Cyber Monday is probably the last thing on your mind right now. However, Cyber Monday deals will be here before you know it. I've been covering Cyber Monday deals for 16 years and each year retailers launch their sales earlier and earlier.
On this page I'm listing the best early Cyber Monday deals you can get along with some predictions as to the type of sales you can expect. While it's true that November and December are the best months to buy just about anything, not every Cyber Monday sale you see is worth your time. I'll be separating the good deals from the bad while price checking every deal that comes my way.
Additionally, I'll be listing Cyber Monday deals on devices the experts at Tom's Guide have tested, own, or recommend. That includes everything from our favorite smartphone to our top mattress for side sleepers. I'll also price-check every deal, looking at a device's price history, and spotlighting those deals we'd recommend to our own friends and family.
Make sure to bookmark our full-proof guide to the best Cyber Monday deals as we'll be updating this page regularly from now through the holidays.
Best early sales
Cyber Monday vs Prime Big Deal Days
It's official! Prime Big Deal Days will take place October 8th and 9th. The Prime members-only event will offer sitewide deals on 4K TVs, Apple devices, home appliances, apparel, and more. It's essentially Amazon's kick-off to the holiday season. That said, it's mostly an Amazon-only event. Yes, there will be competing sales from the likes of Best Buy and Walmart, but the focus will be on Amazon. As a result, you might find better deals on Cyber Monday because practically every retailer — not just Amazon — offers Cyber Monday deals. My advice, shop both sales but know that Cyber Monday is likely to offer the lower prices.
When is Cyber Monday 2024?
Cyber Monday 2024 officially falls on Monday, December 2. However, we expect many Cyber Monday deals will start the weekend after Black Friday.
Are there Cyber Monday deals at Apple?
The Apple Store doesn't have proper Cyber Monday deals. Instead, the retailer extends its Black Friday promo though Cyber Monday. However, we usully see better Apple Cyber Monday deals from competitors like Best Buy and Amazon.
Mattress discounts and Cyber Monday
From weighted blankets to mattresses, we expect to see massive discounts on all things related to the bedroom. Mattresses will undergo epic price drops as popular brands like Purple, Saatva, and Tuft & Needle offer the lowest prices of 2023. Make sure to follow our Cyber Monday mattress deals coverage for the best sales of the season.
What to expect from Cyber Monday deals
Lego sets, Apple devices, small kitchen appliances, and 4K TVs will be high on many people's shopping lists. Fortunately, these are the items that tend to see the steepest discounts on Cyber Monday.
Earlier this summer we saw the MacBook Air M1 on sale for just $749 and the iPad on sale for an all-time low of $249. That beats last year's best Cyber Monday deals for these Editor's Choice devices. However, given that Cyber Monday deals are the lowest prices of the year, we can expect 2023's best deals to drop even lower. For reference, some of the best Cyber Monday deals of the previous year include 75-inch 4K TVs from $499 and AirPods from $89.
When it comes to Cyber Monday deals on consoles, the PS5 and Xbox Series X might be easier to find, but don't significant price cuts. Beyond tech, Cyber Monday deals also discount kitchen appliances, such as Instant Pots, air fryers, and coffee machines. There are also excellent discounts on mattresses with epic dollar-off discounts on some of our favorite brands like Nectar, Casper, Purple, and more. Expect to save as much as $500 on a new mattress.
