That depends on what people are looking for and where they shop. All brick and mortar , as well as online , have different target markets. Therefore, some might have better deals in person while others might have better deals online. Given the pandemic this year, there is a good chance that many retailers will limit the number of shoppers they have in their and likely use the internet to host their best deals.

Larmore Smith, owner of HugeCyberMondayDeals.com stated the following:

” There is no right answer to this question. However, what I believe makes this question tough for consumers is that many shoppers can’t distinguish between the two sales anymore. Black Friday was a completely in-store event but now its has turn into both an in-store and online shopping event. Whereas Cyber Monday was just a one-day online shopping event but now you have ‘Cyber Week’, ‘Cyber Month’, ‘Cyber Monday Extended’ and so forth.

On top of that, items consumers are buying the most during these days or items that retailers are advertising the most doesn’t necessarily make these items the best deals. 

Always compare prices before and during these big shopping sale events. Just because you see the words “Sales” or “Discounts” next to an item doesn’t necessarily make the item a good deal from that particular retailer – compare the price with several other retailers before purchasing. 

Adobe, releases a yearly digital insights report which includes shopping behaviors and analytics for sales events such as Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, etc.  Last year, Sporting Goods and Appliances was the best overall deals for Black Friday. Televisions was the most discounted during Cyber Monday. 

I can’t say I 100% agree with Adobe analytics, as someone who has been covering and listing online Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals for over 10 years. I have see it all including deals that were advertise in both Black Friday & Cyber Monday ads but was actually available and cheaper weeks before the event or seeing better Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals in certain categories in other months. 

Overall, just shop smart during these big sale events and that includes, creating a list, using price trackers such as Honey & CamelCamelCamel, comparing prices, having a go to Cyber Monday source and cash-back site such as ours and using cash-back credit cards. If a deal is a great deal don’t wait too long to pull the trigger due in-stock demand and frequent price changes.”
