As the unofficial send-off to summer, Labor Day weekend isn’t just a time for relaxation and final beach outings, it’s also for scoring incredible deals across all categories.
Retailers are cleaning house on their summer wares and wears, so if you want to shop end-of-summer clearance items and early fall fashion, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to do so over the next few days.
You can browse thousands of deals on devices, TV and accessories, appliances and more up to 40% off during Amazon’s Labor Day Sale or take a peek at Nordstrom’s massive Summer Sale for savings up to 60% on your favorite home, beauty and designer apparel brands for men, women and children.
Speaking of designer… Gilt has several flash and limited-run sales happening through the weekend. From an up to 60% off “Best of Luxe” Labor Day exclusive sale to an “All You Can Haul: Clear It Out” sale with over 2,000 fashion items marked down up to 80% off, the members-only events give you access to luxe, high-end finds for hundreds, if not thousands less.
