Riding on the coattails of Black Friday, you think you’re ready for Cyber Monday and all it has to offer. After all, you conquered Friday, so the Internet version should be a piece of cake, right?
Mood: Confident
As your Gmail inbox fills up with deal after deal, you start thinking maybe the Universe has your back. Exactly what you want — for half price!
Mood: Ready for savings
The first few transactions go smoothly, and you know you’re the queen on Cyber Monday.
Mood: Cloud nine
You start to get a little cocky. These deals are a piece of cake. You have these stores eating out of the palm of your hand.
Mood: Overzealous
Your shopping math gets the better of you, and you make a reckless purchase. You definitely needed a $200 python-print bootie. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
Mood: Defensive
Regret starts to set in on the shoes. What would your mother say about them?
Mood: Self-conscious
Then the ultimate insult occurs. Those shoes, the ones you spent $200 on, are discounted even further on another site.
Mood: Betrayed
But, you’re cool. You remember you can cancel your order and buy those heels at 75 percent off.
Mood: Elated
You know your entire credit card number like the back of your hand now, so you add it in a trance. You click “Place Order,” even though you’re starting to feel yanked around.
Mood: You’re nobody’s plaything.
You’ll take what you’ve learned and apply it to next year’s flash sales. Because, let’s face it, nothing is going to stop you from getting the perfect deal on python prints. Ever.
Mood: Ready for next year
