Should you shop on Black Friday or Cyber Monday?

Black Friday has some great deals, but are those offered on Cyber Monday better? Rebecca Lehmann, a senior manager at discount-scouting site Brad’s Deals says, “More and more, it’s that there really isn’t so much delineation between them as there used to be.” The two are now blending together for several reasons, one being that retailers are now offering Black Friday deals online as well as in-store, so Cyber Monday is no longer the only day to get those discounts online.

So how does one choose which day to shop? Experts say you should consider each item on your shopping list on a case-by-case basis and find when the best deals on each item will be happening. Also Phillip Dengler, head of editorial and content marketing at BestBlackFriday.com, says while he “wouldn’t really wait for anything on Cyber Monday,” travel deals are the exception.
