11.11 is over, but the year-end sales season is far from done. Here is a simple calendar and a few tips so you can save without overspending.
Key dates for 2026
According to ShopBack's shopping guide (key dates checked 10 Nov 2026):
- Black Friday: Fri 27 Nov
- Cyber Monday: Mon 30 Nov
- 12.12: Sat 12 Dec
What about the actual deals?
Shopee, Lazada and other retailers had not published full 2026 terms for these dates when we checked, so we are not listing specific discounts. For reference, last year's 12.12 coverage by the Straits Times showed Shopee running its Birthday Sale from 11 to 19 Dec 2025 and Lazada from 11 to 14 Dec 2025, with daily time-slot deals and stackable vouchers. Treat that as a pattern, not a promise: this year's dates, vouchers and exclusions may differ.
A simple plan
- Write down what you actually need, plus the usual price at two or three stores.
- In the week before, collect marketplace and brand vouchers and join free member programmes.
- Around 26 to 27 Nov, compare final totals including delivery and fees.
- After checkout, keep your order confirmation and check the return policy.
Know the fine print
