Likewise, Cyber Monday is the first Monday after Black Friday, which means Cyber Monday this year will fall on Monday, December 2. That gives you roughy a week or so to get your shopping list in order.

Walmart is celebrating Black Friday and Cyber Monday this year with three separate sales events. While the first event has already begun, the company announced plans for the second Black Friday event and Cyber Monday on Monday.
