It's almost weird that Cyber Monday is still a thing.

There used to be clear-cut lines between Black Friday and the Monday after, but now, most retailers and vendors -- even the brick and mortar ones -- hold their sales online. And they often start a full week before Thanksgiving and last for weeks.

This year, Cyber Monday will be Nov. 26. Every site -- from Amazon to Walmart -- is discounting several devices for the "holiday." But keep in mind many of these deals are extensions from Black Friday. They'll be live throughout the end of November and into December.

          When is Cyber Monday?

          Cyber Monday 2018 begins on the Monday following Black Friday. This year, it's on Nov. 26.

          How is Cyber Monday different from Black Friday?

          Historically, Cyber Monday has been a single day of online sales, but now, it's a week-long event (called Cyber Week) that follows weeks of pre-Black Friday and Black Friday sales.

          As for Black Friday, it used to be an in-store-only, one-day only sale at brick-and-mortar shops. Now, it has taken over the month of November and is available online, too. So, both are fairly similar, with the exception being you will see more hype surrounding Black Friday.

          Should you skip Black Friday?

          No. Although Cyber Monday and Black Friday have basically become the same thing, it's worth paying special attention to Black Friday deals. With savings both in-store and online, the item you want will most likely be discounted. If you wait until Cyber Monday, you might miss a great deal. Traditionally, Cyber Monday tends to have fewer deals available, and of course, it's only online.

          How do you know when a deal is a good deal?

          Easy. You can check our guide here. But if you want to do some leg work yourself, we recommend using price trackers and checkers. There's a website called camelcamelcamel that allows you to view price history for over 18 million products on Amazon. There is also a Chrome extension called WikiBuy that'll tell if you an item is listed cheaper elsewhere.

          But the best advice we have is to just compare prices at other retailers and vendors. It isn't easy, but if you want to save money, it's worth it.

          What can you expect from Cyber Monday?

          Your guess is as good as ours, but thankfully, we can look at past years to determine what to expect. Here are our best predictions:

          • Amazon will continue to have sales on its own devices. It'll also have limited-time flash sales on products from other manufacturers.
          • Walmart will offer sales on everything from 4K TVs to laptops.
          • Best Buy will try to get you to shop at its store versus Amazon or Walmart, so there will likely be deep discounts across several tech categories.
          • eBay will have sales on everything from sneakers to smartwatches.

          You get the idea. Deals galore.

          Which retailers will have the best Cyber Monday deals?

          Glad you asked! We rounded them up above.
