Everything we know and the best deals we’ve found so far from Amazon, Wayfair, Walmart, and more

Labor Day sales have already begun at some of our favorite retailers. The unofficial end of summer brings a slew of sales — from Amazon, Walmart, and more — that offer some of our all-time favorite products at some of the best prices you can find this side of Black Friday.

We at Yahoo have already started scouring the internet to find everything you need to know about the upcoming weekend. We delve into price history and compare prices so you have all the information you need to be as prepared as possible and save as much money as possible.

Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming savings campaign, plus some early offers you can take advantage of now.

Labor Day is on Monday, September 2, which means Labor Day weekend runs from Saturday, August 31 until then — the perfect bridge between the months. You can expect the savings to start in the run-up to the weekend, which could be anywhere from a few days to a few weeks before the actual holiday — like now.

If the holiday is anything like it has been in recent years — a lot! We’re echoing some great advice Yahoo Life got from shopping expert Andrea Woroch for Labor Day weekend last year, which will be just as relevant this time around: “Long holiday weekends like Labor Day are a great time to buy big-ticket items like mattresses and furniture. … Retailers that sell these items want to maximize their sales and know that shoppers are more likely to browse and buy when a deal is available.” So if you’re looking to save big on big purchases, now’s a great time to take advantage — keep an eye on Labor Day deals on mattresses, tech, home goods, and more.

Otherwise, you can also score some sweet deals on timely items like summer clothes (to save for next year!), appliances, school and office supplies, electronics, and more. And if you’ve yet to upgrade your outdoor space, there’s no better time than the end-of-summer sales to make the most of every dollar while building out your grill, patio, or deck.

We expect to see a bunch of deals events launching across a variety of retailers, including the usual suspects Amazon, Walmart, Target, Kohl’s, and more. Wayfair is always a good place to look for deals on home goods, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see clothing and accessories retailers like Nordstrom, Macy’s, Old Navy, J.Crew, Zappos, Coach Outlet, and more have some big discounts as well.

In addition to helping you find the best savings online, there are also a few tricks you can use to save even more this holiday weekend. Woroch recommends using an app like Flipp to create a shopping plan. “Flipp helps you stay organized by allowing you to create a digital shopping list and add deals directly to your shopping list,” she says, noting that if you’re shopping online, you can also use the PriceBlink browser tool for instant price comparisons.

Coupons and promo codes are also important. “Many Labor Day sales require you to use a promo code to save, or you can sweeten your deal with an extra discount by using a coupon,” says Woroch. “Check out deal aggregators like CouponCabin.com , which organizes all Labor Day coupons in one place, or search by store name to quickly find deals, including online coupons and printable coupons.” The Sidekick browser tool is also a good option, as it automatically applies the best coupon with the biggest discount to your online shopping cart.

Of course, there’s a lot going on around Labor Day sales (like back to school and fall prep) and it can quickly feel overwhelming trying to find the perfect deals. But fear not — we’re here to help!

While we’re still a few weeks away from Labor Day weekend, we’ve rounded up some big buys that are already available to whet your appetite for savings. Keep scrolling for the best early mega markdowns.

It doesn’t matter that it’s a previous-generation model: iPads hold their value, and this iteration is one of the best tablets you can buy, period — especially at this deeply discounted price. A $130 price drop is significant, but that discount is even more notable when you consider that this model comes with 64GB of storage. This is the absolute lowest price for the 9th generation iPad — we highly recommend buying it now while it’s 40% off.

If you’ve been wanting a Dyson, now’s a good time to grab one for less.

Plus, it’s cordless, converts to a handheld vacuum, and features a full machine filtration system to capture airborne particles. That’s the lowest we’ve currently seen for a non-refurbished version of this model.

A smart speaker can be a great addition to your bedside table, providing a morning news briefing, an evening meditation, some music while you get dressed, and so on. It’s all controlled by your voice and Amazon’s Alexa smart assistant. The Dot is pretty small, so it’s not the best choice if you want big sound, but at $30 it’s a great deal for an incredibly versatile device.
