Call me old-fashioned, but I miss the days when Halloween candy started appearing on shelves in September. I mean, we still technically have a month of summer left, and pumpkin-shaped peanut butter cups are already staring me down at the grocery store checkout line. I say “technically,” because for many people, Labor Day weekend marks the end of summer — and even that’s a week away! To be fair, you wouldn’t know it; Amazon’s Labor Day sale just kicked off, and the early deals did not come here to play.
Take AirPods Pro, for starters: These editor favorites have been slashed by $80, so there’s no reason to wait till next week to pounce. And just in time for back-to-school season, this 30-ounce Stanley tumbler is down to its lowest price ever at $26 (down from $35). Gotta keep the kids hydrated! Oh, and when was the last time you replaced your pillows? Do your head a favor and grab my favorite pair (an Amazon bestseller) for a rare $38 (down from $60).
I suppose I can forgive candy corn for prematurely popping up if it means we get Labor Day deals as good as these — though, as with any savings event, not all markdowns are worth your time. With that in mind, my team and I have rounded up the best Labor Day sales of the bunch, researching price histories and comparing discounts across retailers to ensure we’re only sharing the real deals. Now go rev up that cart and get to work — shopping can be Labor-ious, but someone’s gotta do it.

“If you’re looking for a low-cost retinol treatment to help with dark pigmentation, this is for you,” she says. “RoC is the premier name in over-the-counter retinol, and its eye cream is highly rated. … It’s excellent for improving the appearance of both fine lines and dark circles, and it’s dermatologist-recommended too. I only wish it contained more antioxidant, nourishing ingredients. But for the price, it honestly cannot be beat.”
Speaking of price, this is close to as low as I’ve seen it in months.

“While testing the Saker, I first noticed that it was very easy to hold in one hand,” says McCabe. “I also appreciated the safety features, including a safety lock that must be pressed before the saw activates. This gave me some comfort that it wouldn’t just ‘go off’ if I squeezed it too tight while walking between locations. It’s also easier to use than something like pruning shears, which can be heavy and unwieldy and take much longer to get the same job done.”
