Unlike what its name portends, Black Friday is not a day remembered for being grim or dark. ’Tis a deeply American tradition, where devotees worship a god called consumerism every fourth Thursday of November. Fun fact: the day has marked the beginning of America’s Christmas shopping season since as far back as 1952.
While the shopping holiday doesn’t hold as much cultural importance for Singaporeans, it has done nothing to stop corporations from getting on the Black Friday bandwagon to spread the gospel of capitalism via deep discounts and bountiful bargains.
Typically, Black Friday refers to brick-and-mortar store sales and Cyber Monday (which takes place the following Monday) refers to online sales, but these days — particularly in Singapore — the lines between the two are blurred. So what we have here is an entire four-day shopping spree that’ll kick off this Friday (Nov 29).
It’ll be, ladies and gents, the perfect time to splurge on the latest gizmos and gadgets you’ve had your eye on all year. May the gods have mercy on our smart wallets.
