Cyber Monday Deals 2026: What Categories Drop Most
Use last year's 31%-to-17% discount spread to target electronics and time TV and apparel buys.
Electronics drops most on Cyber Monday, followed by toys and apparel. Cyber Monday, the online-shopping Monday after Thanksgiving, showed that order in 2025 tracking. Adobe tracked 1 trillion visits across 100 million SKUs and 18 categories.
Its 2026 forecast points to discounts up to 30% when Nov. 30 arrives.

What dropped most last year
Electronics peaked at 31% off listed price on Cyber Monday 2025, Adobe reported in Adobe's Cyber Monday record report. Toys ranked second that day at 28% off. Apparel peaked at 25% off on Cyber Monday.
Computers reached 23% off, while televisions reached 22% off. For the full Nov. 1-Dec.
31 season, toys rose to 29.6%, apparel to 25.1%, computers to 23.4% and televisions to 24.3%, Adobe reported in Adobe's full holiday season review. That pattern puts electronics first for single-day cuts, with toys close behind.
Which categories moved least
Furniture, appliances and sporting goods moved least on Cyber Monday 2025. Furniture and appliances each hit 19% off, while sporting goods hit 17% off. Full-season peaks were similar: 18.8% for furniture, 20.2% for appliances and 20.3% for sporting goods.
The gap matters for planning. A 31% cut lowers a $500 list price by $155. A 17% cut lowers it by $85.
What is expected for Nov. 30, 2026
Cyber Monday 2026 falls on Nov. 30, so no 2026 actuals existed at forecast time. Adobe forecasts $15.1 billion in online spend and discounts up to 30%, according to Adobe's 2026 holiday forecast.
Last year sets the scale. U.S. online shoppers spent $14.25 billion on Cyber Monday 2025, up 7.1% year over year, within $44.2 billion in Cyber Week spend.
Treat 2025 as a guide, not a price promise. Retailers set final prices, assortments and inventory limits.
Should you shop Black Friday too
Yes, compare both days for three categories. Black Friday holds the largest discounts for televisions, apparel and appliances in Adobe's 2026 outlook. Use a simple check on both days: That two-day check helps for TVs, coats and large appliances, where the discount lead can shift days.
- Note the listed price, sale price and shipping cost.
- Compare the same model number, size and color.
- Check return window and restocking terms before paying.
