Best Cyber Monday deals 2023: final discounts on the tech you love

When the best Black Friday deals come to an end, Cyber Monday arrives hot on its heels, bringing an extra day of bargains which traditionally ends at midnight on Monday.

At T3, we've covered the Cyber Monday sales for over half a decade, so we're pretty confident that we can find the best deals from the sales event and we can also identify which sales aren't worth it, too!

Many of the big retailers won't officially start calling their sales 'Cyber Monday' until the day itself – unlike Black Friday, which seemed to start in October this year! That doesn't mean there aren't deals available early though. Many of the Black Friday deals will continue all the way through the weekend, with prices fluctuating as they go.  

In this guide, we'll be taking you through what you can expect in the Cyber Monday deals in 2023 and rounding up the best deals so far. Keep checking back as we'll be updating this page as new deals drop.

What will the best Cyber Monday deals be in 2023?

As Cyber Monday is directly after the Black Friday sales, we imagine a lot of the Black Friday price drops will still be available on Cyber Monday. Of course, we can't know for sure yet what is going to be discounted this Cyber Monday, but below are our best predictions.

As Cyber Monday is more tech-focused than Black Friday and have been for years, we anticipate many consumer tech deals, including TVs, laptops, tablets, speakers, headphones and monitors. Other than that, large appliances will probably have special Cyber Monday deals, so keep an eye out for low prices on washing machines, fridge freezers, dishwashers, ovens, hobs, microwaves, coffee machines, kettles and toasters.

Going off of what did well last year, gamers will definitely be involved in the Cyber Monday sale. Last year, we saw some amazing PS5 gaming deals from a variety of retailers. This year, we expect some great deals on the consoles themselves in both the UK and US.

Finally, we'd also expect to see streaming service deals. Last year, NOW TV had 40% off in the Cyber Monday sale so we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for something similar in 2023.

Cyber Monday shopping tips & tricks

To score the very best Cyber Monday deals this year, you need to be prepared, which is where T3 come in. Below, we've listed our tips and tricks that can help you score the best deals from thousands of retailers, this Cyber Monday.

1. Create a wish list

When it comes to buying anything, especially during a big sales event like Cyber Monday, it's important to have a wish list. By creating a list of products that you want, this helps you focus on what you need so you're not unnecessarily spending your money on random things. We all get excited when we see that something is 90% off... but do you need it? If the answer is no and most importantly, if it's not on your wish list, leave it! No one wants buyers remorse, after all.

2. Do the research

When you put together your wish list, it's also a good idea to do some research on the product that you want and the retailer you intend to buy it from. By doing your research in advance, you can identify a selection of well reviewed models and then look out for discounts on them, rather than dropping money blindly on a discounted item that could offer sub-standard performance. It's also worth looking into the retailer you're shopping at. It's all well and good getting a new TV at a super cheap price but if it's not being delivered until January... is it worth it? Check delivery times, cashback guarantees and reviews to make sure you're buying from a trustworthy place.

3. Shop a year behind

It's a well-known fact that the Cyber Monday sales are a way for retailers to shift out the last of the current year's stock in preparation for the new year's models. Many of the best deals are on top products that are a year or more old, and while you might think you're getting an 'old' or 'tried' model, they're actually at the top of their prime.

4. Focus on the price rather than the savings

Retailers often try to shock or fool shoppers by advertising how much you'll save rather than its price. This is almost always because the saving has been artificially created. For example, retailers might reach the saving figure by benchmarking it against the products original RRP. It will almost certainly not have been at this price for months or even years, so the saving is actually fake.

Another way retailers try to pull the wool over deal-hunters' eyes is by jacking up a products price in the months leading up to Cyber Monday, so when the product 'drops' in price, you think you're saving more than you are. Just like tip 2, make sure to research a product's price at as many retailers as possible, and you can use price history sites like camelcamelcamel.com.

5. Remember the winter holiday season sales

Finally, remember that you don't have to buy something on Cyber Monday, especially if you're a little strapped for cash. The cost of living crisis has been terrible this year so we wouldn't blame you for waiting until the last minute to buy your Christmas presents. If this is the case, remember that there's plenty of time to buy gifts in December, plus many retailers and brands will run their winter holiday season sales almost as soon as we enter the festive month.

The history behind Cyber Monday

Cyber Monday was coined in 2005 and used in the ecommerce community during that year's holiday season. Research had shown that one of the biggest online shopping days of the year was actually the Monday after Thanksgiving, with analysts putting this down to the fact that people returned to work where they had access to the internet.

It sounds funny now in 2023 that people would have to wait to shop online, but back in 2005, many people did not have access to fast home internet and online shopping was nowhere near as developed as it is now.

Since then, Cyber Monday has grown into a massive online sales event. This year, Black Friday 2023 is being tipped to be the biggest event ever, so there will be plenty of opportunities to bag top deals, and we're sure to see further price drops on Cyber Monday.
