Instead of reserving its deals for Cyber Monday, Amazon.com instead has a week-long Black Friday sale beginning on the Monday before Thanksgiving.

Shop at Amazon.com
all week long

While many online retailers offer only one day of big savings on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, Amazon.com takes a different route: Each day for the week beginning the Monday before Thanksgiving, Amazon cycles through new deals at rock-bottom prices. The site features a completely new set of deals each day, so if you don’t see what you like on sale today, check back tomorrow.

What’s on sale

Visit Amazon’s Black Friday page to check out today’s Lightning Deals and the Gold Box Deal of the Day. Here is just a sampling of the discounts you may find:

• Brenda Women’s 5 Interchangable Band Watch Set for $20
• 57% off Alex Steven’s Men’s Ribbed Turtleneck
• All Clad Stainless Steel Stock Pot with Lid for $265
• 50% off an Easton 5ft Pop Up Multisport Training Net

Amazon also shows you how many of each lightening deal is left. If all the gifts are claimed, you’ll know so you can move on to the next item on your list. Keep checking their “Upcoming Deals” tab so you know which days are the most beneficial to you and which days you can sleep in.

Social media

Last year, Amazon.com announced its best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on its Twitter and Facebook accounts. If you aren’t following them,  it’s time to start so that you can snag the best bargains.
