Labor Day in 2022 is September 5.
Sale dates really depend on the retailer. If you’re looking for a major appliance, you can expect those to ramp up closer to Labor Day – usually one week before, which would be around August 26.
However, multiple factors make that an educated guess this year rather than a guarantee. First, there are still supply chain woes amid the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, a lot of stores ended up purchasing items in bulk, and with people still spending, albeit less, they have a lot of extra inventory that they need to offload. That’s where the savings come in. Traditionally they usually start sales around August 26, but some retailers have begun dropping prices now to encourage consumers to buy.
If you’ve been holding off on a major outdoor purchase, like patio furniture, grills, or major-ticket items inside your home like ranges and fridges, Labor Day is one of the best times to purchase those items. Many seasonal outdoor items will be discounted since retailers are trying to clear out lawn mowers and weed whackers for leaf blowers and snowmobiles.
The same goes for appliances. This is one of the best times of the year to invest in a new stove or a new smart refrigerator because retailers want to clear out current stock to make room for new releases. Veterans Day is the next time consumers should look for another good smart appliance deal, and after that, Presidents Day. You can get a good deal now, and it’s one of the last opportunities for such deals this year.
We comb the internet across multiple retailers and take into account various factors. First, If the product is less than 15% off, it is usually not a good deal. There are exceptions to that, such as Apple products above, which are very popular but not usually on sale. Our general rule of thumb is that it has to be discounted by at least 15%.
Additionally, we check prices over the past six months for any item we think may be a great deal to make sure that you truly are getting a great deal. Anything that has been price-gouged to appear like a deal, where they raise the price a few days before and drop it back down as a “deal” the day of, has not been included on this list. We want to make sure that you get the best deal for these items.
