Shop The Labor Day Sales?

While there are good Labor Day 25 percent to 50 percent off sales on gas grills, if you wait, prices will drop an additional 25 percent lower into October and November. Instead, look for patio furniture, outdoor living gear, lawnmowers and above ground pools.

Labor Day weekend usually sees retailers heavily advertising cool-weather clothes at 10 – 30% off but 50% discounts will begin into November. Instead, shop for summer apparel and footwear and discounts of as much as 80 percent in November.

Labor Day sales on televisions and electronics related to the start of football season, will be better around the start of November through Black Friday / Cyber Monday. This goes for home theater systems, smartphones, digital cameras, tablets, GPS navigators, etc.. Instead, go for remaining back-to-school electronics. Look for standard school supplies, inexpensive laptops, backpacks with laptop slots, Bluetooth speakers, calculators, and headphones.

Labor Day mattress sales at this time last year were better than any other time of the year. Sears had an aggressive sale of 50 – 60% off some models.

Holiday airfare promotions are good now, but the best time to book your holiday travel for Thanksgiving and Christmas is usually early October (between Oct. 5 and Oct. 15) when ticket prices are roughly 5 – 10% lower, then will shoot back up after mid-October. Instead, look for last-minute summer destinations. This could be a great time to get a deal on a trip to somewhere warm with discounts on air travel and hotel accommodations.
