It has arrived. The day of discounts. No stalking people walking to their cars to claim a coveted spot in the mall parking lot, no getting run over by strollers while making your way through frantic crowds, and no waiting in line at the register while Mrs. “Extreme Couponing” rifles through her stack of 78 store loyalty cards and clippings from inserts in Sunday’s Boston Globe.

Today, I will be joined by countless Americans that have decided to cast aside traditional in-store shopping, and make good on one of the 25+ “One Day Only” or “You’d-be-out-of-your-Mind-to-Miss-these-Savings” email offers I’ve received in the past 12 hours. Should I buy a 50″ HDTV? Probably not. But I have to hand it to Best Buy for coming exceptionally close to convincing me that this is a deal I just can’t afford to miss. And they add Free Shipping on top of that? ¡Ay, caramba!

Are you partaking in the 6th Annual Cyber Monday madness? And if so, are you dedicating your lunch break today to holiday shopping? Because last year, of consumers that shopped online, a whopping 70% did their shopping at work!!

Check out this infographic on Mashable by NowSourcing.com, which shows how Cyber Monday has grown into the biggest day for online retail to date — to the tune of $1 billion in the US alone.
