Exactly a week from now, the entire country will be in shopping frenzy. Not only will the stores be over-crowded, online sales will reach a record high when on November 23rd Black Friday kicks off the holiday shopping season for 2012.

Labor Day marks the end of summer in the USA. It is the last weekend before everyone returns to work and school. The holiday is celebrated by the stores with huge sales events.

If you were planning a purchase, now is the time to act. You certainly do not want to miss out on:

• Up to 70% off at OfficeMax (computers, electronics, office supplies).
• Up to $700 off on all Sony TV's at Sears.
• 
• Up to 40% off at Gap, 50% at Old Navy, and 35% at Banana Republic.

• Kmart's deal on PlayStation 3 Infamous 2 Bundle with 360GB Console & Infamous 2 Game for only $299.99

Just to name a few.

Labor Day is a national holiday, which means all offices are closed on Monday September 5. We will be monitoring emails in case of anything urgent. We will be back in full swing on Tuesday.

Happy Shopping!
