These days, when we’re in need of some retail therapy, shopping online would be our first instinct, instead of physically heading to our nearest mall. After all, it takes mere seconds to load our favourite sites and plus, we can do this in the comfort of our home (even in bed and with PJ’s on), so why would we head to a crowded mall, amirite?
Well, if you’re a self-professed online shopper who also wants to save, here are a few dates you should be marking on your calendar this 2019 because that’s when all the best sales and discounts are happening for 24 hours. Blink and you’ll miss them!

It’s our national day after all, and to celebrate this important milestone since Malaysia gained independence in 1957, most shopping sites will offer 31% off on their regular-priced items. And this includes some sites that usually don’t offer any discounts at all throughout the year, so this is a pretty big deal!
3. Singles’ Day: 11th November

This is one of the biggest online shopping day that no one in their right mind should miss! Imagine your favourite brands at a 70 to 80% discount!
If you’re wondering why 11.11 = Singles’ Day… and your wild guess is that the number 1 in that date looks like four bare sticks, then you’re right! Read about its origins here and yes, on this special day, no matter if you’re single or in a relationship, you can shop the best markdowns on all your favourite shopping sites!
4. Black Friday: 29th November

Falling on the same week as Thanksgiving, Black Friday is an auspicious day for not only American online retailers but international ones too and they’d usually slash down the prices of their products as a way to give thanks to their customers. How sweet!
5. “Double 12” Shopping Holiday: 12th December

Just like 11.11, there’s another special day in December that’s known as Double 12 or 12.12 – this sequel to the famous Singles’ Day is even bigger since it’s the end of the year and shoppers would usually already have an allocated “gift budget” for their loved ones for Christmas or as they ring in the new year.
FYI, while 11.11 focuses on larger e-tailers online, 12.12 highlights smaller brands who might’ve been overshadowed by bigger ones in November.
See? Timing is really the key! Shop online at the right time and you’ll really get to save a significant amount than if you were to spend on any other regular day. Shop smart, guys!
