Holiday Spending: Get Top Holiday Shopping and Savings TipsSee: 3 Easy Tips To Turn Your Credit Woes Into Wows
Online retailer eBay is widely credited with coining the term Green Monday in 2007. Dubbed the “busiest last-minute shopping holiday of the year,” Green Monday falls on the second Monday in December. It earned its title because it is the last Monday with at least 10 days until the big day. For online shoppers, it generally marks the last safe day to place orders before cutting the deadline too close to receiving them before Christmas.
While many retailers are still coming around to the label, Green Monday savings are out there and may offer some of the biggest savings of the year. Here are five of the best deals you can get on Dec. 12.
