Should You Shop the Labor Day Sales 2021?

You can enjoy significant discounts from Labor Day sales, but some shoppers are holding off on purchasing certain products because they are hoping for bigger savings during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There’s definitely a chance that the items’ prices will go lower in the future, but there’s no assurance. The discounts may just be the same, or possibly even less, compared to what is being offered right now. It’s a gamble if you let Labor Day and the price cuts that retailers are offering pass by, so it’s recommended to make your purchases now if the prices fit your budget.

Another reason to shop this year’s Labor Day deals is because shipping channels are relatively calm right now, compared to the chaos once the holiday season starts — especially during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There’s a chance that packages could get delayed or lost during busy times, as deliveries get overwhelmed with the deluge of orders. If you want to minimize this risk, you might want to take advantage of the lull and finalize your purchases now.

If you already have the budget now to buy things that you need or want from Labor Day sales, there’s no sense in delaying the purchase. If you get that item now, you’ve already enjoyed it for several weeks before the next major sales come along. If you already know that you want to buy it, and you can already afford it with the discounts that are offered today, go ahead and check out your cart.

Lastly, there are less shoppers on the prowl for Labor Day deals compared to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which means that you have more time to study the products that are on sale and compare them with others in their respective categories. You won’t be forced to buy an item because stocks are dwindling, only to regret it because you find a better deal a few minutes later. You have time to do your research during Labor Day, but still, don’t take up too much time. The availability of some offers are limited, and some could go quickly like the deals that we’ve highlighted above, so don’t wait until the end of the day before you click the Buy Now button for the items that you have an eye on.

You don't have to purposely spill beans and eggs on your floor to discover the shocking effectiveness of the — you can just watch the viral TikTok video of a guy doing it.

In all seriousness, if you have kids, dogs, or are just an extremely messy eater (no judgment), this vacuum is a must-have. To call it a vacuum is actually an understatement; it's also a mop. It sucks up wet or dry messes then cleans the floor in one fell swoop. You don't even need to pick up the Cheerios before you mop up the milk! It does it all for you. It's like living in the future except we still don't have flying cars.

If you're anything like us, Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days might have you fighting the urge to buy so many products. But unlike this (on sale for a paltry $30), you actually need . In honor of Prime Big Deal Days, the brand is knocking 55% off the regular price of $80 for the two-day sale event on October 8 and 9, and while you don't need an excuse to treat yourself to a new handheld vacuum, it doesn't hurt.

Some handheld vacuums feel just as bulky as their upright cousins — not the eufy! This vacuum is 1.2 pounds. For comparison's sake, a 2-month-old kitten is approximately 2 pounds. This vacuum is lighter than a friggin' kitten. It's also about the size of a wine bottle, which means you can carry in it a tote bag when your addiction to cleaning starts to kick in and you go on a rampage, cleaning up spilled cereal and litter in the homes of your (slightly concerned and potentially planning and intervention) friends.

These Bose headphones are only $199 during Prime Big Deal Days and trust us, you need them this holiday season
Woman wearing Bose QuietComfort 45 headphones around her neck.

There are two big reasons to give into your urge to buy new headphones during Prime Big Deal Days, coming up on October 8 and 9: First, the holidays are rapidly approaching and you need headphones to drown out Mariah Carey's ubiquitous "All I Want For Christmas Is You" that'll be playing around every corner (not to mention your extended family as they inevitably discuss politics). The second reason is that are going to be on sale for $199 — that's a 43% discount from their regular price of $349. We know, cue the Jonah Hill screaming GIF.

Headphones can be deeply personal, and you may be asking yourself, "Are these really the headphones for me?" The answer is yes, and I'm going to tell you why. I wore out my first pair of Bose headphones after years of wear and tear in college, and I thought I'd try a different brand to switch things up. I won't name names, but after several subpar competitors failed my rigorous testing, I can confirm that nothing measured up to the sound quality and comfort of Bose's over-the-ear headphones, and they've only improved over time. (College was… a while ago.)
