Happy Cyber Monday!

Reports estimate that shoppers will spend nearly $1.5 billion today. While most of this money goes toward large corporations like Amazon and Target, consider contributing to small, independent businesses today. Lots of them can be found at online storefronts like Etsy.com and Storenvy.com. You can continue to use the PLAIDFRIDAY 20% off coupon on my Etsy site through the end of today--find more coupons on NerdWallet.

For those of you in the Bay Area, Mayor Jean Quan has announced that the City of Oakland will offer free parking every Saturday from Thanksgiving until New Year's! Get out there and support local brick-and-mortar businesses.

Happy shopping!
