Are Cyber Monday deals under $50 a good value?
While most Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales tend to focus on bigger items like TVs, laptops and major appliances, there are plenty of more affordable items you can snag for less during this massive sale event. That includes everyday basics like pillows and towels, as well as more budget-friendly gadgets like smart home essentials, earbuds and small kitchen appliances, which make great gifts or stocking stuffers. You definitely don’t have to spend a fortune to take advantage of these deals, and stocking up on these essentials can quickly stack up the savings.
Where can I find the best Cyber Monday deals under $50?
The Cyber Monday deals are in full swing at most major retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, Target and Walmart. Moreover, these sales will continue through for a couple of days after Cyber Monday. You can shop thousands of bargains right now, with more on the way. If you’re on the hunt for a specific product, you’ll also want to check the manufacturer’s online shop as well. Plenty of brands offer their own deals for Cyber Monday, and you may find some direct discounts or coupon code offers that have flown under the radar and aren’t being matched elsewhere.
Are Amazon’s deals better than Walmart or Target?
In general, Amazon’s deals may slightly outperform and result in lower prices than Walmart or Target’s deals and Amazon has the added benefit of free shipping for Prime members. But Amazon’s deals can shift throughout the day, so it’s worth comparing the same products between companies to make sure you’re getting the best price. And if you have Walmart Plus or a Target Circle Card, free shipping from your store or extra savings are other reasons to pick those retailers.
Are refurbished products worth buying under $50?
Buying refurbished products under $50 can be worth it if the deal is good enough and you won’t be too worried about buying it again in the future. You won’t know how much use the product will have had before getting refurbished, so stick with general use gadgets like kitchen appliances, smart speakers and other devices that can easily be swapped out in a few years. On the other hand, your refurbished item could’ve been quickly returned, so you might get away with a discount on an essentially unused item.
