In the U.S., Black Friday and Cyber Monday make up the two big sale days of the year. But for those around the world who don't participate in Thanksgiving festivities , it's Singles Day that gets the cash flowing. Singles Day — a holiday rooted in Asian countries — is a discount day that celebrates (you guessed it) single people and falls every year on November 11th. And while we might think that getting up at 2 a.m. to doorbust Target's fall essentials after a 1200 calorie meal is crazy, Black Friday doesn't even come close to the astronomical sales that take place around the world come Singles Day.
