Black Friday is falling on November 29, and Cyber Monday is falling on December 2. Both of the days are just 3 days apart but are considered two of the best days for shopping worldwide due to the discounts offered. Due to this, it sometimes becomes difficult for shoppers to decide which one they should choose.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday come with their own advantages. While Black Friday is great for in-store deals and big discounts on items like electronics and appliances, Cyber Monday focuses more on online shopping, with huge discounts on fashion and gadgets.

Walmart has started its Black Friday sale on November 25 which runs till December 1. In this, they're also giving 50% off on Walmart+. Their Cyber Monday deals start early on Sunday, December 1, at 5 p.m. ET for Walmart+ members. The sale opens to all customers at 8 p.m. ET and runs until midnight on Monday, December 2.

To know which one you should choose, you should have a list of the items you want to buy. It's better to subscribe to these stores to stay updated when the sale goes live. Lastly, it's better to compare deals to know which one suits the budget and needs.

Since both Black Friday and Cyber Monday fall simultaneously, the retail stores are blurring the line between the two, which leads to the rollover of many deals, making it less about the day and more about the item you’re after. If you want to shop smart, plan ahead and track deals across both events to get the best bargains.


Black Friday and Cyber Monday provide an opportunity for customers to obtain their favorite products at discounts. As more and more retail shops hold their own sale, the options for shoppers multiply, increasing the chances of saving. Also, if you miss buying an item on the Black Friday sale, you'll still have Cyber Monday to rely on, giving you one more chance to grab the deal.
