With Thanksgiving Day closing in, most major retail stores have their eyes set for Black Friday on Nov. 24. However, massive companies like Best Buy, Amazon, Target and Walmart have already posted their Cyber Monday deals.

The anticipated consumerism holiday is scheduled on Nov. 27, the first Monday after Thanksgiving. Most discounted deals being offered are consumer electronics. Best Buy urges customers to make a list of the products they want beforehand. Also, as a preparation for Christmas, Best Buy's technology experts have listed gift ideas for customers. Most of Best Buy's Cyber Monday products are smartphones manufactured by Apple, Motorola, Samsung, BlackBerry, ASUS and Huawei. Consumers can save up to $200 and receive free gift cards on selected items.

Amazon established a "Deals of the Day" page to help consumers find all of their discounted products. The products change daily leading up to Cyber Monday. Other than electronics, Amazon is also selling toys, apparels, furniture and other products.

Walmart is also going all out for their Cyber Monday deals. The retailer is offering discounted products, like home decoration, home improvement tools, personal care products, beauty products, toys, electronics and more. Some products are on sale with a $600 discount. One example is the Samsung 55-inch Class FHD Smart LED TV with the price declining from $1,199 down to $597. Walmart's product selection of personalized gifts is wide with items categorized according to age and gender.

Target is posting only their top deals that include a variety of products for consumers. Just like Best Buy, Target is offering free gift cards along with their discounted products.

One thing these retail companies have in common is their Nintendo Switch deals. They are offering the hybrid gaming console for only $299. Nintendo Switch video games are also offered at discounted price rates like "Super Bomberman R" for only $49.99 and "Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2" for $19.99.

There is also a Cyber Monday website working with product brands. The website caters to companies like Nike, Gap, HP, American Eagle and more.
