Year after year, shoppers line up outside stores on Black Friday (or after they’ve finished their turkey dinner the night before) to get the best price on things they want. They also log on to their computers at 12:01am on Cyber Monday to get the best deal online. But is it really worth it? With the goal of helping you shop smarter, we at Smoopa took a Mythbusters approach to comb through our data to find out.
