Money expert gives tips on best Cyber Monday deals

(NewsNation) — Black Friday may be over but the holiday shopping season has just begun, as retail experts predict consumers are ready to take advantage of Cyber Monday deals and will bring in record numbers, even amid historic inflation.

Despite Adobe Analytics’ Black Friday sales projections being up a modest 1%, Cyber Monday is forecasted to be the season’s biggest online shopping day, driving $11.2 billion in spending.

Woroch says the best deals will be on clothing, footwear and beauty items and that, for electronics, to look in stores like Apple, Best Buy, Walmart and Target.
