Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer and the unofficial start of fall, and there's no better way to usher in a new season than with major discounts. You’ll find there are several reasons why Labor Day weekend is a significant sales event in the retail world.
- First, stores are drastically discounting seasonal items like patio furniture, grills and lawnmowers to make way for fall and winter gear.
- Second, it's a three-day weekend, so sales on appliances and mattresses abound (as they do during other long weekends).
- Finally, it's typically the last major sale before Black Friday.
We've rounded up the best sales, so you can make the most of your time while relaxing and enjoying the last moments of summer. Keep in mind the deals only go live once the sales do.
