Which Labor Day sales are the best?
There are plenty of competing Labor Day sales and deciding which is best for you to shop will depend on what you're hoping to buy.
Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart are generally good starting points if tech and smart home purchases are on your mind with stores like Lowe's, Home Depot and Overstock being the places to begin your hunt for home and garden products.
Don't rule out more niche retailers like B&H Photo, Dell, HP and GameStop, though, if their Labor Day promotions suit your needs. You can also shop direct at your favorite brands for Labor Day deals.
When do Labor Day sales end?
Labor Day 2024 falls on Monday, Sept. 2 but not all sales begin and end on that date. Most sales are live or will start to go live soon. Though some might last up to the 2nd, a few might extend past that. We'll be monitoring sales so you can nab the most savings this year.
Should I wait for Black Friday sales?
Labor Day sales offer some of the best savings at this time of year, sitting nicely between Memorial Day sales and Black Friday. If you need something now, particularly furniture or yard equipment, Labor Day is a great time to buy, with end-of-summer pricing applying to a lot of those types of products.
Black Friday is the biggest sale of the year, though, and if you can afford to wait the extra couple of months you could potentially get more for your money. That being said, rumors abound of a second Prime Day sale or "Prime Early Access Sale" slated for October, which could kick off the holiday shopping season much earlier and may mean even less time between Labor Day and fall sales.
How do I make the most of Labor Day sales?
Before diving into Labor Day sales, the best thing to do is narrow down exactly what is on your shopping list this year. That way, you can identify the best retailers to start your search and avoid being distracted by the thousands of deals that will bombard you as you explore the many different Labor Day sales out there.
