With Thanksgiving next week, the holiday shopping season is quickly approaching, and shoppers are weighing which deals offer the best value: Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
In recent years, discounts traditionally offered in stores on Black Friday have expanded to online deals that last the entire month of November.
Despite this, many shoppers still prefer to make purchases on Black Friday itself. Last year, about 80 million people shopped on Black Friday, both online and in person, with online shopping outpacing in-store participation.
Shoppers differ on which day they prefer.
Some enjoy the in-person experience of Black Friday, citing long lines, late-night openings, and the thrill of hunting for bargains. Others favor Cyber Monday for convenience, especially when buying clothes or items that are easy to order online without needing to try them on in stores.
Experts say prices vary each year, and deals on the two days are sometimes comparable. Shoppers are encouraged to compare carefully and choose the timing that best fits their budget and shopping style.
