With the advent of the Internet, online shopping became popular, and with online shopping, sales became popular to lure customers.
Over the past few years, Cyber Monday—an online shopping event meant to compete with Black Friday—has been gaining in popularity.
Often, the deals are tech-related—computers, tablets, phones and mp3 players, but other types of goods are being offered.
Sites like CyberMonday feature links to sites with some of the better deals out there.
