that."
Experts say you'll find the best deals on clothing and shoes, travel bookings (especially domestic flights), and on some electronics like televisions.
