Single’s Day meant the day delivery men will die from exhaustion! A moment of silence for 3 minutes!

皮卡丘:

Cough, cough. A diaosi who only spent 5000 yuan on Single’s Day passing by…

夏日雪人:

I only contributed a few thousand yuan, not bad.

蓝天白云:

Good thing I didn’t contribute a single cent to the 57.1 billion.

mybobo:

So awe inspiring, which country in the world can compare to China’s Spring Festival [chun yun] and Single’s Day [shopping].

I am a person with strong self-control! In the face of temptations, I’d never budge. On Single’s Day when I saw the gold iPhone 6 I always wanted, I didn’t buy; A 50% discount on a watch, I also held off; 60% off limited edition shoes, I still didn’t buy; Even 70% off down jacket and pants, I held off one after another. I must be sensible at all times, to not buy out of impulse! In psychology this is known as “I really don’t have money”.

扯淡的回忆:

Only retards would buy things on Single’s Day.

罗网天下

The places with the most sales are places with the most singles.

Most probably bought blow-up dolls right?

宝金兔服装店:

This proves Chinese people have lots of money.

Double 11 (Single’s Day) is a sham, things are not actually cheap, people should all know that. Those who buy are probably following a trend.

燕玲！:

I also bought many things on this day, now I’m broke!

蒲公英的种子:

Haha, Single’s Day is a carnival for Chinese people! To be more specific, a carnival for women!

Chinese purchasing power, number 1 in the world.
