Stores stretching Cyber Monday bargains

"Cyber Monday" has become "Cyber Week," according to an Associated Press article.

Retailers often have online deals the Monday after Thanksgiving, when people return to work and shop from their desks, but many of them this year are extending those discounts through the week and longer, the article says.

Here is a sampling:

• Walmart.com: Through Friday, the site is offering discounts of up to 30 percent on 150 items including electronics, toys and video games. A Samsung 10MP digital camera with a memory card and case is $79 and a Compaq laptop printer is $498.
• Target.com: Through Saturday, the site will offer deals on more than 1,500 products, including electronics, toys, clothes and home decor. Free shipping is available until Dec. 13 on more than 60,000 items. Other one-day deals will be featured online.
• Barnesandnoble.com: The site is offering a 15 percent discount to shoppers via an e-mail promotion through Dec. 9.
• Kmart.com: On Monday, people who clicked on hidden ornaments on the site were receiving an extra 10 percent off. The site was also offering $5 off orders or $25 or more with the promotional code "ILOVEKMART" and had cashmere cardigans on sale for $29.99, down from $69.99 and $49.99. More online deals will be offered on Dec. 8 and Dec. 15.
• Sears.com: The site is offering 50 percent to 60 percent off sweaters, up to 20 percent off tools and an extra $5 off orders over $25 for customers who use the "ILOVESEARS" promotional codes. Additional online deals will come Dec. 8 and Dec. 15.
• Amazon.com: The site is offering discounts throughout the holidays, like a Sony VAIO laptop, regularly $1,699.99, for $1,179 to $1,229.99 and a Kota the Triceratops robotic dinosaur for $199.99, $100 off the original price.
