The answer is that you should shop both sales to make save the most. The reason for this is that Cyber Monday deals are not better than Black Friday deals. Retailers offer different deals on Cyber Monday than on Black Friday.

As the Black Friday online sales is now establishing itself fully on Thanksgiving Day we see an increase in the sales volume. While analyst still see Cyber Monday 2014 having a higher sales volume, Black Thanksgiving Day is catching up. The combination of a Holiday and more doorbuster deals being also available online make Black Thanksgiving bigger.

So my advice. Don’t waste time contemplating which sale is better and rather look at the deals at hand. The Black Friday 2014 deals are on sale now already. For instance you can get the Lego Movie Blu-ray for $3.99 now on Best Buy. Don’t expect such a deal on Cyber Monday.
