For many years, Black Friday was the best day to shop for deals. But during the last few years, Cyber Monday has supplanted Black Friday as the US’s greatest yearly shopping day.
Three days after Black Friday, on Monday, is Cyber Monday, which focuses on online purchases. This year, Cyber Monday falls on November 29.
Electronics typically receive the greatest discounts on this day.
In fact, Cyber Monday has overtaken Black Friday as the most popular online shopping day; in 2020, sales on this day hit a record high of $10.8 billion.
The difference between the two bargain days has become much hazier in comparison to previous years, with many stores giving the same discounts all weekend long (and even before and after).
On Black Friday, you’ll generally find greater deals on products you only purchase once a year or less frequently. On Cyber Monday, it’s probable that you’ll find greater deals on everything you’d buy as a gift.
Is it better to buy on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
In general, Black Friday is a better day to shop in stores and buy newer, more expensive items. Cyber Monday is a better day to buy electronics and inexpensive gifts due to somewhat lower internet costs.
