Cyber Monday Proves to Be Giant Electronics Sale

 

SAN ANGELO, TX – Black Friday is over, and many shoppers have yet to find the perfect present. Fortunately, there is Cyber Monday, which gives consumers another opportunity to shop until they drop from the comforts of their home.

This year’s Cyber Monday, which falls on November 28, appears to be the best day to shop for electronics, including TVs, smartphones and game consoles. Stores such as BestBuy, Apple, Microsoft, EBay, and Walmart will mark down prices and save buyers hundreds of dollars. Below is a list of some of the hottest deals. However, LIVE! would like to remind buyers to use caution when entering sensitive information while shopping and to stay vigilant of online scams this holiday season.
