As we near the end of November, many of us start to prepare for Black Friday and Thanksgiving and immediately afterwards begin to think about Christmas. However, there is another really important day in November that happens to come very soon after Thanksgiving. That day is Cyber Monday. A lot of you might be wondering “What is Cyber Monday and when is it?”
Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving when online retailers offer major discounts on many of their products. This year it happens to fall on Monday, November 27th. Now you all might be thinking, “Oh that’s cool, but what is the difference between Cyber Monday and Black Friday?”
Well, Cyber Monday and Black Friday are very similar. However, Cyber Monday serves the purpose of allowing those who were unable to shop in person on Black Friday to still get the best deals online. Also, Cyber Monday is a great way to get ahead on getting Christmas presents because not only do you have a larger variety of products to choose from online versus in a physical store, but you can get pretty awesome deals too.
To answer the final question you all might be thinking of, “Where can I go to get some discounted stuff?” You are all in luck because that’s what we’re here to discuss. We have found and curated a list of the best Cyber Monday discounts from the online retailers that offer the greatest Cyber Monday deals.
8. LG
To start off Cyber Monday, we wanted to provide you all with one of the best deals we could find, which was on LG’s website. LG, also known as Life’s Good and formerly known as Lucky-Goldstar, is a South Korean multinational electronics company. They are known for manufacturing a wide range of products, including televisions, smartphones, home appliances, and more.

It was originally listed at $1,049.99, but is on sale for $699.99. That is a $350 or 33.3333% savings.
