Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale, the second Prime Day of the year is over, wrapping up at on Monday, October 13. However, even on a regular week Amazon provides some of the best deals available in Australia – and there's still a whole bunch of deals left over from the massive discount bonanza.

Amazon's best budget buys of the week
Amazon Big Deal Days October is over, but there are still some great discounts hanging on. We've included all out favourites below and even split them up by category to make it easy to browse.
The best deals under AU$50
Need to connect two devices to the one HDMI port? Or split the one HDMI output to two different displays? The UGREEN HDMI switch has you covered, and is currently 43% off. It operates at up to 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution at 60Hz, or 1080P at 144Hz.
The Novoo RG68 can output up to 67W, has two USB-C ports, plus a USB-A and performed great in our testing. It will fast-charge a laptop, phone and other device (or all three at once), supports the latest PPS fast-charge protocol and uses GAN III tech, which helps make it very compact. It also comes with a 100W USB-C cable and is backed up by a two-year warranty from Novoo. Make sure to click the 30% off coupon to get the full discount.
We haven't tested these buds ourselves at TechRadar and while you should take customer reviews with a grain of salt, an overly positive 77K user reviews on Amazon has to mean something. We've had plenty of experience with other Soundcore audio tech and rarely come away disappointed. If you want reliable Bluetooth buds on a budget, these are a great option.
While we love the Ugreen option above, there's a reason that Samsung and Apple are leading the way for their respective audiences. If you have a Samsung phone (or any Android phone with a little fiddling), this discount makes it the best choice. It'll let you keep tabs on the location of whatever you attach it to and, critically, it isn’t locked to the Apple ecosystem.
The 4-pack is down to AU$88, making them just under AU$22 each.
An impressive discount on a magnetic charger for iPhone 12 and newer. At just 5,000mAh capacity, you'll only get a single top up, but its stand makes it handy if you need to use your phone for video calls while you're at your desk. What you will miss out on here is fast charging as there's only 7.5W output.
Oral-B's Pro 800 CrossAction may not offer more than one cleaning mode, but this electric toothbrush surpasses manual brushing with its rotating and pulsating head for superior plaque removal. It also includes a travel case and a replacement brush head. This offer matches what we've typically seen when the 800 CrossAction has previously been discounted and it's a solid deal.
The best Amazon deals between AU$100 and AU$50
Don't care for the typewriter design of the standard POP keyboard? That's okay, because there's a cheaper version without it. This keyboard comes with a three-year battery life (off two AAA batteries) and a low-profile design. We loved it in our Logitech POP ICON Keys Wireless Keyboard review, though we would have liked the ability to change the typing angle.
Already affordable, these wireless buds get a further 30% discount – equal to the lowest price we've seen before on Amazon. That's not bad considering we rate them 4.5 stars in our Earfun Air Pro 3 review, and they have active noise cancelling, premium aptX sound quality and 45 hours total play time.
Not the cheapest price (that was AU$69), but this ergonomic vertical mouse is perfect for small hands and it encourages better posture, thus reducing aches along the wrist, shoulder and shoulder blade. I use it myself (I have the white colourway) and can't recommend it highly enough, even at full price. Please note that this offer is only on the black model for PCs; there's currently no good price for the Mac alternative.
Samsung's answer to the AirTag, the SmartTag 2 works with select Samsung phones to help you find mislaid items. It has a built-in hole for easier attachments, up to 700 days of battery life and it's water-resistant. If you're always losing stuff, this is a worthy investment.
Just AU$2 more than its July price, the JBL Flip 6 has been one of the best Bluetooth speakers you can get. It serves up everything you could need from a portable speaker, namely a fun, engaging sound, up to 12 hours of battery life and the ability to daisy chain with up to 100 other Flip 6 speakers!
This pocketable speaker punches above its weight with surprisingly solid sound and is small and tough enough to toss in a bag. Check out our Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 review for the full scoop. Just as importantly though, this discount is the best deal yet on Amazon. You can grab it in Pink at this price, while Black and Blue are very slightly more.
Phones & tablets
One of the best cheap phones in Australia, this Motorola handset is packed full of value if you don't need the latest and bestest phone on the market. For your money, you get a vivid display, impressive battery life and very good everyday performance. Don't expect it to handle heavy gaming, but its plenty for the average user. And this 29% discount is still the same price we saw during the sale.
Samsung's slimmest phone yet has dropped to just under the AU$1,200 mark earlier this year, but I think a AU$600 saving isn't something to scoff at. Whether this will get cheaper is anyone's guess, but if you don't want to wait, pick up the 256GB for 22% off or the 512GB for a decent 20% discount via the same listing on a premium skinny Android handset.
One of Samsung's best cheap 11-inch tablets is now available at a decent 27% discount. It's been around 35% off, but getting a tablet of this calibre at under AU$300 is a good deal in my books. If you don't need a heck of a lot of storage, grab this bargain tablet, whether you're looking for a movie streamer, web browser or a reasonable multi-tasking companion.
We don't tend to see much in the way of discounts from Apple, so this minor 12% off is actually only AU$3 more than the lowest price we have seen. With Apple Pencil and Smart Folio support, this 8.3-inch slate is a handy device to have if you're working on the go. Read more in our review.
Despite the discount, the ViWoods AiPaper is still an expensive tablet, but it more than earns its keep by offering plenty of productivity features on a display that's easy on the eyes. You get the choice of two AI assistants for various tasks, including voice-to-text or handwriting-to-text conversion, plus full access to the Google Play Store. Read our 4.5-star review for the full scoop. There's been a better 33% discount previously, but I love this E Ink tablet too much to not list it here, plus you get a magnetic case and stylus bundled into the price.
Prefer a smaller tablet? The 8-inch ViWoods AiPaper Mini gets you the exact same functionality, just in a smaller form factor, and a 24% discount that drops the price to AU$999.99 AU$759.99.
Power banks & chargers
This compact mid-sized power bank is a great option for fast charging your phone on longer trips where a smaller capacity power bank won't cut it. The T2055 is one of our top-rated options in our best power bank buyers guide, and is a sweet deal at this price. The blue variant is cheapest, but the rest are just a dollar or two more.
Our resident power bank expert thinks this affordable Ugreen is the best magnetic wireless power bank you can buy. It has a large 10,000mAh capacity, fuss-free MagSafe (or Qi2 for non iPhones) charging and even offers a nice little kickstand for easy viewing while charging. The full discount here includes an automatic 8% off applied at checkout.
This neat little charger doesn’t take up much space and offers USB-A and USB-C ports, capable of fast charging most base model phones from Apple, Google and Samsung. It won’t achieve the maximum wattage requirements of fast charging on more high-end models (such as the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL at 37W, or the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus/Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max at 45W), but it’s a handy travel solution.
Outputting a maximum of 65W via either one of its USB-C ports (and a maximum of 22.5W via its USB-A port), this charger isn’t just capable of fast charging top iPhones and Samsung Galaxy devices at the highest speed, it’s also worth considering as a laptop charger replacement with its compact size, provided you have a sufficiently capable USB-C cable and your laptop can charge via said cable. Note that there's an additional 5% discount applied at checkout.
With two USB-C ports accompanying a single USB-A socket, this Anker charger has a higher 65W output than cheaper models. Its list price has dropped from around the AU$65 mark, and this discount is only a dollar more than the Prime Day price from the last few days. This isn't the cheapest it's been, but it's still highly recommendable at this price.
A 100W charger might seem overkill, but if you’re thinking of simultaneously charging a laptop, phone, set of earbuds and a smartwatch, this is certainly a device to consider. The two top-most USB-C ports can output at a maximum of 100W, while the bottom USB-C port delivers up to 30W and the USB-A port up to 22.5W. The full discount here includes an extra 5% off automatically applied at checkout.
Headphones & speakers
It was AU$178.60 for a couple of days this month and now the latest entry-level AirPods are back to the usual AU$188 discounted price. Not a big discount but one still worth considering for spatial audio and a beautiful soundstage, as well as dynamic head tracking. Additionally, a battery life of up to five hours on a single charge and 30 hours with the included carry case will keep you listening for longer. This pair lacks active noise cancellation though.
They're no stranger to discounts and we're not going to pretend this is the best price we've ever seen, but a saving on the AirPods Pro 2 should never be ignored, especially when the third-gen model will set you back AU$429 from Apple. Great sound, seamless connectivity and excellent ANC are all part of the package.
Here's a doozy: these cans didn't get a discount during the October sale, but the white variant from industry stalwart AKG (now owned by Samsung) is currently going at a very good price. In our 4.5-star AKG N9 Hybrid review, we praised them for their superb audio quality and included USB-C dongle that allows any compatible device to stream in higher-resolution codecs.
Admittedly this isn't a fantastic price, but not listing a discounted premium Apple product just doesn't feel right considering how popular they can be. Sure, Apple's in-ear buds are arguably even more popular, but the cans are also coveted and this 16% discount on the black and blue variants might entice someone if they've been eyeing it a while.
Grab a fantastic 39% off the older but still amazing Motion+ Bluetooth speaker from Anker. It has a 30W output, supports aptX, is waterproof, and can have two units paired together for stereo. For more info, check out our Anker Soundcore Motion Plus review. While not the lowest price we have seen (it dipped under AU$100 last year), it's still an excellent deal.
As we found in our LG xboom Grab review, the South Korean's re-entry to Bluetooth speakers is largely a success, as this portable model does an awful lot to pose a genuine challenge to JBL. Not only does it sound superb, but its packed with features, including integrated straps for connecting to surfaces and a beat-matching LED light. Now just over AU$30 more than the previous sale price.
Home entertainment & Hi-Fi
It's often the #1 bestselling soundbar on Amazon and that doesn't surprise me in the least. It was very well received by experts at its price point when it launched in 2023, and has remained a top option for users too. And at this price, it's a fantastic budget option with Dolby Atmos support, plenty of bass and a wide soundstage.
This superb, portable projector is a steal right now with a massive AU$1,400 saving. It serves up great brightness levels for a portable model, although you'll benefit most from watching at night. You can read our Anker Nebula Mars 3 review for more info, but ultimately, we think this is a cracking deal.
This UST projector from AWOL Vision does require some manual input to set it up correctly, but once it's done, you'll be treated to a glorious, bright image. It supports HDR10+, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and because of a lack of built-in streaming apps, an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is included. And this offer is AU$100 cheaper than what it was during the July Prime Day sale.
Modems & routers
Google's Wi-Fi 6e capable mesh system is worth considering for big homes, although we've seen discounts that make this 3-pack cheaper than half price. You can position each unit around your home to create an even blanket of Wi-Fi, cracking down on dead spots. A single unit costs AU$257 on Amazon now, making this 3-pack much better value per node.
This TP-Link Deco XE75 mesh system is great for smaller homes or apartments, as its Wi-Fi 6E tri-band connectivity allows it to better avoid congestion by using the newly unlocked 6GHz band, plus it has a range of improved technologies that better handle crowded airwaves.
Fitness trackers & smartwatches
This is a fantastic price for a fantastic smartwatch that we awarded four stars in our Huawei Watch Fit 4 Pro review. Yes, it looks like an Apple Watch, but it also acts like one, offering excellent battery life, accurate health tracking and a bright display. Plus, perhaps most importantly, it plays nicely with both iOS and Android devices.
We called it "the best running watch ever" back in 2022 and its five-star Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar review supports that statement. It might not be in our guide to the best Garmin any longer because it's been succeeded by a fair few new Garmins, but it's no longer priced like it with this deal, either – making it a great pick up, but note only the Whitestone variant has this 36% discount.
The 'S' in the name stands for 'small', meaning this specific Garmin was made for petite wrists and features a 42mm vibrant OLED display. This offer is also available in only one colourway – the black/yellow combo – but you're getting a heck of a lot here for your money. Multiband GPS, an intuitive menu navigation, excellent battery life, plenty of Garmin fitness features... and, oh, did I mention the OLED display?
Cameras
This is Canon's first compact camera in years, picking up where the fabulous and popular PowerShot G7 X series left off. It features a brand-new 22.3MP 1.4-inch sensor that boasts Canon's trusty Dual Pixel CMOS II autofocus and it has an integrated fan to keep things cool for the content creator. With plenty of grunt under the hood, this is the best price yet on this relatively new camera.
A 20MP micro four thirds sensor, image stabilisation, a flip-down monitor and a lovely-looking body – that's what you get for under a grand. It's a fantastic camera that boasts better autofocus than its predecessor and you'll never want for a lens as any MFT optic will fit it.
It might not have a viewfinder or image stabilisation, but this affordable camera is still very good for a beginner. It sports a 20.3MP APS-C format sensor with decent autofocus performance and the ability to shoot 11fps continuously and it comes with a kit lens. In fact, this kit retails for around AU$1,599 at some camera stores, so this is actually a better discount and beats the Prime Big Deal Days price by AU$20.
This might be an entry-level camera but it has some advanced features. Anyone who wants to shoot wildlife or sports will be thrilled with the 40fps burst speed, and it inherits some of the tracking precision from Canon's higher-end cameras too. With a 24.2MP full-frame sensor, it's one of the lightest cameras available today and represents excellent value for a beginner even though this isn't the best price it's been, but its cheaper than last week.
The X-E5 is a far cry from the budget options that used to be in the X-E range. It upgrades to a 40.2MP APS-C sensor, shoots at up to 20fps in burst mode with a 66-shot RAW buffer, and the sensor is stabilised too. If you like the rangefinder look, this is one heck of a compact package that you will need to buy a lens for.
This micro four thirds camera is a real marvel. We were so impressed with it that it scored 4.5 stars in our OM System OM-1 Mark II review. Its image quality is par excellence but its standout features are its superb stabilisation and the built-in graduated ND filters. It's a serious little camera for the serious photographer.
It's been cheaper than this before, but this is still a fantastic saving on an excellent Nikon full-framer. The 24.6MP sensor can shoot at up to 120fps, records 6K video, has built-in image stabilisation and has dual card slots, including one for a CFexpress device to make full use of its speed. Please note that this offer is from a third-party reseller and AU$4 cheaper than the sale price.
Holding a spot on our list of the best dash cams, the Vantrue E1 is super compact, yet is capable of recording clear, detailed footage day and night. A comprehensive mobile, PC and Mac app allows for easy footage transfers and built-in GPS ensures you know exactly where any incidents take place. It's also just AU$1 more than the lowest price we have seen on Amazon.
Gaming hardware
Now at the lowest price we've seen on Amazon, this headset is a bargain. Read our Corsair HS80 Max review for the full scoop, but we give it 4 stars, and say it has a good sound, comes with both wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, a bunch of EQ options, plus RGB lighting.
Video games
A slightly disappointing discount as we've seen this cheaper before, but this first-party gem pretty rarely gets a deep discount. It's a big cheerful platformer with an astonishing amount of ideas. If you're a fan of PlayStation history, it's a must-own, and the same holds true if you love 3D platformers.
Ahead of its release next Thursday, Amazon had carved a welcome 23% off the RRP for this incoming Pokémon game. It's the first in the series to release natively for Nintendo Switch 2 (though it's coming to the older Switch too), so expect proceedings to be sharper and smoother than the famously ropey Scarlet & Violet. This one ditches turn-based combat for a live action approach that's reminiscent of the Xenoblade Chronicles games.
Smart home
Want to make your home movies more immersive? This Govee backlight and camera system effectively extends the on-screen image beyond its bezelled confines and accurately tracks colours and flashes to the wall behind. It can also sync with music to dance along to your favourite tunes. Note that this is designed for 55 to 65-inch TVs and is about AU$10 more than its previous price.
The price of what is one of the best video doorbells you can get in Australia has been fluctuating a lot on Amazon, and it's been down to AU$145 previously. Still, you can't ignore a 29% discount. It's easy to install, offers clear footage even at night and features facial recognition. Recording automatically begins when motion is detected, or when its button is pressed, plus it will let you know when packages have been left outside your door.
Vacuum cleaners
Scoring almost five stars in our Shark Detect Pro Cordless vacuum cleaner review, we called this vacuum "a wonder". Versatile, powerful, offering automatic power adjustment and equally good at cleaning hard floors as it is on carpet, this is one of the best vacuums on the market, at a stellar price. It was a smidge over AU$508 during Prime Big Deal Days, but I would happily recommend it at this discount as well.
This Roborock wet-dry vacuum will leave your hard floors sparkling clean thanks to powerful suction and effective cleaning. It can get up close to edges and the whole body can lay completely flat to help getting underneath tricky to reach places. This price is equal to the lowest we have seen on Amazon and is a great saving on an excellent floor washer – read our review for more info.
Soaring onto our best vacuum cleaner and best cordless vacuum lists after its release, the V15s Detect Submarine impresses with its ability to mop and vacuum while staying true to the fantastic and versatile cordless design Dyson has become known for. Offering up to 60 minutes of cleaning time with a replaceable battery pack, and powerful suction up to 240 Air Watts (AW), your carpets will be spotless and your hard floors will be shiny. Its one flaw is that dirty water can splash out when you take the Submarine attachment to a sink to be cleaned out, so be careful.
Coffee machines
This drip-style coffee maker lets you wake up to a fresh pot of coffee every morning and it will even keep it warm all morning for those cold days working from home. You can program it to brew at a specific time and even adjust the strength of your brew.
Don't want something taking up much counter space? Consider the AU$89.90 Wacaco Minipresso which earned four stars in our review.
We rate the Vertuo Creatista as the best Nespresso machine out there thanks to its use of the Vertuo pods, which come in a range of cup and mug sizes and an integrated milk frother. It performs exceptionally well, too, and will brew your morning cuppa in no time at all. The price here is only for the Stainless Steel colorway.
Home appliances
It's got a cult-like following and two members of our own staff are massive fans. If you love your chilled desserts – ice creams, gelatos, smoothies – but want to control your calorie intake, you really should consider getting the Ninja Creami. This Deluxe edition gets you three containers, which is great value at this price, which is about AU$17 more than last week.
While we haven't tested the Vitamix Ascent 2300i for ourselves here at TechRadar, our colleagues at T3 love it, calling it a "real quality blender that will last longer than most things in your home" in their review. The only downside was the asking price. That gets taken care of by the current 28% discount on the Slate Grey model, although this isn't the lowest price we've seen (that was AU$757).
This rather genius fan in Shark's arsenal has been cheaper before, but I still think it's a good investment with the days getting warmer in most parts of the country. We gave it a solid 4.5 stars in our Shark Flexbreeze Fan review, praising it for its versatility as it can have its height adjusted or convert into a tabletop fan with the press of a button, but it can also work indoors and outdoors. It's cordless, too, with a single charge lasting up to 24 hours.
Personal care
There was a whopping 63% discount last week on what is one of the top electric toothbrushes, but I think even this 50% off would make you smile. It's a smart brush that harnesses the power of AI to recognise your personal brushing style and provide feedback to improve it. The feedback you'll get via the companion app. It also features a pressure sensor and an interactive display, plus comes with a magnetic charging stand.
There is excellent value for money here as this one tool will take care of hair anywhere on the body. It comes with 15 attachments and offers 26 hair length settings. Its battery life also promises to be just as good – up to 4 weeks on a single charge. It also happens to be waterproof. That's a lot of personal grooming for a little over AU$100.
It's been a lot cheaper than this during Black Friday 2024 (AU$498 was the lowest price), but a 20% discount right now might well tempt you to get yourself what is arguably one of the best hair dryers money can buy. There are a plethora of sensors here that make sure your scalp remains healthy, automatically adjusting heat and airflow depending on how far away the dryer is from your head. You also get a bunch of magnetic attachments for a styled blow dry too.
This is Dyson's latest version of the Airwrap and it's a whole lot better than previous iteration. As we said in our Dyson Airwrap i.d. review, this multi-styler creates effortless curls at the touch of a customisable button, in combination with powerful airflow. Plus, with the attachments included, it doubles as a hair dryer, making this the only tool you need in your bathroom.

Shopping tips
1. Become a Prime member
While it might cost you a monthly (or annual) fee to be a Prime member, it's the best way to maximise your savings, particularly if you think you're going to be shopping on the platform regularly. If you're not a Prime member yet, you can sign up now for a 30-day free trial and, if you do so just before a big sale and cancel the subscription before the trial ends, you get the full benefits without having to pay anything extra, albeit for a short period of time.
Benefits include free and fast shipping, exclusive and early access to select deals, plus free subscriptions to some of Amazon's other services like Prime Video, Prime Reading and Prime Gaming. Find out more about this subscription service in our guide to what is Amazon Prime.
2. Use Amazon coupons
We've got a dedicated page that lists a lot of Amazon coupon codes to help you save on your next shop, but there are always select items on the site that have a little check box that you can tick to bring the price down a little. These coupons can save you anywhere from 5% to 20% off a particular item, and occasionally there's a specific amount of money that gets deducted (e.g. AU$5 off a AU$20 portable power bank), so keep an eye out for them when shopping on Amazon.
Note that when you use these little boxes, the discounted price will only appear when you finally check out – not when the item is sitting in your virtual cart.
3. Track your cart
If you aren't in a hurry to buy something specific, you can always add it to your cart and click "save for later". Amazon has a handy functionality that automatically lets you know if an item in your cart has had a price change.
4. Set up alerts
If you don't want to keep logging into Amazon to check your cart, you can use a site called camelcamelcamel.com to see an item's price history. You just have to copy and paste the URL of the Amazon item you're interested in into Camelcamelcamel's search bar and voila, you get the price history represented by an easy-to-understand graph.
Monitoring this manually, though, can be annoying, so the folks behind this tracking site have created a handy browser plug-in that you can install to receive email alerts when a specific item gets a discount. This is particularly useful during Amazon's big sales if you know what you're after.
5. Use Amazon's Subscribe & Save program
If there are certain products you know you will buy regularly, particular pantry staples and toiletries, you can use the Subscribe & Save feature on Amazon. This option shows up as the default offer when click on items like laundry detergents, coffee pods, nail colour, baby-care items and more, and it's possible to save as much as 15%, with free shipping already available for Prime members.
6. Check Amazon's daily deals
Amazon has a dedicated hub that lists hundreds of offers, called Today's Deals. It sits right on top of the page and, while it looks a little daunting to browse, there are filters you can use to narrow down your search if you know what you're after.
If you happen to use an Echo smart device, you can also use a simple voice command to find out what the day's offers are by saying, "Alexa, what are my deals?"
7. Browse overstocked items in the Amazon Outlet store
Amazon also has a dedicated section called the Outlet Store that stocks clearance items going cheap. It also houses overstocked new items too, and these usually have some significant discounts. From electronics to homewares, the Outlet Store can save you a pretty penny, but note that some items may come in a damaged box. If so, there will be a note on the product listing page about its condition.
8. Shop during the big sales
If you're not in a rush to buy something, particularly an expensive item, consider waiting till a big sale comes knocking. When we say big, we mean the Prime Day and Amazon Black Friday sales. This is when we see the biggest discounts of the year.
That said, there are usually a lot of good deals during Big Smile sale and the Mid-Year sale, so don't ignore those if you're keen on shopping through the year.
Amazon Big Smile Sale: FAQs
What is the Amazon Big Smile sale?
While it's not as big as Amazon Prime Day or Amazon's offering during Black Friday, the Amazon Big Smile Sale is one of Amazon's major sales of the year. You can expect a massive range of discounts across the best headphones, stick vacuums, earbuds, cheap phones and more, but the main discounts will likely focus on Amazon-owned products like Kindle, Ring and Echo. It typically takes place in late March or early April.
What days are the big Amazon sales?
Amazon has four exclusive sales throughout the year, while also taking part in the big general sales alongside Australia’s major retailers. These sales start in March (or early April) with the Big Smile Sale, while the Mid-Year sale is Amazon's alternative to Australian EOFY sales in June. Then there's Amazon Prime Day in July, which now occurs twice each year with Prime Day 2 – or Big Deal Days – landing in October.
And, while they aren't specific to Amazon, the Amazon Black Friday and Boxing Day sales are undoubtedly two of the best times to shop.
Does Amazon have an EOFY sale?
While Amazon doesn't take part in EOFY sales per se, the Amazon Mid-Year Sale lines up with the Australian End of Financial season.
What is Amazon's biggest sale?
While it's not an Amazon-exclusive sale, there's little doubt that Amazon's deal offerings during Black Friday are usually the best we see during the year – but its Prime Day deals are right up there. The Amazon Big Deal Days sale is also worth circling on your calendar. Note, many of the deals during these sales are exclusive to Prime members.
What is the biggest sale in the world?
Between Boxing Day and Black Friday, it's hard to say which is the bigger global shopping event. While Boxing Day is an event for countries within the Commonwealth, and Boxing Day has an American origin, both are great times to pick up basically anything from any retailer across the globe.
However, it's possible neither Boxing Day nor Black Friday sales hold the crown of the world's biggest sale. That title might belong to Singles Day, held on November 11. A massive event in China, it has recently gained traction globally – and may increase in popularity in 2025.
