Summer is unofficially coming to an end, but if you haven't stocked up on your steals and deals for the season, don’t worry—Labor Day Weekend sales have entered the chat. Coming right off the heels of July 4th sales and back-to-school sales, this is the last major sale weekend before we hit Black Friday. Labor Day marks the end of summer and the beginning of the school year for many, and while we all know the real start of fall is September 23rd, you'll be able to see the usual deep discounts on hundreds of products for the school year, return to office, new home improvement projects and more. Big-ticket items tend to sell well on LDW, so it’s a great time to compare prices on the best mattresses, linens, TVs, computers, and home appliances. You can also see the usual end-of-season clearances of summer items, like swimsuits, jewelry, travel and camping gear, and pool accessories. There are plenty of products on sale this Labor Day, so we've rounded up some of the best Labor Day weekend deals to help you sift through them.
What to know from last year's best Labor Day sales
Labor Day is traditionally a great time to invest in expensive home items and fall wardrobe faves. Keep your eyes on the best prices for mattresses, televisions, kitchen appliances, and electronic devices, which we saw at rock-bottom prices last year. You can also get the best price for summer items, including outdoor furniture, pool supplies, and swimwear.
