The first official batch of Cyber Monday deals are expected to surface shortly before Black Friday. The weekend before Cyber Monday, in particular, is always fertile ground for deals. Although, the best offers will be reserved for Monday itself. Some of these deals might even last until the first week of December, but prices often creep up immediately after Cyber Monday to catch out shoppers leaving it to the last minute.
The next few weeks will be filled with more deals than you could possibly sort through. Make sure to keep this page bookmarked for the best sales of the entire Cyber Monday period. This year Cyber Monday falls on Monday, November However, Cyber Monday sales will be available well before that date. Some of the earliest offers will start the week before. Likewise, several of the best discounts will be extended beyond November 29 and will still be available through the first week of December.
Cyber Monday deals are traditionally most common on tech items such as 4K TVs, laptops, tablets, video games, and kitchen appliances. Popular products in these categories are expected to tumble to new record low prices during the annual sales event. Cyber Monday began as the online version of Black Friday , where online retailers offered big discounts to match their brick-and-mortar counterparts. Now, Cyber Monday is one of the biggest shopping days of the year, often surpassing even Black Friday in terms of revenue and sales.
Previously, the main distinction between Black Friday and Cyber Monday was that Black Friday focused on in-store sales and Cyber Monday on online sales. But as shopping habits have increasingly favored the internet, shoppers can look forward to a very online-focused Cyber Monday and Black Friday.
Cyber Monday offers a great opportunity to save on all your holiday gifts. Though Cyber Monday sales once took place on Monday only, we've seen them extend to longer and longer durations, with a handful lasting through the rest of the week.
However, the best discounts we see are in limited supply and expire soon after they become available. With more and more buyers shopping online, the debate over which shopping holiday wins, is practically moot. Both events will be held predominantly online, and more than a few deals overlap. In fact, many Black Friday deals become Cyber Monday deals when the dates change. If possible, buyers should shop on both holidays. We've seen different products receive better discounts on each day, and the deals that each retailer offers will vary.
Generally speaking, consumers shopping for big-ticket items, such as laptops , TVs , and kitchen appliances , can expect more opportunities on Black Friday. Shoppers looking for last year's models, smart home gadgets , digital subscriptions, and gift cards will likely find more luck during Cyber Monday. If a retailer offers Black Friday deals, it's a near guarantee that it will offer Cyber Monday deals, too. Amazon , Best Buy , Target , and Walmart are some noteworthy retailers that we know will participate in the shopping event, with deals across many product categories.
We will likely see massive discounts on some of our favorite direct-to-consumer products during Cyber Monday, such as retail startups like Leesa and Brooklinen. For some online stores, Cyber Monday or Cyber Week will be one of the few times of the year when their products see major markdowns. Shipping delays and shopping holidays are inextricably linked, so there's always a risk of late deliveries.
To help you avoid the shipping crunch and get your stuff sooner, several retailers, including Walmart, Target, and Best Buy, offer in-store pickup and contactless curbside pickup.
This means shoppers can grab their orders at a nearby location, provided that the retailer has it in stock. Last year, we saw a lot of great sales on Cyber Monday ranging from sitewide discounts to specific products. Everything from home and kitchen, to subscription services were on sale during last year's annual savings event.

In short, no - Cyber Monday and Black Friday should feature deals of similar quality. This could vary depending on what items you're looking to pick up, however. According to an interview conducted by Business Insider , Steve Koenig of the Consumer Technology Association stated that "Black Friday equals big-ticket items" and that "many [people's] purchases end up being for themselves or their own households".
We've seen ourselves that deals on TVs, toys, gaming consoles, and appliances are often better on Black Friday, whereas Cyber Monday can be better for deals on laptops, clothing, and travel. Often, Cyber Monday deals are a continuation of the prior Black Friday sales, both in width and content. Since Black Friday comes first, you can expect retailers to start strong by offering those 'big ticket' items for sale.
Things like games consoles or other highly sought-after items are likely to sell out extremely quickly, so you'll want to keep your eye out over Black Friday for those.
That said, it's worth noting that the vast majority of deals do not sell out over either sales event. Cyber Monday deals on things like cheap laptops, TVs, clothing, and appliances will all still be fantastic and in some cases could possibly exceed those offered on Black Friday.
Traditionally speaking no - Cyber Monday deals are often as good as those on Black Friday. That said, supply chain issues have really put the strain on a ton of categories over the past month or so; and that's everything from phones, to toys, and surprisingly even mattresses. While it's still too early to say there won't definitively be any good deals on Cyber Monday this year, it could be a wise policy to get that Holiday shopping done sooner rather than later - especially on high-demand categories.
Either way, we'll be dropping in any notable early deals into this article as we get closer to the date as well as any updates on the ongoing supply chain issues. Tech remains the cornerstone of Cyber Monday deals and you can expect a ton of great prices on laptops, tablets, 4K TVs, phones, and smartwatches across the board.
In recent year's we've seen the event expand out to include other categories - namely appliances and mattresses being two crowd favorites. As the last big retail event of , we're expecting a ton of relatively new releases to go on sale over Cyber Monday. In particular, we should see some great options for 11th generation Intel Core i5 and i7 laptops and hopefully the lowest prices yet on the newest MacBooks.
Phones-wise, we've got the new iPhone 13 on the market now, but it's likely the best deals will be found on the slightly older Samsung Galaxy S21 range. That said, launch promotions for the iPhone 13 have been particularly strong this year so we could see a few surprises First thing's first, we'll be rounding up all the best Cyber Monday deals right here on this page, so if you want an easy-to-navigate index of expert recommendations, just simply bookmark this page and revisit.
Regardless of whether you'll be flying solo or not, however, we do still have some tips to help score the best possible Cyber Monday deals. Check in early As with the prior Black Friday deals which happen the Friday before Cyber Monday , we always recommend checking in early to see what's on sale. While it's not always a case of the 'early bird gets the worm', there are sometimes flash sales on sites like Amazon which are available for a limited time and in limited quantities. It's also likely that a lot of the best deals from Black Friday will spill over into the weekend too, so it's always worth it keeping an eye on things on Saturday and Sunday.
Know what you're looking for We'd definitely recommend drawing up some sort of basic shopping list or a list of requirements well before Cyber Monday lands.
For example, if you're looking for gifts then shortlist a number of options based on personal research. If you're looking for something like a 4K TV, set your budget, determine what size you need, and do a bit of reading in regards to brands and features.
Similarly, with laptops you should think about what kind of specs and power you'll need and visit sites like Dell and HP beforehand to gauge what they're likely to offer on the day. Be prepared to buy alternatives Following on from our second tip, we'd also recommend keeping an open mind in regards to what's exactly going to be on sale. You may have a crystal picture of the exact laptop you want to buy beforehand but find it's not as heavily reduced as another similar choice. In this case, it's often best to be brand-agnostic if you want to bag the best Cyber Monday deals.
Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart tend to have the biggest overall sales over Cyber Monday - both in terms of the number of items on sale and in the steepness of the price cuts.
We'd always advocate checking into those retailers first if you're looking for the juiciest deals, especially if it's on tech. That said, there are a ton of other major stores that offer fantastic promotions over Cyber Monday.
Big non-tech chains like Kohl's, Macy's, and Staples all run their own great sales which can cover everything from office furniture to clothing. We've rounded up a few 'mini-reviews' for the top Cyber Monday retailers just down below, based on our own experience from covering their events.
That was the case over and we're expecting this year's event to follow in the same vein. As always with Best Buy, there are a ton of weekly sales being run all year round, so it's also worth checking in before Cyber Monday to see what's going cheap.
Shop the current Best Buy deals. Other electronics, fashion, and health and beauty were also highlights for Amazon in - though its sale covered a vast number of categories. Also worth checking out at Amazon is its daily deals section, which we've linked just below. Shop the latest Amazon sale. Walmart Cyber Monday deals Walmart was one of the only retailers to offer a distinct lineup of deals for both Black Friday and Cyber Monday last year, not simply offering a continuation.
