  "account": "Black Friday and Cyber Monday, once separate shopping days, have merged into a single shopping event. In 2020, brick-and-mortar stores began offering online sales on Thanksgiving day after the closure of physical stores. Today, major retailers run holiday sales throughout November, with Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the days surrounding them remaining the biggest shopping days of the year for record-low prices on big-ticket items. While there is little difference in discounts between the two days, Black Friday tends to offer more dramatic TV deals with higher chances of selling out, while Cyber Monday may have a new, better laptop deal. However, the lines between the two sales have blurred due to the \"death of retail\" and the shift to online shopping. Deals will be great on both shopping days, so grab them if you find the specs you like at a price you like. Check price history details on camelcamelcamel.com for Amazon.",
