Stories That Pay Off: The best Cyber Monday deals for clothing, electronics and more

Life

It’s officially Cyber Monday, which means your inbox is spammed with so many discounts from retailers, it’s nearly impossible to find the ones you actually want. Luckily for you, we went ahead and sifted through the deals to find the ones that matter most, like discounts from Apple, Amazon and Walmart. Target even has a sale on Christmas trees so you can get a head start on the next holiday.

After you place your orders, you’re bound to be overwhelmed with shipping boxes. We put together a little guide to help you recycle all that material properly — consider it a gift to the planet. We’ve also compiled a special list of gifts to buy for loved ones that directly benefit LGBTQ brands.
