Tuesday,
26th is BF but "BF" offers are on now although quite how they differ from normal reductions is questionable. Have bought a pair of cycling shoes as I have a well used patched up pair that the cleat bolts now will not tighten up properly in and a bookcase to replace one where the books are holding the shelves up! That was reduced by 11% so not the biggest saving but at least it was in stock. Better than one was that on sale was a higher price than normal!
Only Amazon and not wholly reliable, just looked up a smartphone on it - no stock or mid £200s. Googled it, link to Amazon at £152.

Good question. Cyber Monday is OK so far.
I’d used it in the past to track historic prices, and received alerts about items that I’d forgotten I was tracking. As you said, it’s Amazon specific which I should have mentioned

There's a (really bad) folding electric e-bike advertised in the Amazon Black Friday sale. Trouble is, the "reduced bargain price" is higher than on the manufacturer's website.
Simplest way to check for a bargain is to Google the item and see the range of prices that come up from other suppliers.

BF deals have been so over-sed and over-exploited in the last few years that they are nearing meaningless now. Both Amzon and Fleaby have usual "today's deals" every day of the year. When you select BF deals, it just links to the usual daily deals page. I'm making my sister and brother-in-law a chopping board and will try to give wooden presents as much as I can this year! My Mum has been saying for years "you don't need to go overboard, it's silly", but my sister keeps ruining it every year by spending loads on everyone! We've got a good enough relationship for me to not care, I get her something thoughtful and cheap, and she is always grateful

Thanksgiving is always a Thursday - the fourth Thursday in November, which means the last Thursday unless the 1st or 2nd of November is a Thursday.

If there is something I need/want, then I'll keep an eye on prices, see if they do drop this week. We did actually get a good deal on our new cooker last year, after we'd been looking at prices for a few weeks.
But yes, it is definitely over-hyped, and is just a way for retailers to get rid of surplus stock. So don't expect any good deals on bike stuff, where there are stock shortages rather than surplus at the moment.
