NextImg:I Regret To Inform You That These Labor Days Deals Are Worth Every Penny
A Frigidaire dehumidifier, a Merrell hiking boot, a Brooks running shoe and a pair of AirPods Pro.

If there’s a big purchase on your shopping list that you keep putting off because you can’t really justify the cost, Labor Day weekend sales are the perfect time to hit that checkout button. You may be surprised how good some LDW sales can be on big-ticket items — in fact, there’s probably a deal on our list you didn’t know about.

Whether you’re looking for new tech, kitchen tools, furniture, clothing or something else entirely, you won’t regret jumping on the chance to save big on the splurgeworthy items we’ve rounded up below. Some are at the lowest price they’ve been all year, even lower than their Prime Day prices. Just remember that these sales are often quick to sell out, and many might not come back.

There’s no time like the present to fill your cart and relish in the sweet feeling of checking that big purchase off your list — and you’ll even have saved some money while you’re at it.

HuffPost and its publishing partners may receive a commission from some purchases made via links on this page. Every item is independently curated by the HuffPost Shopping team. Prices and availability are subject to change.

1
Amazon
Second-generation Apple AirPods (31% off list price)

Classic for a reason, these second-generation AirPods automatically connect with your smart devices. They're Siri-enabled with a built-in microphone, seamlessly switch between your laptop and phone and have over a 24-hour battery life with the charging case and five hours of direct play time. They use an Apple lightning cable, so it's likely the same charger as your iPhone or iPad, and the compact case is easy to carry to work, the gym or anywhere else.

2
Amazon
Apple AirPods Pro (24% off list price)

Not only are AirPods Pro a must for listening to music, podcasts and meditations, but the noise-cancellation feature can help you decompress from the constant noise of busy city streets or the airport and plane while traveling. Users have also reported that they have a really long battery life, are comfortable and stay in firmly place.

3
Amazon
Apple AirPods Max wireless over-ear headphones (22% off list price)

Apple's only over-the-ear headphones promise a dynamic and high-fidelity sound that the brand calls "a breakthrough listening experience" powered by their proprietary H1 chip. Additionally, these headphones boast noise-canceling capabilities, along with a transparency mode for all those instances where you still want to interact with the world around you. Enjoy up to 20 hours of listening time per charge from the accompanying slim smart case, along with other features such as audio spatial awareness.

4
Amazon
Apple AirTag four-pack (20% off list price)

In addition to being water- and dust-resistant, AirTags have a wildly simple setup, and you can assign each one a name to keep your most valuable belongings sorted. Each one is completely encrypted for privacy, and even when it’s far away, it can anonymously and secretly use a network of Apple devices to send its location back to you. When you move away from an item like your keys, it can even send you a notice.

5
Amazon
A ninth-generation Apple iPad (up to 40% off list price)

The ninth-generation Apple iPad is up to 40% off right now, meaning you can nab it for less than $200 — the best price we've seen all year, including on Prime Day. This iPad is an older model, but still has 64 GB of storage, a 10.2-inch retina display, an A13 bionic chip for optimal graphics performance and an all-day battery life. With near-perfect reviews (a 4.7-star average rating or better on Amazon, Target and Walmart), you really can't go wrong with this one.

6
Amazon
Apple Watch Series 9 with GPS (25% off list price)

The Apple Watch Series 9 is excellent for health tracking, and has several features reviewers rave about. It has temperature sensing to alert you if it suspects you’re sick, advanced sleep tracking plus the ability to use AI to understand your daily routine and alert you if anything seems out of order. It also has an app for tracking your heart rate that Apple claims can generate an ECG similar to a single‑lead electrocardiogram. This is one essential daily wearable with lengthy battery life and excellent waterproofing.

7
Apple Watch SE second-generation smartwatch (20% off list price)

Apple's second generation of its beloved smartwatch has everything you need to stay connected and track health and fitness goals, and also includes safety features such as fall and crash detection. The watch can seamlessly pair with all your other Apple services and devices and comes in several colors and band options.

8
Brooks
A HuffPost reader-beloved running shoe (up to 38% off list price)

If you've been to the HuffPost site before, you've probably seen us lauding Brooks' running shoes for their comfort, and select styles of the popular Ghost 15s are on sale for Labor Day weekend. These shoes have some serious cushioning, making them great walking shoes for older people, people with orthotics and more. One reviewer called them a "goldilocks running shoe," for their perfect medium between cushion and stabilization, and the subtle flair of their appearance. The buttons below show men's sizes 7-15, but women's sizes 5-13 are available at Zappos, Brooks and DSW.

9
Amazon
This powerful rechargeable electric toothbrush (30% off list price)

The Oral-B iO Series 3 Limited rechargeable electric toothbrush has three cleaning settings, a pressure sensor to protect your gums and a two-minute timer to ensure thorough cleaning every time. The round brush head can reach more places than your average rectangular toothbrush head, and the brand claims the iO Series 3 Limited can remove 100% more plaque in one week than a manual brush. It comes with two brush heads and a travel case.

10
Nordstrom
A 3.5-quart Le Creuset sauteuse (42% off list price)

Le Creuset is one of those trusted cookware brands that's been around forever, but their stuff isn't cheap — which makes this 42% off sale such a great bargain. This sauteuse is similar to a Dutch oven, but has shallower, sloped sides that make it ideal for cooking sauces and dishes that require constant stirring (the different design makes it easier to scrape the corners with a whisk or spatula). This sauteuse is made with the same durable enameled cast iron as Le Creuset's famous Dutch ovens, and has a 3.5-quart capacity.

11
Merrell
These Merrell waterproof hiking boots (up to 30% off list price)

These waterproof hiking boots are great for rugged trails, with a mid-height design that supports the ankle. They're designed with shock-absorbing cushion and protective rubber on the heel and toe cap to make every step a breeze. Up to seven of the available colors are on sale, and the shoe comes in both medium and wide width. The buttons below link to men's sizes 7-16, but women's sizes 5-12 are also available at Merrell, Amazon and REI.

12
Merrell
A comfy pair of Merrell slip-ons for everyday wear (up to 60% off list price)

The Merrell Jungle Moc boots can be easily slipped on and off, and have a shock-absorbing, cushioned heel for ultimate comfort. You don't have to be a hiker to like the fit of this shoe — in fact, they're made for everyday wear. The shoe even contains odor-fighting technology to help your feet stay fresh. Up to eight colors are on sale, in both medium and wide width. The buttons below are for women's sizes 5-11, but the Jungle Moc also comes in mens' sizes 6.5-15 in up to 26 colors at Amazon, Zappos and Merrell.

13
Merrell
The trendy Merrell slip-on Hydro Mocs (up to 31% off list price)

Merrell calls this Croc-like slip-on design "so weird, it's wonderful." Built for comfort, the Jungle Mocs are cushy, snug and ideal for water and wet environments, but still have a unique, street style look. The shoes are available in up to 16 colors. The buttons below will take you to the men's sizes 7-15, but you can also get them in women's sizes 5-11 at Amazon, Zappos and Merrell.

14
Casper
A cult-favorite hybrid mattress from Casper (30% off list price)

Grab 30% off all mattresses at Casper, plus up to 30% off everything else.

We're eying this aptly-named Dream mattress from Casper, which combines ergonomic support with slightly-bouncy springs and pressure-relieving memory foam. It's also carefully (blissfully) designed to encourage airflow and prevent overheating.

It's on sale in seven sizes. (While this exact model isn't available at Amazon, you can find similar styles on sale there, like the brand's Original and cooling Snow models.)

Promising review: "Just got the original Hybrid and now I don’t want to get out of bed, it’s a problem… also I got the adjustable base since it was on sale and wasn’t sure if I’d even use it but needed a bed frame— I love it so much it’s so relaxing, I couldn’t be happier with my purchase." — Jenna

15
Purple
A temperature-balancing mattress from Purple ($200 off list price)

This bestselling mattress from Purple is designed specifically to address aches and pains by relieving pressure throughout your body. Its a cooling gel top and memory foam middle gives a medium-firm yet cushiony feel, while supporting air flow for maximum breathability.

You can grab the mattress for $200 off for a limited time in all seven sizes (or up to $400 off with base). Check out the other mattresses currently on sale at Purple here.

Promising review: "This is truly an amazing product. We would just like to say that your product is truly like floating on air! My spouse & I love our new mattress and have been having incredibly restful sleeps. We had previously purchased four other mattresses from a variety of manufacturers but yours beats them hands down! Thank you so very much for such an amazing product. It definitely meets & exceeds our expectations!" — Joan B.

16
Amazon
An ultra-quiet Frigidaire dehumidifier (18% off list price)

If you're dealing with mildew and mold growth or humidity at home, a dehumidifier can help. We've previously covered this one by Frigidaire, which is especially beloved by reviewers for its quiet operation. It has a coverage of 3,000 square feet, a 1.7-gallon bucket capacity, an automatic shut-off feature and a continuous drain option that saves you the work of emptying the bucket yourself. $179 is the lowest price we've seen for this product all year — so don't wait to jump on this deal.

17
Target
The high-quality Bose SoundLink Flex portable speaker (up to 27% off list price)

This wireless portable speaker from the iconic Bose brand is water-, dust- and rust-resistant. Its USB-C cable charger provides a battery life of up to 12 hours per charge — making it a perfect companion for a day outdoors or in the pool (it even floats!). The speaker also has a microphone so you can use it to make phone calls, and a button on the top lets you connect it to Siri or Google Assistant on your phone. Get it in five fun colors!

18
Target
An ergonomic and sleek chef's knife (up to 50% off list price)

Yes, it's expensive, yes, you might not cook much, but guess what? A good, high-quality, sharp chef's knife will always be worth it. We're big fans of this one by Henckels which is on sale right now at some of your favorite go-to retailers. The handle is non-slip, the blade is half-serrated and made of stainless steel and the knife is lightweight and dishwasher-safe.

19
Frye
These popular women's boots from Frye (27% off list price)

The Veronica Short boots are a bestseller among Frye's women's shoes. Coming up to mid-calf, the shoes are made with a stacked 1-inch leather heel, metal hardware and rubber lug soles. The shoes are perfect for fall and come in five colors, in women's sizes 5-12.

20
Frye
These men's lace-up hiking boots from Frye (33% off list price)

Similar to the Veronica Shorts, the men's Tyler Lace-Ups are a Frye bestseller. These boots are versatile enough to go with just about everything, and are durable too — they're made with full-grain leather and are built to last. One reviewer says they have a 15-year-old pair that " fit me like socks now." The boots are available in six colors, in men's sizes 7-13.

21
Rumpl
A packable, puffy outdoor camping blanket (up to 40% off list price)

This Rumpl NanoLoft puffy blanket is 52-by-75 inches, but can be packed down to 6-by-14 for hiking or camping trips, and weighs less than two pounds. Made from a down alternative, the insulating technology of the blanket will keep you warm, while the blanket resists water and odor. Perhaps best of all, it's machine-washable and safe for the dryer, so taking care of it is a breeze. The blanket comes with a stuff sack, four corner loops and a cape clip to wrap it around you.

22
Target
A comfy convertible sofa bed (55% off list price)

Furniture is another great big purchase to make during sale weekends, and this Room Essentials convertible sofa bed is perhaps one of the best deals out there, at over 50% off and under $200. The sofa has a sort of Scandinavian look with the light gray fabric and tapered, light wood legs, and can be folded down into a bed when you have guests over who need a place to sleep.

23
Prana
Super-soft leggings with UPF 50+ sun protection (40% off list price)

Two colors of PrAna's Heavana 7/8 Leggings are on sale, and once you buy them, don't be surprised if you want to wear them forever because of the "magical material," as one reviewer described it. The leggings have a high-rise waistband, a stretch that won't restrict you and moisture-wicking capabilities. The soft, heathered fabric offers sun protection, too, with a UPF rating of 50+.

24
Nordstrom
A pair of Jack Rogers flip-flops that can be dressed up or down (up to 30% off list price)
