When do Cyber Monday 2018 deals officially start?
Traditionally, Cyber Monday discounts start on the Monday following thanksgiving, which is November 26 this year. But each year, retailers are giving us more and more time to shop the marked down items. Last year, Draper James started offering Cyber Monday discounts three days before the official shopping holiday. And once Monday has come and gone, the party usually continues with deals occasionally being extended through the end of the week.
Which stores offer the best discounts during Cyber Monday 2018?
If you've seen any brands in the news lately that aren't doing too well, you can expect to see the steepest discounts coming from those brands. Why? This is the perfect opportunity for them to quickly move any excess stock.
And don't forget about online shopping giants — like Walmart and Amazon. Of course, they're known for great electronic deals and toys. (You can't forget about the kids.) But, believe it or not, we've found some pretty amazing clothes on Amazon in the past. And this year, the retailer is celebrating Cyber Monday for an entire week.
