The Labor Day sales 2021 may still be just over a month away but it's well worth getting fully prepped ahead of the big event itself if you're on the hunt for cheap appliances, home items, or even tech. It's easily the biggest sales event between now and the well-known Black Friday sales in November, so deals hunters will absolutely want to pencil in September 6th into the calendar. End of summer items, appliances, and mattresses are particularly good items to be checking out in the Labor Day sales, although we've seen this traditionally retail-focused event expand into a more all-encompassing online sale over the past few years. To give you an idea of what to expect we've put together this handy Labor Day sales guide to tell you what's going to be on sale, who has the best deals, and also when the best deals should be landing (hint: it's before Labor Day). We've also kept a number of last year's best Labor Day sales further down the page in case you wanted a flavor of what to expect in September. We've preserved all the prices, savings amounts, and also our thoughts and recommendations from when we covered the event. In short, we should see fairly similar things on sale this year so it's definitely worth checking out. TVs, mattresses, and small appliances all had some particularly good deals in last year's Labor Day sales, although we also had some great options for cheap laptops and smart home devices. Some of the prices we saw across these categories were so low, in fact, that some sales even exceeded those being offered over the previous Black Friday. So, read on for our full rundown of what to expect with this year's Labor Day sales event. Also, don't forget to bookmark this page if you don't want to miss a single deal. We'll be updating this page regularly in the lead-up to the big day itself with the latest info, and with the deals themselves as they start dropping. Earlier than you think Labor Day always falls on the first Monday of September, so this year it's penned in for September 6th. You'll want to get that date down in your calendar before the date however as we expect there will be a few deals popping up over the prior weekend too. It's not unusual for big stores like Lowes and Depot to launch their sales events up to a week in advance, so it's definitely worth bookmarking this page and dropping in early as we'll be updating it regularly in the lead-up. There will be quite stiff competition This will depend heavily on what you're looking for in the Labor Day sales. If you're looking for the things like appliances, outdoor items, or furniture then you'll definitely want to check in with Home Depot, Lowes, and Overstock over Labor Day. If you're looking for TVs, laptops, or other tech items then we definitely recommend Amazon, Best Buy, and direct sellers like HP and Dell. Lastly, for mattresses, we expect brands like Nectar, Sealy, Saatva, and Purple to all have excellent promotions running over Labor Day. Amazon most likely won't run an event labeled 'Labor Day sales' specifically but you can bet that it'll have a ton of cheap tech up for grabs on the day - especially if Best Buy and Walmart run events. Subsequently, if you're looking for cheap laptops, TVs, headphones, or anything electronic, then it's a good idea to check in at Amazon on the day to see what's on sale. The Labor Day Sales traditionally cover things like appliances, both outdoor and indoor furniture, and home items in general. You'll also find awesome sales on things like mattresses as well as end-of-summer items like BBQ grills. As you'd expect, it's also a great time to pick up clearance patio furniture for next year at places like Lowes and Home Depot - which normally have free delivery too. As with any online shopping event, the Labor Day sales will also have a ton of cheap tech deals to check out too. We expect retailers like Best Buy and Walmart to come out the gates with some really cheap laptops and 4K TV deals - which are always favorites for our readers in particular. We should also see discounted headphones and smart hubs too - especially if Amazon joins in as sales on its own devices are pretty much a given on any sales event. Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy and Amazon tend to have the widest selection of deals in the Labor Day sales covering pretty much all the bases. Last year we did see quite a few more specialized retailers like Dell, Lenovo, and HP join in too, which were particularly good for laptop deals. If you'd like to see a full run down of last year's top Labor Day sales, we've preserved some just below. Labor Day itself started as a way to celebrate the efforts and contributions of the American Labor movement and everyday workers, from its inception in 1894 all the way to the present day. In recent years, like many federal holidays, it's been used as an opportunity by many retailers to offer big discounts on a whole array of items. Subsequently, it's often regarded as the best time for shopping in between the earlier Memorial Day sales and the Black Friday sales in November. Most of the primo Labor Day sales tend to end on midnight, Monday Sept. 7, however, we'll probably see things gradually wind down throughout the week. In some rare instances, such a Home Depot's Labor Day appliances sale we may even see a longer sales period - up until September 16 in last year's case. In 2020, the Labor Day sales started about a week before the actual date, although most of the top-dollar deals launched over the prior weekend and of course Labor Day itself. In general, those shopping for appliances tend to have more time to consider their purchases, while shoppers looking for cheap tech like laptops, TVs, and tablets have a shorter purchase window overall. Just below you can see a selection of the top Labor Day sales from 2020 - which we've kept just so you have an idea of what's to come later this year. In short, we saw some of the lowest prices ever on everything from small kitchen alliances like multi-cookers all the way to big juicy discounts on top tech items like MacBook Air and Dell XPS 13 laptops. Lowes and Home depot both featured huge category-wide sales on furniture items and appliances, which we highly expect will be replicated again in very similar form with 2021's Labor Day sales.

Labor Day sales 2021: when they start and the deals to expect
