Black Friday Shoppers spent a record $9.8 billion online in the US according to Adobe analytics demand for high-end Electronics helped boost sales by more than 7% compared with last year analysts expect the spending bump to slow after Cyber Monday as retailers trim big discounts and so it is Cyber Monday but it sounds like people started shopping online over the weekend but it's Cyber Monday and consumers are searching for holiday deals more than 71 million SHO offers are expected to get online today making it the second most popular day of the year to shop so joining
us now is Bridget KY she's a senior editor for C it hey Bridget so this and you know how it goes everyone's going to go to work today they're going to be all industrious at 9 o00 and then as soon as their first coffee break hits 11:25 they're going to be online shopping so we're going to give them the tips that they need for around 11:25 when they start implementing them first thing of course you want to get the best deal so how do you comparison shop yeah for sure and I was going to say
like unless you already started shopping yesterday because I feel like Black Friday and Cyber Monday just kind of mushed into one long weekend but yeah you we have the power we have a lot of tools at our disposal now to have a bunch of tabs open in comparison shop some people use browser extensions this is like a tool you can download on your browser to compare prices right at checkout and really I wouldn't experiment with new things if you've never done a browser extension you could just do something like simple Google uh type in the
name of the product I have personally found that oh that deal wasn't really a deal I'm gonna go just boop boop over to another website also look for delivery dates it's another little thing that sometimes gets you you might you might think the place you normally shop from has the best deal until you get to check out and it's like oh that arrives in January that happened to me the other day so like maybe take a little breath before you hit buy and check out that that's really good advice cuz I have done that and
then I'm like oh you're coming from China okay just in time for spring um what about the big deals what are the sort of the best things to buy on Cyber Monday really this whole thing is about the big ticket items and really people are comparison shopping to shop for things that they really know they want uh but I've seen the biggest deals on Tech when it comes to like Apple products everyone kind of like looks to that normally it's hard to find a sale on that throughout the normal year so iPad we're seeing a
really big discount on the ninth generation model you can save $100 uh and you know what it's not the newest model but iPad is still great even if you get an older model also seen the brand new Apple watch series 9 still discounted at $70 off so it's about $330 that one just came out in September uh everyone's looking for the new airpods Pro 2 USBC model because now everything has a USBC attachment so look for things like that if you know someone who is moving to USBC in their iPhone they're going to want all
the accessories that also have that we saw that at $60 off too but TVs always big discounts and I would say when it comes to games everyone cares about gaming systems a lot uh you're you're going to look for bundles because the the consoles themselves aren't new they're not going to sell out but what's going to sell out are those bundles where like the Nintendo switch with the Mario the or the Super Smash Brothers game or the SP or the PS5 with the Spider-Man 2 game that's what you're going to be looking for well that
sounds good you you've given me some things to like hint at for my holiday wish list uh brid Harry thank you very much thanks for having me
