NBC News • • business
Key Points:
- Labor Day sales are currently active but mostly end tonight, with the best deals found in summer-related products, mattresses, furniture, major appliances, and warm-weather fashion, according to retail experts.
- Key retailers offering significant discounts include Amazon, Target, Home Depot, Macy’s, and Mattress Firm, with markdowns up to 75% off on select items like sneakers, outdoor gear, and home appliances.
- Experts advise shoppers to avoid purchasing tech and toys during Labor Day sales, as better deals typically appear during Black Friday and Cyber Monday; laptops are an exception due to current pricing pressures.
- To maximize savings, consumers are encouraged to stack discounts by combining sale prices with promo codes, cash back offers, and credit card rewards, while also comparing prices across retailers and seeking price matching.
- Shopping online offers convenience and easier price comparison, while in-store shopping allows for testing large items and accessing exclusive deals on floor models and open-box inventory; many Labor Day sales also include free delivery and installation incentives.
