Check out Click Frenzy Main Event for all of the amazing bargains, fashion, electrical, tech and just about anything your heart desires.
Savvy Hot Tip: Click Frenzy Main Event sale officially finishes at midnight on November 11 however, many of the participating brands continue their sales on their own websites for many days after the official sales closes.
Singles Day
Singles Day is considered the biggest online sale in the world. Why is it called Singles Day? Because of the date. The eleventh of November or 11/11 (all those number ones). It began in China to celebrate being single, spoiling yourself and considered the opposite of valentines day! It is now 24 hours of online shopping mayhem with many retailers internationally and in Australia offering great deals.
Many Aussie stores are participating ranging from Hello Fresh which is offering up to 40% off meal kits during Singles’ Day to The Iconic which is taking 30% off amazing items in fashion, home, beauty and kids categories. Remember to check out the shopping platforms too like eBay, Amazon and Catch.
Savvy Hot Tip: receive even deeper discounts by checking for already reduced items (often end of season brand items) that include the Singles Day discount. The Iconic is including the 30% off sale on many of their already reduced items. Look for the 30% off at checkout label on their sales items.
Black Friday Cyber Monday weekend
To top off the month, Black Friday and Cyber Monday weekend commences Friday November 26. Traditionally, the tech sales were launched on Cyber Monday however this sales weekend has become such a big event, the great prices are available throughout.
Savvy Hot Tip: Pureplay online stores like Kogan often commence their sales the week before many of these shopping events so make sure you check them out even before the sales events start to get in early.
This year complete your shopping in the November festival of sales and have a December more dedicated to enjoying the celebrations. It has been a challenging year and we deserve a little indulgence this year more so than ever.
