When is Labor Day 2024?
Labor Day weekend is nearly here, with the Monday holiday falling on September 2, 2024. Although the actual day should have the most variety of deals and sales, most major retailers and PC manufacturers have already discounted countless products.
Should I wait for Black Friday or Prime Big Deal Days?
Black Friday isn't happening until late November, and you might see something on sale that can't wait three months. Black Friday and Cyber Monday often offer the best prices of the year on tech, but from my browsing, it's clear that there are plenty of tempting deals for Labor Day and Intel Gamer Days.
Amazon has also announced a second sales event called Prime Big Deal Days, which is expected to run for a few days in October.
How can I tell what's a good deal on Labor Day?
Any sales event, whether based on a holiday or simply a retail promotion, usually comes with a bunch of so-so deals mixed in with the best sales. Many retailers raise prices leading into sales events to make their deal pricing look even better, which is why it's important to check out pricing history.
If you're shopping at Amazon, the CamelCamelCamel tool can show you a full history of pricing, including first- and third-party sales.
