41 early Labor Day sales to shop this weekend — my top picks at Nike, Amazon, Best Buy and more
There's no need to wait till September for these deals
Labor Day is one of my favorite retail holidays. Not only does it ring in the unofficial end of summer (goodbye hot weather), but it's also one of the year's broadest sales. You'll find Labor Day sales on everything from Apple devices to Skechers sneakers.
Technically, Labor Day falls on September 2, but there are hundreds of early Labor Day deals you can take advantage of right now. After all, Labor Day is just two weekends away.
One of my favorite early deals comes from Amazon. Right now you can get Alexa-powered devices on sale from $19 at Amazon. Those are some of the lowest prices I've seen outside of Prime Day. I also like this sale because many Echo speakers come with a free smart light bulb.
I've been covering Labor Day sales for over 15 years. Below I've rounded up my favorite early deals along with some personal recs on devices I own. If you're shopping for a new mattress or fall bedding, also be sure to check out our Labor Day mattress sales page.

Editor recommended! I've been sleeping on this mattress since April 2023 and still love it. Nectar's mid-tier hybrid bed uses both memory foam and 8-inch innerspring coils to offer maximum comfort and support for most types of sleepers.
