But as Which? research (opens in new tab) found that nine out of 10 Black Friday deals were actually cheaper at other times of the year, it's important to be savvy to make sure you bag a genuine bargain.
Personal finance expert Rachel Lacey (opens in new tab) says: "Always keep at the back of your mind that Black Friday is a retailer’s ruse to get us to spend more money. Yes, there will be bargains out there, but you could easily end up spending more than you can afford, quite possibly on things you don’t need or won’t get used.
"Don’t beat yourself up if you do get carried away though. If in the cold light of day you realise you’ve spent too much, you may be able to return items and get a refund."
When does Cyber Monday end?
Cyber Monday ends at 11.59pm on 28 November 2022. While the date changes every year, Cyber Monday always falls on the first Monday after Black Friday.
In the past, Black Friday deals used to be found in store and deals moved online for Cyber Monday, but while the name has stuck, a lot of retailers offer their deals in store and on their app or website for both Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Find out more about the history of these shopping events in our Black Friday vs Cyber Monday (opens in new tab) guide.
While Black Friday and Cyber Monday used to only take place on those two days, many retailers tend to start slashing prices in advance of Black Friday until Cyber Monday is over. For example, this year, Amazon started its Black Friday Week (opens in new tab) on 18 November and it will run until midnight on Cyber Monday. That's 10 days of slashed prices. Cyber Monday normally marks the end of the Black Friday deals frenzy and is often the last chance to benefit from price discounts before Boxing Day sales start.

Is Cyber Monday as good as Black Friday?
Over the last few years, Cyber Monday and Black Friday sales have blended into one big sale, so there tends to be little difference in how good the deals are. But retailers might switch up which products are discounted throughout the sale period.
Some retailers may also offer extra discounts towards the end of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale to help clear out any sale stock they haven't yet sold, but that is always at the retailer's discretion rather than being common practice.
If you spot a deal on a product you have on your shopping list, it can be a gamble whether you buy it when you see it or hold out to see if the price will go down again before the end of Cyber Monday. If it's something you particularly need, then it is a good idea to buy it as soon as you spot a good deal. That way you know you have it, and don't have to worry about it selling out.
If it's something that you then see significantly reduced, depending on your available finances, you could always buy it again and return the more expensive one. But make sure you know your consumer rights (opens in new tab) to avoid being left out of pocket.
But if what you're looking for is more of a 'nice-to-have' then it may be worth waiting to see if the price goes down again. But if it doesn't and you miss out, then it's worth adding it to a list to look out for in the Boxing Day or January sales instead.
Top tips for bagging a Cyber Monday deal
1. Do your research
Remember, a bargain is only a bargain if you were planning to buy it anyway, so carefully consider what you need to buy. Do some research to see where you can buy the item you're looking for and which is offering the cheapest price on Cyber Monday. Also make sure you check the before price or RRP to make sure you're getting a genuine deal.
If you are buying something from Amazon, check out the CamelCamelCamel (opens in new tab) Amazon price checker - it'll show you the historical pricing for the item you want to buy and you can see if the price on Cyber Monday is the cheapest price, or whether you can save even more by waiting until a different time of year.
2. Take into account any delivery fees
Factor in any charges for delivery that you might have to pay when shopping for a bargain. If you can get free delivery or do click and collect, that's a good idea, rather than paying an extra £4+ for delivery which will eat into the money you have saved.
3. Get cashback
Sign up to a cashback site (opens in new tab), and you can earn a bit of extra money on your purchases. It might only be a few pennies on any Cyber Monday purchases, but if you get into the habit of using a cashback site every time you shop online, the pennies will soon add up.
