What Sales To Expect This Labor Day

For some reason, the Labor Day sale is usually the second biggest sale event in the year. Actually many of my friends told me that they even found better deals than Black Friday Sale. There is no guarantee that you will get the best price during the Labor Day weekend. If you decided to buy a large item, you better start to do your research early and if you the price drop during the Labor Day, you should place the order immediately. Today, we are going to give you some guidelines about which categories may be on sale this Labor Day.

Appliances:
As always Sears is our number one choice to shop for appliances. Now at Sears.com, you can get 15% off Kenmore Water Heaters with coupon code WATER, or get $35 off with $350 order on all appliances with coupon code LABOR35. That’s not it. You can save 10% on all baby gear with coupon code BABY10, $40 off with $400 order on on automotive parts, or 10% on fine jewelry and watches with code SEARSSEPTEMBER! Don’t expect you can save hundreds on appliances. $35 off at Sears is not bad at all.

Electronics:
BHPhotoVideo.com and Adorama.com are usually the cheapest place for all kinds of electronics. But electronics, especially computers have very low profit margin, there is not much room for the merchants to lower the prices, unless it is a older model. But if you see Manufactuer’s main-in rebate for this Labor Day, you are lucky. With the MIR, you are likely having the best deal! For smaller items such as computer/iPhone/iPad accessories, you will definitely see many big price drops. Watch for the items you are intend to buy online, and buy them during the weekend. But price drops usually started today, and you will find many items already out of stock in the weekend.

Furniture:
If you are about to buy big furniture or matress, you are a lucky man. All furniture stores, both online stores and local stores, will have big Labor Day sale. Hit the local stores if you are not sure what to buy. I don’t buy furnitures online, even though I know I may save a lot if I buy them online. I have to touch and feel the furniture before I buy. There is one exception – Love Sac. I would try the pieces in stores and later buy them online, because I can find coupons to use at their website, and return them to local stores without questions asked in case I don’t like them.

If you are the DIY guy, you should definitely try to get your home improvement needs online, especially this Labor Day weenend.

Clothing & Shoes:
You will big sale signs from brand name chain stores such as Gap, Nordstrom, Children’s Place, etc. But don’t you see them at least once a month if not every weekend? Don’t expect any bigger discount from these apparel stores. If you are waiting for this weekend get do your clothing shopping you will probably get very disappointed. But if you have time to visit the mall the day after Labor Day, you will sure many good bargains at stores such as Kohl’s, JC Penney and Dillars at their clearance isles.
