Following the Singles Day sales is Black Friday, which in case you didn’t know, was made popular in the United States as a major retail event that comes right after Thanksgiving.
In Singapore, Black Friday started gaining traction after the rise of online shopping, as fiery discount hunters went from stomping over each other at physical outlets to camping out in front of their computer screens. While it’s known for the abundance of tech deals, retailers in other shopping categories from fashion to hospitality are getting in on the action as well. After all, it sets the tone for the rest of the year-end sale season: think Cyber Monday, Boxing Day, 12.12 etc.
Here is a compilation of this year’s Black Friday deals and promotions in Singapore to look out for.

At Zalora, Black Friday sales tie in with Cyber Monday sales, which will be on from 25 to 28 November. Expect a 70% markdown storewide for items ranging from fashion, electronics, household products and health essentials.
From 27 to 30 November, ASOS will have big discounts across 850 brands on their website, including coats, jackets, sneakers, suits, heels, and Instagram-ready party dresses. But if you can’t wait until then, you can always head straight to the outlet section (where it’s always Black Friday) and shop big brands with up to 70% off on their price tags.
Care to Beauty and Cotton On may have yet to announce the exact promotion they’re having, but Black Friday’s definitely happening — just take a look at the countdown timer on their websites. Care to Beauty has also given shoppers a glimpse of the brands that will go on sale on 27 November, while Cotton On promises customers massive savings and stacks of surprises at their best event yet.

Black Friday comes early at Gain City and E1 Personal Audio Singapore, as the brands have already started knocking down prices for their products. Be spoiled for choice at Gain City, where you can choose between heavily-discounted PCs, TVs, fridges and, practically, any household item you can think of.
Thinking of upgrading your earphones or headphones instead? E1 Personal Audio Singapore’s the place to go. We’d recommend you to be quick as some of their products are already sold out.

Far East Flora | Up to 50% off selected flowers |
Ion Orchard | 1-for-1 deals, complimentary gifts, and up to 50% off selected products |

And if you’re staying in Singapore, you might want to consider hopping over to Ion Orchard to feast your travel blues away with promos such as 1-for-1 lunch sets and bubble tea deals, among many others.
