Question about Cyber Monday

11wordisbond · Nov 18, 2013

I'm from Toronto and I've never reached up there for the Black Friday thing. I'm looking to order some stuff online, and I'm hoping someone could answer this question. Is the stuff that the department stores sell on Cyber Monday, the inventory that doesn't sell from Black Friday? Or is it set aside specifically for the online sale?

Not sure if I should cop what I want online now, or wait till Cyber Monday and risk my size selling out. What y'all think?

Yes and no. There are some sales that cater specifically towards Cyber Monday, but typically the things you'll see on Cyber Monday are the leftovers from Black Friday. Especially in department stores.

A word to the wise, though: many of the things that people rush out to buy during Black Friday are actually cheaper during other times of the year.

While the pic is for 2013, this is pretty much the same each year. With the exception of electronics and appliances, you're better off waiting to buy some things.
