When does best buy cyber monday deals end

UPDATE: Nov. 28, 2022, 12:30 p.m. EST This story has been updated with the latest information about Best Buy's Cyber Monday sale.

Retailers have been pushing the definition of what qualifies as a "Black Friday sale" for years, but Amazon's second Prime event in mid-October got everyone in Holiday Deals Mode™️ earlier than ever before. Black Friday felt more like a vibe than an event in 2022, and the same goes for Cyber Monday.

Best Buy is a perfect example of this phenomenon in action. While the electronic store's main Black Friday event kicked off on Sunday, Nov. 20, it's technically been offering Black Friday deals since Oct. 24. (And even before then, a 48-hour flash sale offered a sneak peek from Oct. 11 through 12.) That also marked the beginning of its extended holiday return policy: Almost any items(opens in a new tab) purchased at Best Buy through Dec. 31 can be returned through Jan. 14, 2023.

It's a strange twist from the retailer that used to draw throngs of campers outside its stores in eager anticipation of one-day doorbusters.

True to form, the store's Cyber Monday sale also started early on Sunday. That all said, the types of deals you'll encounter at Best Buy this Cyber Monday aren't anything we haven't seen in years prior. It's still one of the best places to grab a fancy QLED 4K TV, computer monitor, Apple device, or smart home gadget on sale, tacking on freebies like streaming trials and security software subscriptions on top of unrivaled discounts.

Shoppers who perused Best Buy's Black Friday offers weeks ago will notice that it's brought some of its older offers back for Cyber Monday — that includes $90 Samsung Galaxy Buds 2(opens in a new tab), a $100 Lenovo Ideapad 1i(opens in a new tab), and a $1,500 75-inch LG Mini-LED TV(opens in a new tab), the latter being a former "Member Mondays" exclusive for My Best Buy(opens in a new tab) and Best Buy Totaltech(opens in a new tab) subscribers.

But don't get too comfy. Many Cyber Monday deals at Best Buy are available in limited quantities with no rainchecks; if an item sells out at any point, it may be gone for good at that price. (Also important is the fact that Best Buy's price-match guarantee(opens in a new tab) is null and void through Cyber Monday.) If you see a good deal on something you've been meaning to buy, our advice is to order it ASAP.

We'll be keeping a running list of Best Buy's most "worth-it" Cyber Monday deals below in case you don't feel like poring through the sale yourself — it's massive. Highlights so far include a new record-low on the second-generation Apple AirPods Pro(opens in a new tab), a $50 discount on the Xbox Series S Holiday Console(opens in a new tab), and a $150 price drop on a Dyson vacuum(opens in a new tab) (with a laser!) that got a fantastic review from Mashable writer, Leah Stodart.

Note: Any newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while deals with a strikeout were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

The Best Buy Cyber Monday sale has historically been the perfect time to update any home appliances for cheap, or bag some killer bargains on tech. However, many shoppers also aren't sure whether it's worth waiting out the frenzied weekend to see what's left. Here, we'll be running down what we learned from last year's Best Buy Cyber Monday sales, and how to make the most of what's on offer.

Last year, we saw a hugely extended shopping period, with Best Buy's deals leading up to Cyber Monday start near the start of November. This meant that many shoppers got their spending out the way well before any named sales began. Best Buy likely did this to alleviate any stock issues (worries of which were largely unfounded except for the most popular items), meaning when Cyber Monday rolled around, many of the deals had been in and out for weeks.

However, for those looking for products like headphones and cheap TVs, prices remained low and Cyber Monday proved a great time to buy. It's worth noting, however, that compared to years ago, there was less of a push for exclusive Cyber Monday deals, and instead deals lasted for longer, or until they sold out.

Despite the buzz before the weekend, though, Cyber Monday was still the biggest online selling day of the shopping period, with customers spending $10.7 billion over the course of the day, according to Adobe (opens in new tab). That's a little less than we saw in 2020, but it's still clear that people aren't afraid to wait throughout the weekend in order to bag an exclusive Cyber Monday offer.

It's a minefield, we know. So, here we've put together an all-we-know piece about the Best Buy Cyber Monday sale, if it's worth waiting for, and what you can expect to see on offer.

When does the Best Buy Cyber Monday sale start?

In 2022, Cyber Monday officially hits on November 28, immediately leading on from the weeks of sales preceding it. We also predict that a number of deals will last through until at least Tuesday, tailing off towards the end of the week. 

Is it worth waiting for the Best Buy Cyber Monday sale?

This is a tricky one because, as we said above, Best Buy focused a lot of its energy into early November sales, which saw weekend-level prices stretch out for weeks before. In turn, this had the effect of weakening Cyber Monday's appeal, and while a huge amount of money was spent on Monday, we didn't notice many incredible deals we hadn't seen before.

If we're honest, we'd probably advise you to grab what you want when you see it, rather than waiting around for mega deals that might not end up materializing. However, if you're too busy to get online and have a proper browse over the weekend, Cyber Monday still offers a great opportunity to bag a bargain, since almost all deals roll over from the weekend.

Will there be any stock left for Best Buy Cyber Monday?

In short – yes. Last year we saw retailers carefully control their stock levels, meaning that while some items did go out of stock over the weekend, come Cyber Monday they were back on the shelves. That's important to know, because a major fear is that the best items are likely to fly out the door as soon as Friday hits (or even before), never to restock again. 

Do note, though, that for some in-demand items like the PS5, there may well be only one round of sales over the weekend, but for many other products, they're likely to come back into stock at some point on Monday.

How Long Does Cyber Monday sale last?

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.

How long do Best Buy deals usually last?

Best Buy's Deal of the Day offers low prices on great products from across all of Best Buy's categories. These online offers are available for up to 24 hours or until they're sold out.

Does Cyber Monday last past Monday?

Although Cyber Monday has "Monday" right there in it's name, many sales have historically lasted past the end of Monday. These will usually come in the form of retailers adjusting their wording to things like "Cyber Week Deals" and "Holiday Sales", but the deals are often very similar.
