It's time to get your shop on, and rise of online shopping and Cyber Monday has given deal-hungry consumers some options.
With Thanksgiving occurring on the earliest possible day this year, the official holiday shopping season is as long as it can be. For years, the Friday following Thanksgiving — Black Friday — was the unquestioned king of that season. But the furious growth of the Internet has spawned Cyber Monday, an online shopping frenzy that grew 22 percent from 2010 to $1.25 billion in sales in the United States. It still pales in comparison to Black Friday, which last year generated $52.4 billion in sales, up from $45 billion in 2010.

From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, Jimmy John's is saying 'thank you' with a customer appreciation deal to feed the masses. Order any of the eight-inch subs, numbers one through six for just $1. Lines of 75 people inched out the Jimmy John's Brookfield location near Capitol Drive and North 124th Street, the same experience happening across Milwaukee for the lunch deal. "We saw it on Facebook and planned for it," said Kayla Casalena, 18, of Menomonee Falls, who came with her mom and a friend. They said they prefer Jimmy John's's subs over other well-known sub sandwich chains. Manager Nick Gorman said his story started selling the buck-subs at 10:50 a.m. because people already were waiting. "We had a bunch of people lined up," Gorman said, …
