Labor Day falls on September 1 this year, but major retailers have already launched early sales events, giving shoppers the chance to save ahead of the holiday weekend. Traditionally one of the busiest shopping periods of the year, Labor Day promotions often rival Black Friday, with deep discounts on furniture, appliances, apparel, outdoor gear, and more.
Early markdowns include discounts on major appliances at Lowe’s and The Home Depot. Shoppers can also find apparel and accessories on sale at brands such as Gap, Lands’ End, J.Crew, and Saks OFF 5TH. Home and furniture savings are available at Wayfair, Ashley Furniture, and West Elm.
Retail experts suggest shopping early for popular items to avoid stock shortages and comparing prices across retailers to maximize savings. Many promotions also allow shoppers to stack coupons or rewards programs for additional discounts.
With new offers launching each week in August, now is the time for consumers to track prices and plan their holiday weekend purchases.
