Discover the start date of Best Buy’s Cyber Monday sale, what deals to expect on laptops, TVs, and tech, and tips for getting the best savings this holiday season.

The Cyber Monday sale, so named because once upon a time it was mostly about tech gadgets, has essentially transformed into a second Black Friday, offering many of the same price cuts and a similar selection across product categories, plus some extras, such as outdoor gear, that weren’t discounted on Friday.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are known for huge discounts on big-ticket items, but they're also great times to save on streaming devices. Convert your existing TV to a smart TV with an Amazon Fire TV Stick at 50% off, or improve your TV’s sound with the Roku Streambar SE for less than $80.

Amazon would never pass up an opportunity to dish out deals to consumers. This year, Amazon's Cyber Monday sale will officially kick off on Nov. 29 —two days early — and run through Dec. 1. It will essentially pick up right where Black Friday leaves off.

Explore how Black Friday and Cyber Monday compare in deals, best shopping times, and overall value to help you plan your holiday purchases smartly.
