Can You Shop Labor Day Sales in Stores Too?Now that all of the online Labor Day sales are live, you may be wondering whether or not you can also do your shopping in person. The answer is yes! All of the retailers that have brick-and-mortar locations on our list are also offering their discounts in stores. This includes Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Macy’s. Retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart also allow you to purchase items online and pick them up yourself at a physical location. This is a great way to avoid waiting for shipping or paying additional fees for expedited delivery.
What Should You Buy During Labor Day Sales?
Years of experience has taught us that some product categories are more likely to have good Labor Day discounts than others. Our recommendations for what to buy during Labor Day sales stem from a mix of historical pricing as well as what sales we are already seeing today.
Furniture
Labor Day historically has some of the best prices on furniture you’ll find all year. You should be able to find deals on popular standing desks, gaming chairs, and more. Retailers are also heavily discounting outdoor furniture as the summer season comes to a close. Even some of our favorite gaming chairs are currently discounted at Amazon and our favorite standing desk is on sale at FlexiSpot for Labor Day.
Laptops, PCs, and Tablets
Back-to-school season is generally an excellent time to buy a laptop or a new PC. Because of this, it’s also a great time to buy any PC accessories. Manufacturers like Dell, Lenovo, and HP all currently have sales going on now you can take advantage of. Outside of those brands, Labor Day is turning out to be a really good time to buy an iPad (we’ve seen 40% off 9th-Gen models so far) as well as various Android tablets.
If you’re looking for a new gaming rig, we’ve found the best gaming PC deals for Labor Day and put them in one place.
Monitors and TVs
If you’re hoping to buy a new screen for your console, PC, or laptop, right now is one of the best times of the year to buy a gaming monitor. Thanks to many of the same manufacturer sales happening around laptops and PCs, you can also find lower prices on some of the most popular gaming monitors, including this deal on Alienware’s flagship 4K OLED display. Additionally, Labor Day weekend is usually a pretty good time to find deals on a new TV and we’ve found a great discount on the LG C4 already.
Major Appliances and Grills
Although Black Friday is generally the best time to buy most things, major appliances are one of the few items where you’ll find better deals during Labor Day weekend. Retailers like Home Depot, Lowe’s, LG, and Best Buy all have appliance sales live this weekend and you can find savings on refrigerators, washing machines, grills, and more.
Mattresses
Holiday weekends are a consistently great time to buy a mattress. Every major online mattress retailer has some sort of sales promotion that they turn on any time there’s a three-day weekend, and Labor Day is the same. You can currently find a decent mattresses for really cheap if you don’t mind buying from a bed-in-a-box brand like Casper or DreamCloud.
Clothing
As we make the transition to fall and back-to-school shopping reaches its peak, Labor Day weekend becomes one of the best times all year to find discounts on clothes. Major retailers like Old Navy and Macy’s already have sales live, and many smaller brands have launched their Labor Day sales as we get closer to actual Labor Day.
Outdoor Gear
Similar to clothing retailers, outdoor shops always have significant discounts as the seasons change. Labor Day marks the transition between summer and fall, meaning you can usually find some amazing deals on camping gear and other warm-weather equipment. REI is perhaps the most notable place to shop, and its Labor Day sale is already live live right now
Books
Labor Day weekend is a surprisingly good time to find some good deals on books. This is largely thanks to the huge Barnes and Noble sale that happens every year, but Amazon is also currently offering quite a few deals on hardcovers that are worthwhile. There are even Kindle deals this year, making it a good time to buy an e-reader if you don’t already have one.
LEGO Sets
Although Labor Day sales haven’t traditionally been the best time to buy LEGO sets, we are seeing some surprisingly good deals this year that we didn’t expect. Barnes and Noble is including LEGO deals as part of their sale, and Amazon has some well-hidden price drops. If you’re in the market for a discount on a LEGO Disney set or a deal on some LEGO flowers, now is a great time to buy.
Headphones and Speakers
Headphones, speakers, and soundbars are unsurprisingly some of the best things to buy during Labor Day. Holiday weekends are especially a great time to buy headphones, and Labor Day’s proximity to back-to-school sales only makes that more true. One of the best sales you can shop right now is the Bose Labor Day sale, which has price cuts on every product category. You can also check out the Sonos Labor Day sale for some of our favorite speaker and soundbar deals so far.
Coffee Makers
Labor Day sales have traditionally been an excellent time to find coffee makers at lower prices every year, and from what we’ve seen so far, 2024 is no different. Walmart, Target, and Amazon are all offering low prices on both single-serve coffee makers and standard drip options.
What Shouldn’t You Buy During Labor Day Sales?The short answer is that you shouldn’t buy anything that isn’t on sale. The longer answer is that some product categories simply won’t have good deals no matter how hard you look. Labor Day is not a particularly good time to buy video games, for example, and you likely won’t find great discounts on any of the major consoles either. Though there are some deals available on the Switch Lite currently.
While we found a pretty good discount on the new Samsung Galaxy 24+, Labor Day usually isn’t the best time to upgrade your phone. If you’re in the market for a smartphone, new models will be arriving soon and prices will drop further on Black Friday. With the iPhone 16 coming out in September, the best time to buy a new iPhone is still a ways away.
More Upcoming Sales EventsIf you don’t plan on doing any Labor Day deals shopping, there are still quite a few upcoming sales events in 2024. Next up is Amazon’s October Prime Day event, which the company just recently confirmed to be happening again this year. This sale will take place sometime in the middle of October and acts as a precursor to Black Friday. Following that, we usually see Black Friday deals starting as early as late October and running all the way through Cyber Monday.
