Apple AirPods Pro 2
Amazon
We’ve been big fans of Apple AirPods for a while now. The wireless earbuds have continued to be an overall pick for us — especially for its noise-cancelling capabilities. You can expect excellent sound quality when you’re listening to music, and we also loved the microphone that delivered crisp sounds during meetings. Plus, it comes in a compact case that can easily slip into your purse or pockets.
Best Labor Day Tech Sales
Tech doesn’t get marked down often, but a Labor Day sale is a rare opportunity when you can score steep discounts. Out of all of the tech items we’ve tested, Apple AirPods continue to be one of our must-haves, and you can snag a set for less than $200 for a limited time. If you have trouble waking up in the morning, you can rely on this alarm clock to wake you up with peaceful sounds (and it even doubles as a sunrise lamp).
Arlo Video Doorbell
Best Buy
Out of all the doorbell cameras we’ve tried, Arlo’s model has earned the top spot — and not just for its high-quality footage. It’s a more affordable option that has high-end features, like clear two-way audio and an extra-wide field of range. The camera also performed well in high temperatures, so you can rely on it even during hot, humid summer days.
Best Labor Day Home and Furniture Sales
I typically reserve shopping for home essentials for Labor Day weekend. Everything from cleaning devices to plush furniture is on sale now, so it really is an ideal time to upgrade your home. That includes Eufy’s robot vacuum, which will cut down on your cleaning time, as well as this Rubbermaid power scrubber for less than $50 that instantly lifts dirt.

Dyson V12 Detect Slim Vacuum
Walmart
I’m a Dyson owner myself and believe it’s worth the splurge. The features are unbeatable — my personal favorite is the head attachment with a green light that illuminates so much dust (even in places I previously thought were squeaky clean). I also don’t have to worry about a cord getting in my way, which cuts down the time it would take for me to unplug a vacuum and hunt for another outlet in the next room.
Best Labor Day Kitchen and Appliance Sales
Your cooking hobby doesn’t have to cost a fortune, and thanks to these Labor Day sales, you can upgrade your kitchen tools without getting the side eye from your wallet. Currently, you can grab an Instant Pot Milk Frother for 40 percent off or, if you want something really worth splurging on, this luxury knife block set is 50 percent off.
Keurig K-Slim Single Serve Coffee Maker
Amazon
We love Keurig’s coffee maker for its compact size that can fit practically anywhere. It can also make a fast cup of coffee, which is handy on days you’re rushing to get out the door. You don’t have to worry about your travel mug not fitting underneath either, thanks to the removable drip tray.
Best Labor Day Outdoor Furniture Sales
There’s no better time than Labor Day weekend to give your patio an expensive-looking upgrade before fall backyard hangs kick off. That includes some celebrity home brands like Kelly Clarkson Home’s elegant outdoor umbrella for less than $150, as well as Hearth & Hand with Magnolia’s outdoor fire pit that’s just asking for you to cozy up in front of.
Christopher Knight Home Carolina Acacia Sofa Set
Amazon
This outdoor sofa set won’t just dress up your patio, but, based on our testing, is built to last you years. It has unique plush cushions that repel heat to help keep you comfortable, and even though it’s wooden, the materials are waterproof and resistant to moisture damage.
Best Labor Day Beauty Sales
As the weather changes, so does your skincare routine. If you need to refresh your beauty products, Labor Day sales have marked down some of our go-to makeup and skincare products. Right now, Supergoop’s CC Screen is 55 percent off (and it acts as a sunscreen). You can also get Neutrogena’s popular dark spot corrector for less than $20.
Gold Bond Ultimate Neck & Chest Firming Cream
Walmart
There are plenty of benefits to having a go-to neck firming cream. Gold Bond’s formula is our favorite budget pick thanks to its thicker formula that melts into skin. After using it, we noticed it left a glowy appearance without any leftover residue. Plus, as an added bonus, it’s surprisingly moisturizing.
Best Labor Day Fashion Sales
Labor Day sales are one of the best times to shop for new clothes — yes, the discounts are that good. One of our favorite J.Crew denim jackets is on sale for less than $100, while a classic pair of Levi’s skinny jeans is 64 percent off. You can also take advantage of deals on bras like this smooth style from Bare Necessities that’s less than $50.
Levi’s 311 Shaping Skinny Jeans
Amazon
Levi’s is a brand that has yet to let us down, and these trendy jeans are just one of the styles we give our stamp of approval. If you’re a skinny jeans fan, then you should add these to your rotation while they’re on sale. The material is soft and very stretchy, which means you can sit through a full day of work without feeling restricted. It also has a mid-rise fit that hits just below the belly button, so you can have some stomach coverage.
Best Labor Day Shoe Sales
It’s almost time to retire our sandals for the year and trade them in for some crisp weather-ready shoes. Some of our favorite styles we’ve tried over the years include a pair of arch-supportive Dr. Scholl’s sneakers as well as a classic pair of Chelsea boots, which you can get on sale for less than $50. And, if you want something you can wear on your morning walks and hiking trips, these Keen sneakers are at their lowest price yet this month.
Dr. Scholl’s Nova Sneakers
Amazon
Dr. Scholl’s is one of our favorite brands for bunions — and that includes this exact pair. We found the sneakers to be casual enough for everyday wear, and loved how they fit snugly to the feet (without causing bunion pain). They also come with some arch support, which can help carry you through low-impact days, whether you’re grocery shopping or going to brunch.
