Black Friday is no longer the big day for savings. While it still offers some serious sales, the Friday after Thanksgiving has been bested by Cyber Monday. And that translates to bigger deals. Not only have a lot of retailers turned Black Friday into an extended (often weeklong) affair but according to the numbers, Cyber Monday’s actually become the bigger sale day recently. From deep discounts on electronics and watches to sales on outdoor gear and Lego playsets, here are the best Cyber Monday deals.
