When is Labor Day?

This year, the federal holiday falls on Monday, Sept. 2. As far as sales go, deals have officially begun rolling out, including brands and retailers offering back-to-school savings and end-of-summer clearances.

When do Labor Day sales start?

DealNews.com Consumer Analyst Julie Ramhold previously told Shop TODAY that most brands start holding official sales as early as two weeks ahead of the weekend. “As for those closer to the holiday itself, they’ll likely start no later than the Friday of the holiday weekend, though some will start a couple of days earlier,” says Ramhold.

Mattress brands, such as Serta and Sealy, have gotten a head start earlier this month, but it’s safe to say the best, official deals are here. And as Ramhold stated, you can expect more retailers to drop low prices throughout the weekend.

Ahead, we rounded up our favorite Labor Day sales we spotted right now. We found deals on Apple products, Le Creuset, Michael Kors and more low prices from top retailers, as high as 86% off.
