It's Cyber Monday. Retailers have been pumping out offers for a few weeks, and we've been analysing this year's Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, helping you sort bargains from bull.
Don't get caught up in the hype. Before spending, ask yourself, do I need it? Can I afford it? If the answer's no to either, DON’T buy it. Remember, it's not a saving if you weren't going to buy it anyway.

Quick tips for finding the best Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals
1. Compare prices. Check sites such as Google Shopping or PriceRunner to see prices across retailers.
2. Track price history. Use tools such as CamelCamelCamel (Amazon prices) and PriceSpy (multiple retailers) to see if the Black Friday 'deal' is genuinely cheaper than its price throughout the year, as retailers often advertise discounts against the non-recent Recommended Retail Price (RRP).
3. Be wary of sales on one-off items. These encourage impulse buying. Look for across-store discounts on a wide range of products, as these are more likely to cover items already on your list.
4. Check department stores for brands. If a specific brand doesn't have the discount you want, check department stores (eg, La Redoute, Sainsbury's Tu) as they often have sales that include popular brands.

And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
