How did we choose these Labor Day deals?

As a member of ZDNET, I only write about deals that I or a team member would consider buying – devices and products we want, need or would recommend. I looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or were hardly ever on sale) and used established price comparison tools and trackers to determine if the deal was actually on sale and how often it drops.

I also looked at customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals I recommend. These recommendations may also be based on my own testing (or testing by another ZDNET expert) – in addition to extensive research and price comparisons. The goal is to give you the most accurate advice possible so you can shop smarter.

When do these offers expire?

Deals can sell out or expire at any time, but ZDNET remains committed to finding, sharing and updating the best product deals to help you get the best savings. Our team of experts regularly reviews the deals we share to make sure they’re still valid and available. We’re sorry if you missed a deal, but don’t worry – we’re constantly finding new ways to save and sharing them with you on ZDNET.com.

When is Labor Day?

Labor Day is always celebrated on the first Monday in September. This year, Labor Day falls on Monday, September 2, 2024.

Where can I find Labor Day deals?

Labor Day deals will likely be available at nearly every major retailer and many smaller chains as well. We’ve already seen early deals at big-box stores like Walmart, Target, and Best Buy, and Amazon has also discounted tons of products ahead of the holiday. Pretty much any place you like to shop will likely have some sort of savings or special offer to take advantage of the long weekend.

Which retailers have the best Labor Day deals?

Amazon has been offering a low price on many of its essential tech products for Labor Day, although we’ve seen better prices during Prime Day events. Other major retailers like Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and others are also offering competitive discounts on TVs, laptops, tablets, and more. With the back-to-school season still overlapping with Labor Day, it’s still a great time to save on basic tech items.

Labor Day vs. Black Friday: Which sales event has the better deals?

While Black Friday and the rest of Cyber ​​Week will likely offer better discounts on a variety of products than Labor Day at many retailers, there are still plenty of great deals you can snag now. Keep in mind that after this weekend until Black Friday in late November, we won’t see as many big sales events, with a few exceptions like Amazon’s upcoming Prime Big Deal Days (which require a Prime membership). If you’re looking to save on top tech and home items now, this may be one of your last opportunities for a few months until we hit the holiday season.
