6 items that are cheaper on Amazon than anywhere else, especially during Black Friday

In Singapore, regular shoppers already know that Shopee, Lazada, Taobao and AliExpress are some of the popular online platforms to score great deals for our shopping wants and needs. But, the truly savvy ones will also include Amazon on that list, because it's possible to find incredible deals on the platform if you know where to look.

Plus, with Black Friday and Cyber Monday just around the corner, you can bet there will be good deals on a USA-originated website. For the uninitiated, Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving in the United States. It traditionally marks the start of the Christmas shopping season, with many stores offering highly promoted physical sales. The event concludes on Cyber Monday, the Monday after Thanksgiving when people are encouraged to shop online instead of heading to the physical stores.

Here are some brands and categories where you can score the best deals on Amazon.

BLACK FRIDAY PROMOTION: Get S$5 off or a S$5 gift card with a minimum spend of S$100. Use promo code "MCAMZ5" when you pay with Mastercard.
