Shoppers who missed out on last weekend’s Black Friday discounts need not despair. Today’s Cyber Monday sales, which feature discounts on everything from iPhones to Smart TVs, are now in full swing.
Cyber Monday was originally conceived in 2005 as the online shopping equivalent of Black Friday, according to Metro. Today Cyber Monday is an even bigger event with many of its discounts found in-store as well as online.
While Cyber Monday sales have traditionally been limited to a single day, some retailers, such as Amazon UK, have decided to run their discounts until 30 November – i.e. this Friday.
