Labor Day, observed each year on the first Monday in September, is an American holiday designated by the federal government to celebrate “the social and economic achievements of American workers.” At the end of the 18th century, ordinances were first issued to secure the date as a national holiday.
The date changes slightly each year due to the calendar. However, in 2022, Labor Day will take place on September 5th.
It really depends on the retailer. If you’re looking for a big device, expect these to ramp up closer to September 5th – usually about a week before that, which would be around August 26th.
This year, however, several factors are at play. First, there are supply chain issues and the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, many stores have been buying items in bulk, and since people are still spending, albeit less, they have a lot of extra inventory to get rid of. This is where the savings come into play. While they traditionally start selling around August 26th, we expect them to start as early as today to encourage buyers to buy.
In the past, we’ve seen Labor Day deals extend up to a week after the holiday, so you can expect the deals to last until at least September 12th. Anything after that is not guaranteed.
We scour the web across multiple retailers and consider a variety of factors. First, if the product is less than 15% cheaper, it’s usually not a good deal. There are exceptions like Apple products, which are very popular but are not usually available for sale.
Our general rule of thumb is that it has to be at least 15% off. Additionally, we’ve reviewed all items that we think are a great deal over the last six months to make sure you’re really getting a great deal. Anything that was price gouged to appear like a deal where they raised the price a few days earlier and lowered it back to the “deal” on the day of the “deal” was not included in this list. We want to make sure you get the best deal on these items.
In the run-up to Labor Day in September, US retailers are offering a range of deals on a huge range of products. While not every deal is a doorbuster, we also found other Labor Day 2022 sales to consider:
