Under-the-radar Cyber Monday deals worth exploring
Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals are both easy and hard to track down.
Basically every store is offering some kind of deal, so they're sitting there in plain sight, but, on the other hand, big box stores like Target, Best Buy, and Walmart suck up all the air in the room. Other stores have fantastic deals, but, unless you go directly to that store, they can go unseen.
So, while we've highlighted deals from Minnesota businesses, as well as the big box stores, we're also shining a light on some excellent deals that might fly a little more under the radar than a discount on an Apple Watch or toys at Target.
Here are some deals from smaller stores that are worth knowing about on Cyber Monday.
Barnes & Noble:
Take $30 off a Nook 9-inch Lenovo Tablet, 50% off Criterion Collection DVDs, or take advantage of a buy-one-get-one-half-off deal on collectible books, among other deals. The Criterion deal, in particular, is popular since the collectible and rare DVDs rarely go on sale.
