Just because the Great Singapore Sale is cancelled this year, doesn’t mean the deals have stopped coming. Ease up those long and dreary WFH days with some much-needed online retail therapy, as there are plenty of mid-year sales and promo deals you shouldn’t miss.
Even though the experience of adding to cart is relatively different from feeling the buzz of mall crowds and shopaholic adrenaline, online shopping definitely has its perks. For one, zeroing in on what you need is much easier, and it’s also worth noting that discounts are often better. It’s also much less of a hassle as we don’t have to do the heavy lifting ourselves.
Sold yet? Here are 13 mid-year sales to check out online:

When: Now until June 20

Health and beauty products can cost a fortune, especially if you spend on more than one each month, which we typically do. Instead of waiting for the next month to come around, consider ordering some extras to keep yourself stocked.

If you’re a member, there’s even more good news – you can have free delivery at an easily achievable $40; but if you’re not, you can still have it at $80, which is possible if you’re getting a few good months’ worth of haul.
