For those of you who don't know about Cyber Monday, many popular online stores like Amazon, Best Buy, Target and Walmart are all having a Black Friday after-party... All. Week. LONG! So here's the scoop in what you should look out for:

First things first, right off the bat you should know that Amazon.com is a leading competitor during Cyber Week. If you're looking for something, anything, in particular, (compare all you want but) Amazon is probably you're go-to for the best deals.

What to Avoid...

• KitchenAid Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer ($499.99 $299.99)

Why?: I'll hand it to ya, this is one heck of a deal! But unless you have your own television show on Food Network, ditch the upscaled-version for what you really need, a standard mixer. Let's face it, you want something that gets the job done, without fusing your circuit breaker.
