Green Monday, the online sales event that generally takes place the second Monday of December, returns today with discounts from virtually every retailer under the sun.

Naturally, the biggest players in retail are trying to make a splash with special Green Monday promotions. For example, Target is offering Beats Powerbeats2 wireless headphones for $100, or 50% off the original price. Amazon is discounting a broad range of items, like the 7-inch Fire tablet for $40 ($10 off) and Amazon Tap for $90 ($40 off). Best Buy, Macy's, Walmart, and many others are advertising special Green Monday deals as well.

While all of the merchants above have some terrific deals, they aren't discounting everything. Instead, they're attempting to use the age-old retail ploy of tempting shoppers with great prices on a small selection of items with the hopes that they'll also wind up buying some goods at full price.

What makes Cyber Monday so awesome for shoppers is that many retailers—clothing stores in particular—discount merchandise across the board. Customers don't have to weed through the overpriced items in order to find deals because virtually everything being sold is on sale, typically for 40% or more off.

Many retailers role out the same playbook for Green Monday. You can check out their special sitewide deals below. And take a look here if you want to see how their discounts on Green Monday 2016 compare to those on Cyber Monday 2016.
