Where to find the best labor day 2021 shopping deals 


These deals not withstanding, keep in mind that major merchants have the capacity to offer thousands of items online, many more than they could possibly offer in store, says Kristin McGrath,

a shopping expert and editor from RetailMeNot. If the doorbuster deal just doesn't suit your needs, you'll have a much greater selection if you shop using your laptop or mobile

phone. Which stores will be participating? Look for Home Depot, Lowe's, Kohl's and Amazon to announce sales the week before Labor Day, she advises. “Target is also worth checking

out, too. It drops its weekly ads on Fridays, so check out the ad to see what's in store for the weekend.” 3. USE PROMO CODES, DEAL TRACKERS AND CASH-BACK SITES While sale prices are

great, you can often beat them, McGrath points out. Do a little research, and you may find that the retailer of your choice is offering a promotional code good for an additional discount.

“To make sure that you don’t miss out on a single promo code, check the retailer’s home page, or sign up early for your favorite stores’ email lists to get them,” she says. Of course, you’ll

need to take the extra step of inputting them at checkout to get the extra savings, McGrath adds. Many sites offer them, including RetailMeNot, CouponCabin, TechBargains, Capital One and

Amazon Coupons. Some can also be used in store. What’s more, you can get cash back on your purchases at some sites, including Rakuten, BeFrugal  and Ibotta, some of which offer deals at

thousands of stores. Some sites will be offering higher-than-usual cash-back rates and exclusive offers during Labor Day. “Use these programs to stack cash-back deals on top of sales to

maximize your savings,” Gall says.    How do you make sure that you’re getting the best deals possible without countless hours of research? One way is to automate the process, by signing up

for a deal-tracking site, and then downloading an extension to your browser. (Read the privacy rules first.) When you join these sites, you give them permission to search for deals for you.

They add coupon codes automatically at checkout, or alert you when a cash-back deal is available. There are quite a few to choose from, including RetailMeNot, Coupert and Honey. In addition,

Popcart sends a pop-up notification whenever a product you’re looking at is cheaper on another site.
