What is Cyber Monday 2016, when is it and which UK retailers are offering deals?

BLACK Friday has made a name for itself as one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

But you'd be a fool to forget about Cyber Monday - a UK tradition where online retailers slash their prices just three days after Black Friday.

Cyber Monday is a strictly 24 hour online shopping window but Black Friday tends to be a five day long affair.

This year, websites will reduce their prices for 24 hours TODAY - with most having started their deals at exactly midnight.

Just like Black Friday, you can expect deals on appliances, gadgets and games - with last year offering exclusive online-only bargains on PlayStations, cameras and Apple products.

Which stores are taking part in Cyber Monday?

Cyber Monday is here! These are the shops where you can get some great start of the week deals


Amazon - Cyber Monday rounds off a mammoth two weeks of discounts on Amazon with big savings on a huge range of reduced products and more offers added as frequently as every five minutes.
Argos - Argos is one of the biggest retailers to take part in the Black Friday/Cyber Monday extravaganza with deals on TVs, games consoles, laptops, cameras and toys.
Tesco - Tesco has slashed priced on tech with incredible deals on TVs, consoles and toys.
Sainsbury's - Sainsbury's kept a low profile in the run up to the shopping event but has released deals on home appliances and electricals.
Smyth's - Head to Smyth's for some cracking deals on children's games and toys, perfect for just before Christmas.
Currys - Currys is a one stop shop for electrical items this Cyber Monday with reductions on TVs, laptops and speakers.
John Lewis - With discounts across all departments John Lewis have plenty of opportunities for savings, especially in the kitchen with a KitchenAid mixer down to just £299.99 from £449.95.
GAME - GAME has huge deals available on their PS4 and X-box bundles, ideal for Chirstmas gifts.

Many retailers, such as Smyth's toystore, will carry their Black Friday discounts right through to Cyber Monday, so no need to panic if you miss out.

For the first time ever, Apple have participated in Black Friday - with their 'one day shopping event'.

However, if you're still looking to get a bargain on Apple products, it is expected that Currys PC World will be offering discounts on Cyber Monday.

But as it's online, get ready for a lot more choice that you might see in store - and a lot more time to shop, as obviously you don't even need to get out of bed to take advantage of low prices.

Retailers usually keep their Cyber Monday deals a secret until the very last minute - but you can also expect great prices on fashion and beauty products at premium department stores such as John Lewis.

Last year, UK shoppers dropped £968m on Cyber Monday deals.

That's not quite as much as the £1.1bn splashed on Black Friday - but it's still considerably more than the £720m spent on Cyber Monday 2014.
