Cyber Monday sale: How to get the best deals

LOS ANGELES – Cyber Monday is on Nov. 27, 2023. This major shopping event that takes place the Monday after Thanksgiving each year is a great time to work your way through your holiday shopping list or to stock up on the things you need.

If you missed Black Friday and you’re in the market for new tech, home products, toys or beauty products, Cyber Monday is an excellent time to buy. Amazon and Target customers can expect deep discounts across categories including electronics, toys, home, fashion and beauty.

Amazon will spread the joy of seasonal savings throughout its Cyber Monday weekend event with festive deals from top brands like Casper, Ninja, CeraVe and Helly Hansen.

New deals will drop as often as every five minutes during select periods throughout the Cyber Monday events.

Deal notification from Alexa

Customers can get personalized deal notifications from Alexa up to 24 hours in advance on eligible items within their Wish List, Carts or Saved for Later lists. They can keep an eye on personalized deals throughout the season by saying, “Alexa, what are my deals?”

They can also ask Alexa to remind them of deals once they are live, or ask Alexa to make a purchase when a deal is available by saying, “Alexa, buy it for me.”

All season long, customers can also discover and shop incredible gifts from small businesses—including from Black-owned, woman-owned, military family-owned, Hispanic-owned, Asian & Pacific Islander-owned, and LGBTQIA-owned businesses.

Customers can also explore unique gift ideas in the Small Business Gift Guide, which features curated selections including gifts under $50, $25, toys and games, and fashion.

They can shop the “Top 100-ish gift picks” to find popular and trending products and check out customer’s most loved gifts across toys, home and electronics. They can scroll “Inspire” on the Amazon Shopping app and “Shop by Interest” to find photos and videos created by influencers, other customers and brands.
