Wal-Mart Stores Inc.is making all of its online discounts available starting at 7 p.m Sunday (Nov. 20). The “this” the Consumerist was referring to is the endless stream of “Black Friday” promotionsearly Black Friday sales, September Black Friday deals, even some mentions of “Black November ” that shoppers can’t escape at this time of year. Case in point: Target, which is going for broke November 30 with an unprecedented 15 percent off its entire online assortment.

According to BGR.com, Target will be giving out special rates to its online customers.
Conducted online by an independent research company from November 16 to November 17, 2015, the study polled a national sample of 1,000 consumers and found that shoppers plan to spend $369 between Thanksgiving Day and Cyber Monday, almost a 25 percent increase from the results of Deloitte’s survey past year. In the previous years, the big-box retailer broke its sales record on different days of the Black Friday weekend, with a number of items on sale on one day but not on the other days. With that much cash on the line, most retailers are opting to stay open on Black Friday, while others will open up earlier on Thanksgiving Day.
The same holds true for physical stores on Black Friday. “The customers have changed but Cyber Monday hasn’t changed with them”, Madeira told Reuters. The discount retailer is poised to attract those same shoppers who want more sales and discounts, but can’t wait until Monday. But not this year, at least, not if you decide to go shopping at Walmart. Walmart says more deals will be unveiled as Cyber Monday approaches.
Cyber Monday is a shopping phenomenon that started years ago by shoppers who wanted to continue shopping after Black Friday, or who wanted to skip Black Friday altogether.
While not all of the Cyber Monday 2015 deals for Walmart are revealed, among some of the hottest items are 4K TVs, 3D printers, Fitbits, drones, toys and products pertaining to Star Wars.
