Does Apple offer Labor Day sales?
While the Apple Store doesn’t run Labor Day deals and rarely offers discounts outside of educational promotions, it is possible to find deals on Apple devices and accessories from authorized retailers. The best deals often accompany big events like Prime Day or a major holiday, which is why Labor Day is a great time to shop Apple sales on various devices. If you’re looking to spend less, try to forgo the latest releases. You’ll find bigger discounts on older-generation models or refurbished devices.
Where are the best Labor Day sales?
You can find major Labor Day savings at hundreds of retailers. Some of the places you can shop for major savings include Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Lowe’s. You’ll also find many other smaller retailers hosting Labor Day sales.
How We Picked the Best Labor Day Deals
At CNET, we have a team of expert shoppers and deal hunters whose experience spans years helping shoppers understand which big sales and deals are legitimately good and which are more routine. That includes Black Friday, Prime Day, the Fourth of July and many other shopping events. We’ve gotten really good at weeding out scams and shallow deals. We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing a deal to show you.
- Real discounts mean exactly that. We analyze the price history of all items sold at Home Depot to make sure no manufacturer is inflating prices to make the discount appear more substantial than it is.
- Quality reviews are important for any product, but especially for big-ticket items like grills, furniture, and appliances. If it breaks the first time you use it, the discount isn’t worth it.
- The remaining time on sale is a big part of our research process. If it looks like a deal will only last a short time or will only be available for the remaining stock, we will let you know in advance so you don’t check back later and be disappointed.
