- This is what not to buy Cyber Monday 2020.
What you should buy as well,
but deals you really wanna stay away from.
Welcome back to my YouTube channel,
I'm The YouTube Deal Guy, Matt Granite
and I'm excited to have you guys here. (claps)
Cyber Monday right around the corner.
When is Cyber Monday 2020?
It's Monday, November 30th, 2020.
And I will be here to ensure
that you get every major Cyber Monday deal
from Black Friday, Walmart, Target, you name it,
Amazon, I'm here for you,
but I also wanna make sure you don't overspend
on categories where there's no deal whatsoever.
If you wanna get my Cyber Monday deals delivered to you,
and I'm very excited about these,
you're welcome to join my insider deal guide texting club,
440 298 2181 is my personal phone.
440 298 2181, drop me a line. Let me know you want them.
And then if you have your notifications turned on
for this channel and you are subscribed,
I promise to hook you up.
Alright, and I am going to talk about TVs, laptops, toys,
but in the number one spot
of what I would not buy Cyber Monday, laptops,
but a very specific type of laptop.
I know you guys are looking like, wait,
Cyber Monday was built for computers, it is.
The entry-level laptops,
which were always a better deal on Black Friday
are not as pronounced in terms of savings on Cyber Monday.
So this low-end laptop that you see right now
or lower-end laptop, not a great Cyber Monday purchase.
The better purchases are the intermediate
and high-end laptops.
Specifically as well, computer parts,
computer's accessories, solid state drives, RAM.
Those are great purchases on Cyber Monday,
but the entry-level laptops are not.
In the number two spot
of what I would not buy Cyber Monday 2020, soundbars.
A lot of the entry-level TV deals
that we see on Black Friday
have all these crazy soundbar offerings
'cause stores assume that if you buy a TV,
you're likely to buy a soundbar.
Cyber Monday, we actually see better deals tied
to those theaters in a box.
So yes, there's a soundbar component,
but they're the higher-end wireless subwoofer.
You get your tweeters, your extra speakers, the HDR support,
rather than the standalone sandbars,
which we saw in Black Friday
like a $50 off Bose Solo soundbar.
That's a great Black Friday deal.
The more comprehensive soundbars
are a better purchase on Cyber Monday.
In the third spot of what I would not buy Cyber Monday,
and I will talk about gaming in a few moments, appliances.
And this comes with an asterisk.
Appliances are not a great grab Cyber Monday,
more in terms of I don't want you to feel pressured.
Home Depot, Lowe's, if you actually read their fine print,
they'll keep many of their best appliance deals running
to the December 2nd mark for Home Depot,
Lowe's December 3rd,
but that's certainly not your last chance.
So if you don't have the money right now for an appliance
or you are saving up,
you're gonna find some great grabs
that echo what we saw at Black Friday and Cyber Monday
at the end of the year, hold off it's okay.
In the number four spot,
and I hope my wife is watching this,
'cause she missed it on my Black Friday video,
don't buy winter clothing.
That means coats, accessories, scarves.
You're going to find many better deals
as we inch closer to Christmas.
If you are looking at some of the store-wide sales,
I would buy things that aren't specifically tied to winter
because you will get a better...
Ooh, she looks like she might be cold in this.
You will get a winter clothing deal that's better
if you wait closer to Christmas.
How's your new year's resolution going?
Oh, wait, what?
It's November.
You didn't set one yet?
Well in the number five spot
of what I wouldn't buy Cyber Monday 2020, fitness.
If you look at the sub-par offerings you see right now,
fitness items are not a good purchase on Cyber Monday.
I know you guys are looking at me right now
and you're thinking, wow,
this guy is gonna tell me about fitness.
I know, I might've only been in the gym twice
in the last three years, but I do study prices drops
for a living and fitness items are not a good purchase
as a whole on Cyber Monday.
In the number six spot
of what I would not buy Cyber Monday and more importantly
what you're really not going to see much of
and I really feel badly for anyone
that held off buying many of the Black Friday TV deals
or the days leading up to Black Friday,
where there are some great deals.
What we see Cyber Monday
are just kind of Black Friday TV rejects.
You will see some deals from Sony and Samsung
on Cyber Monday 2020 if they drop.
There'll be few and far between,
and I'll have them on my list.
As a whole, the TVs that are manufactured specifically
for Black Friday have 60 Hertz processor,
a few HDMI ports and untraceable models
where you can't really cross compare year to year.
Whatever it doesn't sell Black Friday just gets pushed on
over to Cyber Monday and the low-end TVs,
not a great grab on Cyber Monday.
But the good news is if there is a high-end deal,
they'll drop now, there'll be a couple of opportunities
before the end of the year and I will have them.
And again, I'm gonna get to toys and gaming in a moment,
but let's go to the number seven spot
of what I would not buy Cyber Monday.
And that answer is a car,
or more importantly, buying a new or used car.
Actually, let me close my picture-in-picture window
with my oversize head for a moment
so you can look at what I just did.
You guys see the built for the holidays sales event?
Ford's being quite accurate,
where they have the Christmas tree depiction right here.
If you wait until Christmas
or more particularly Christmas eve,
you're gonna get an amazing deal on a vehicle versus any
of those sweeping Cyber Monday events.
I can't remember what year it was,
but I did a breakdown of the best times
to buy a car for USA today money
and I compared Cyber Monday to Christmas eve.
And if you waited until Christmas eve,
you'll actually get sometimes 10% more cash back
in your pocket based on incentives.
So I would wait.
In the number eight spot
of what I would not buy Cyber Monday, not just this,
but this thing too.
Lego, other toys,
whatever my two-year-old daughter wants this year.
Gotta fix my tie. Let's just.
Alright, toys are just not a great grab.
You might have heard this
in my Black Friday what not to buy video,
but my what not to buy this year Cyber Monday 2020
does include toys
because the closer you wait to Christmas,
the better the deals will be.
All of the major retailers will offer some great toy deals.
More specifically, there's Green Monday,
which is like Cyber Monday part two,
where we do see some good toy deals.
So wait, if you can.
The next thing I would not buy Cyber Monday
in the number nine spot, furniture.
Many of the so-called amazing furniture deals
that you'll see left over from Black Friday
just repeat on Cyber Monday.
And for the Overstock's and the Wayfair's,
there will be other opportunities where we see the furniture
at a year-end blowout close-out event,
specifically for Ashley Furniture
and some of those other companies.
I would wait if you can.
In the number 10 spot of what I would not buy a Cyber Monday
and I will get to some good news tied to Apple products,
as well as gaming,
but I would not buy anything tied
to weight loss on Cyber Monday.
Most of those incentives as well tied
to the new year's resolution goals,
which seem to re-appear in January
or appear for the first time in January.
I would wait until then if you are looking
at any weight loss program
or a meal delivery service tied to that.
And now let's talk about Apple and let's talk about gaming.
Usually we don't see any good offerings
from Apple on Cyber Monday, but this year is different.
The state of the world is very different
and I do expect quite a few incentives tied
to the MacBook Pro and the MacBook to repeat
in terms of what we saw Black Friday on Cyber Monday.
So if you missed out, there will be some deals,
not necessarily better, but many repeated,
and I will have those.
And then finally, with regards to the PS5 and the Xbox,
I do expect a couple of releases
in terms of stock on Cyber Monday.
I think Amazon is supposed to have them late in the day.
If they're there, I can promise you I will have them.
And Target, actually is supposed
to be doing something very late at night.
Again, don't know if that's true, I haven't confirmed it.
But if you do wanna sign up
for my insider deal guy texting club,
440 298 2181.
I will let you know if anything appears
and it certainly won't be your last chance
as we inch closer to Christmas.

Cyber Monday, you can tell I'm so fired up.
Okay, bye-bye.
And if I don't say it enough,
thank you guys for all of the comments,
the messages of support and for keeping my frugality fueled
through Black Friday when I was completely sleep deprived
and running on nothing but bubble tea fumes
and just an energy to save you guys
as much cash as humanly possible.
I promise you that as we approach Cyber Monday,
right around the corner, less than 24 hours,
if you like what you saw Black Friday,
I'm going to amplify my efforts even more
