15 Things You Should Grab On the Big Labor Day Sale
What better way to celebrate a holiday dedicated to the workforce than fueling the economy through amazing deals? Department stores and franchises famously host sales each Labor Day for a Black Friday preparation and hefty back-to-school discounts. We’ve searched the internet for the best deals this weekend, from electronics to mattresses to clothing. These are the finest deals on the market.
1. Ring Doorbell
Do paranoid thoughts about intruders prevent you from catching shut-eye? Do you stay up late listening to true crime podcasts, psyching yourself into seeing shadowy figures lurking throughout your house? Bask in safety with a Ring doorbell camera. The multi-function accessory provides video and audio access to movement outside your door while you’re home and away. Amazon’s Labor Day deal drops a ring doorbell down from $99.99 40% to $59.99.
2. Washer/Dryer Combo
Here, we have the priciest item on this list but arguably the most efficient. Imagine washing and drying your clothes in the same machine. No more lugging wet laundry from the washer to the dryer or dealing with inefficient washing machines. Home Depot’s deal on the Smart UltraFast Electric Washer & Dryer Combo takes the original price down from $2899 to $1999 for a $900 (or 31%) discount on an unbeatable machine.
3. Apple’s Education Discounts
Apple offers an education discount to any teacher or university student. With this discount, teachers and students receive an additional gift card when they purchase an Apple device. Purchasing a MacBook Air, a MacBook Pro, and an iMac leads to a $150 Apple gift card, whereas purchasing an iPad Air, an iPad Pro, or a Mac mini leads to a $100 Apple gift card. Plus, Apple allows monthly payments to make the upfront cost affordable.
4. Crocs
Croc despisers to the back. This one isn’t for you. Crocs, or the comfiest, versatile, most stable shoes in the world, offers up to 60% off shoes for their Labor Day sale. Classic Crocs, equipped with a strap and fashioned after clogs, are 40% off, Off Grid Crocs, shoes designed for speed walking, are on sale for 60% off, and take 20% off Croc High Shine Heels for galas.
5. Patagonia
Discounting past-season clothes is one positive thing about giant corporations. In a desperate move to expunge shelf space for new-season clothes, these companies mark down their clothes to bargain levels. Patagonia’s men’s sale finds rain jackets and shorts on sale for 50% off, and women’s activewear (flannel, shirts, leggings, shorts) all marked down 50%, too. Patagonia specializes in activewear for outside terrain.
6. The Northface
Everyone’s favorite fleece jacket brand offers up to 30% off until September 2nd for its Labor Day discount. Preparing for an intense winter trek through the mountains? Save big on a pair of North Face hiking boots. The resistant shoes typically sell for $189, though get them for $113 this Labor Day. Need to bundle up during a frigid camping trip? Catch the sale of the century with a discounted Summit series hoodie at $266, down $114 from its $380 listing price. Pair the hoodie with a snug, cozy sleeping bag priced down from $240 to $150.
7. Yeti
Yeti’s, Austin, is a Texas-based drinkware and cooler company discounting its agave collection by 20% for account holders. What is the Agave collection? A cluster of dark teal cups, coolers, and bags. The Rambler, or a 42-ounce cup, drops from $45 to $36, and a $250 cooler dips down to $200 for account holders. United States residents 18 years and older can sign up as YETI account holders to reap the savings.
8. Samsonite Luggage
I noticed a strange occurrence during my years living in Fort Lauderdale. It seemed every person on the road tugged luggage behind them. I don’t know if that had anything to do with the price of luggage in Fort Lauderdale or tourists’ fondness for suitcases, but I never seemed to see a tourist without a suitcase trailing behind them. Many of these luggage pullers owned Samsonite brand suitcases. Today, Samsonite’s sale offers up to 44% off suitcases with an additional 10% off using the code EXTRA10. A three-piece luggage set featuring a carry-on, medium-sized checked bag, and large check bag costs $499.99. On sale, this combo costs $269.99 with 40% off and the extra code at checkout. Additionally, Samsonite adds free shipping for orders over $250.
9. Tires
Tires are an overlooked expense in car maintenance. Blowing one tire can cost a driver hundreds of dollars in repairs. Keeping a few spares in the garage comes in handy after running over a nail left behind at a construction site or hitting a pothole incorrectly. Walmart’s Labor Day tire deals slash $199 tires to $127. A four-pack of those saves $288 on future tire purchases.
10. Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
If you’re not an Apple fan, that’s okay. Amazon has your (and Samsung’s) back. A 10.4″ tablet outfitted with Dolby Atmos surround sound and a slim stylus retails for $329.99. During Amazon’s Labor Day sale, this speedy, light tablet with 64 gigabytes of storage is 36% off at $209.98. The tablet completes the same functions as a computer without the largeness of a laptop or desktop PC.
11. Magnetic Tiles
The kids I babysit have one favorite toy: magnet tiles. With these rainbow-colored magnetic shapes, they build rocket ships, houses, trucks, and dinosaurs—anything that comes to mind. The downside of these sensory toys is the price. A 120-pack of magnetic tiles takes $54.99 out of a wallet on a normal day. Parents rejoiced at the 27% discount during Amazon’s Labor Day sale. Now, magnet tiles cost $39.99.
12. ROKU SmartTV
Envision a television set up with Netflix, Hulu, MAX, YouTube, HDR resolution, and the ability to use a smartphone as a remote. ROKU Smart Televisions have all of those capabilities set against a widescreen television. Walmart’s notable Labor Day deal sells a 65” ROKU Smart television for $298, as opposed to its market price of $348. Never squint to read subtitles again.
13. Apple Watch
We’ve covered a few Apple products in this list for one reason: their immense popularity. An Apple Watch encompasses all of the features of an iPhone on a minuscule screen. The time teller permits a wearer to text, set reminders, call, play music, and access apps, all on a miniature touch-screen device. The original price of the second-generation watch is $249, but it is on sale for $189.
14. Keurig
Imagine a time pre-instant coffee. Thanks to Keurig, you never have to live that reality. Keurig specializes in single-serve-k-cups or pre-measured plastic containers filled with coffee grounds. You place the pod in the machine, push a button, and let the device do its magic. Target’s Labor Day sale discounts a Keurig K-Mini K-Cup Coffee Maker by 33%, meaning the machine sells for $89.99 at market price and $59.99 on sale.
15. Mattress Firm
Your mattress affects your quality of life. Sleeping on a cold slab won’t fuel you for a productive day, while a comfortable mattress cradling your body’s shape sets you up for a fruitful day. Mattress Firm’s Labor Day Sale advertises beds up to 70% off. An example of a major sale is a Sealy medium memory foam mattress selling for $874.99 before the sale. With the enormous markdown, customers pay $244.99 for a whopping savings.
