To aid shoppers navigate the deals available today, price comparison idealo.co.uk has tips to make sure online shoppers don't get short-changed.
1. Check if there are any voucher codes available - it can make a big difference to how much money you save.
Shoppers should compare prices on short-term deals, be that from another retailer and with or without the use of a voucher code.
On occasion, a shop with voucher code discount can still work out more expensive than another shop not offering a code.
2. Online shops often reduce the RRP anyway, so you may not be saving as much as you think.
To help get a better idea of a product's historical pricing, use a price tracker to make an informed decision on your purchases.
3. If friends and family are flexible in terms of colour, design or specification, then finding a product for a given price can be a little easier.
Avoiding the more coveted colours and designs can save consumers money, so it's always worth checking if this is an option.

Top Tips for Cyber Monday:
Install protection on your computer with Anti Virus or full security suite products.
Stay up to date - make sure you regularly patch your operating system to minimise your system vulnerabilities.
Secure your network and use this to shop online. Don't use someone else's as it may not be secure.
Don't click into links sent out by unsolicited spam or phishing emails - go direct to the website URL.
Let your system browser help you stay safe - enable your browser phishing and malware protection filters.
Use a credit card instead of a debit card - credit cards may offer increased protection.
Always look for the website URL to be shown as HTTPS and look for the padlock icon - banking data sent over unsecured websites may be vulnerable to online thieves.
Look at customer reviews for websites if you're not sure on using the site.
If a deal sounds too good to be true - it probably is. Consumers are urged to be wary of receiving unsolicited mail asking them to visit sites for cheap deals on hard to get items. These may contain links designed to compromise your computer and steal your credentials.
If you're still in doubt, consider alternative payment methods such as PayPal, gift cards or pre-paid credit cards.
