The Mashable shopping team generally considers Black Friday to be a better shopping day than Cyber Monday, but only by a hair. While most holiday deals that pop up on Black Friday tend to linger through Cyber Monday, the selection is best early on, and only in rare cases do discounts improve over the course of the weekend. When it does happen, we want to make sure our readers are clued in.
So far, my colleagues and I have stumbled upon eight Black Friday deals at Amazon and Best Buy that have gotten better now that both retailers are in Cyber Monday mode. Most of the price discrepancies are pretty significant, too. In the biggest instance, Samsung’s 55-inch The Frame 4K QLED TV is a whopping $100 cheaper on Amazon now compared to 48 hours ago. Meanwhile, it’s $102 pricier at Best Buy and Samsung’s website.
If you purchased one of these items at a higher price and want to get reimbursed for the difference, keep in mind that price protection policies vary from retailer to retailer. Best Buy will honor better deals on almost anything you’ve bought there since Oct. 31, but Amazon doesn’t offer any sort of price adjustments. You’ll need to return and rebuy previous Amazon purchases that are now cheaper. (My take: Most of the following deals are definitely worth the hassle.)
