Following the Black Friday shopping frenzy, the battle for consumers’ cash moves into cyberspace with what is set to be one of the biggest days of the year for online purchases.
Shoppers are expected to spend £650m online on Cyber Monday, with some stores offering discounts of up to 70%.
Here is a round-up of some of the best offers available.
Amazon
The online retailer is releasing new offers, including discounts on TomTom satnavs and Sennheiser headphones, every 10 minutes.
Shoppers can get £100 off a Kindle Fire HDX Tablet all week, subject to availability. But most deals are time limited, so you have to move fast if you want 50% off a Kerbi cat house or 61% off a three-pack of patterned ladies socks.
Halfords
The specialist bike retailer has slashed the prices of scores of products. A Motobike children’s bike is on sale for £88, down from £200, while its Apollo Cherry Lane model will save shoppers £110 at its discounted price of £70. The retailer is also offering cutprice satnav systems, with TomTom products reduced to £99.99, down from £139.99.
Argos
Argos is continuing its Black Friday discounts with money off a huge range of products on Monday, as well as a £5 voucher when you spend £50 and a £10 voucher when you spend £100. Discounts include an iPad mini for £179, a saving of £70, and a Canon Powershot SX510 digital camera for £119.99, down from £279.99.
BT
The telecoms firm is today offering 58% off an annual package of unlimited broadband and weekend calls, as well as 49% off the annual cost of its unlimited BT Infinity 1 broadband and weekend calls package. New customers will also receive a £50 Sainsbury’s gift card.
Carphone Warehouse
The phone shop is running a “flash sale” until midnight on Tuesday 2 December, with the promise of big savings in store and online. One of the biggest ticket savings is the HTC One M8 phone, which comes with 1,000 minutes of monthly calls and 4G data allowance for £24.99 a month, down from the original price of £59.99.
Currys
The technology and household appliance store continues its “black tag” sale until Wednesday 3 December. Some of the best deals have been snapped up, but on Monday morning shoppers could still get 70% off the Delonghi Dolce Gusto Mini Me coffee maker. The machine costs £29, down from £99.99. A 24-inch Samsung LED TV was £149, down from £309.99

Clothing
The long weekend of discounting might be most associated with electronic gadgets, but clothing retailers are by no means ignoring it. Shoppers using discount website vouchercodes.co.uk can get 25% off a huge number of high street brands, including Whistles, New Look, Clarks, BHS, Ralph Lauren, and Fenn Wright Mason. Savings of 30% are available for F&F, the Tesco clothing brand, and Boden. Gap is offering 40% off and free delivery.
Debenhams
Online shoppers can get 15% off perfumes and make-up including Chanel and MAC cosmetics, as well as 50% off womens’ clothes and children’s toys. In most cases, these are web-only discounts and shoppers need to enter the code MON15.
