11.11 — what's actually worth buying and what to skip

11.11, Singles Day, is the biggest sales day in the world — larger than Black Friday by volume. On AliExpress that translates into a week of real discounts alongside a great many fake ones.

Telling them apart is simple: check the price a week beforehand. Products whose price rose in early November and then "dropped" on 11.11 are the most common pattern. Items with high sales history and a stable price that falls on the day are the real opportunity.

This list focuses on categories where 11.11 discounts have historically been most meaningful: portable electronics, home accessories, home fitness gear and grooming. Prices refresh from our catalogue, so you can use this page as a pre-sale reference point.
