Everything you need to know about the Labor Day sales
What are the Labor Day sales?
Pretty simple really: they are the second biggest sales event of the year, beaten only by the mother of all sales, Black Friday. If you're wondering why they're on Labor Day, then sadly there isn't a good reason for that other than that it's a day most Americans have off from work, and so have some time to spend shopping.
When are they, and how long will the 2024 Labor Day sales last?
Labor Day itself falls on Monday, September 6th. However, the sales usually start a week or so beforehand (although this depends on where you're shopping) and culminate on the day itself.
Which shops have the best overall Labor Day sales?
There are absolutely loads of Labor Day sales out there, but some are clearly superior to others. We don't have the full details of the 2024 Labor Day sales yet, but if 2024's anything to go by, then the places to check out first are as follows:
Belk: Their sale includes 25% off site-wide and up to 80% off clearance items.
Groupon: during this year's Labor Day sales event, Groupon is offering up to 80% off tech, home, health, and other categories!
Vistaprint: Vistaprint always has some amazing offers to help you save on prints. Their semi-annual sale this year offered 40% off nearly everything, so you won't want to miss what they have in store for Labor Day!
Lowe's: unsurprisingly, Lowe's always has a huge Labor Day sale. Last year, Lowe's offered up to 75% off patio furniture and huge discounts on gardening supplies and tools.
And what about products? Which are the best types of products to buy during Labor Day sales?

TV sales on Labor Day
Feel like your TV just might not be good enough, big enough, or even curved enough? Then you should take advantage of the Labor Day TV sales to get a new one. The best places to go are:
Walmart: As one of the best shops to get deals on TVs, Walmart's Labor Day sale is one to watch if you're shopping for a new TV this year. Plus, if you're a Walmart member, you can get free 2-day shipping on your purchase!

Target: With tech deals year-round, Target is bound to have some great deals on TVs this year. Previous Labor Day sales have offered up to 30% off, sitewide.
Labor Day furniture sales
You heard us. Out with the old furniture (bed, coffee table, couch, you name it), and in with something stylish, new, and, most importantly, extremely reasonably priced! Can you really beat the double-win feeling of both having a comfy piece of new furniture and knowing that you got it for a bargain price? I don't think so. The three best places to go are:
Overstock: Last year's Labor Day deals offered up to 70% off select items!
Kohl's, where you can earn $5 in Kohl's Cash for every $25 spent.
Ashley Furniture, who last year offered 40% off select furniture for online orders.
