day in its history for orders. Customers viewed more than 1.5 billion
pages on Walmart.com between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday, the five-day

The deals continue as Walmart.com will also offer 500 deals online every
day for the rest of Cyber Week, which runs through Friday, Dec. 5.
“We worked hard to bring amazing deals to our customers on Cyber Monday
and they responded by driving our Cyber Monday volume to a new all-time
