Kudos to us for keeping a tight reign over our spending, especially since Taobao’s Double 11 Sale is dawning upon us soon. As their biggest sale, it’s the one magical day of the year that we’ve all been waiting for – everything is on discount and we’re more than ready to stock up on clothes, home, and beauty products.
From massive promo codes to daily flash deals, here are 5 ways how we can make the most of Taobao’s 1-day sale:

While online shopping is a godsend in disguise, there are often times we’re stuck at the checkout page – mostly because we’re not sure if we’re making the right choice. But shopping with Taobao means you can view the products IRL. From 9 to 11 November, over at NomadX, you can look, feel, and even try out the items for yourself before the Double 11 Sale.

The sale might only be days away, but you’ve got time to load up on all the promo codes and vouchers you need up to 11 November. They’re offering hongbaos worth up to 150RMB (~S$29), vouchers that’ll get up to 50% off Tmall Signature, and even 555RMB (~S$110) off promo codes.
New users can also redeem 20RMB (~S$4) vouchers from their first order!
All vouchers, hongbaos, coupons, and promo codes are stackable, and can be used to offset your purchases during the Double 11 Sale.
Although you’ve already got all those promo codes and vouchers, there’ll also be daily flash deals from 8 to 11 November. These will be playing out at 11AM, 2PM, 5PM, and there’ll be an additional timeslot to end things off with a bang at 8PM on 11 November.
Good things are meant to be shared, and that’s exactly how it is with Taobao. Simply download the Taobao Lite App (iOS | Android) and invite your friends to join to potentially win prizes and vouchers that’re worth up to 100,000RMB (~$S19,870).
From 1 to 11 November, visit Taobao’s Facebook Page to win even more prizes and promo codes. Now, these are worth up to 7,000RMB (~S$1,390) so they’re sure to cut a fine deal for your purchases during this Double 11 Sale.
If all those flash deals and promo codes aren’t enough, there’ll also be free shipping for all Tmall Signature products for 24 hours starting from 11 November. Check out their massive range of products: they’ve got everything you need from women’s clothing to bedroom furniture.

Otherwise, practical household items like a Minimalist Wooden Shelf (U.P. 251, ~S$49) works just as well, where you can stack all your belongings neatly.
There’ll also be cheap flights to China, starting from the affordable prices of 1,999RMB (~S$397). If you checkout with specific payment methods, like Citibank, UOB, Maybank or an Alipay Purchase Card (to purchase from AXS Machines), you can claim exclusive promos – new users will enjoy zero transaction fees for their first order on the Taobao App and Taobao Lite App.
