Walmart Is Dropping Prices on Everything Due to Excess Inventory—Here's What to Shop

Believe it or not, Labor Day is fast approaching. Another summer has come and (almost!) gone, and regardless of your feelings around the arrival of fall, Labor Day sales are a sure thing to celebrate.

Every Labor Day weekend, and in the weeks leading up to, there are an abundance of end-of-summer deals on mattresses and bedding, furniture and seasonal summer items like outdoor decor. To sum it up succinctly: if you need it for your home, it'll most likely be on sale later this month. In fact, Rachel Rothman, chief technologist and executive technical director of the Good Housekeeping Institute, considers holiday weekends — like Labor Day — the best time of the year to shop for large home purchases like furniture and appliances.

The good news continues for those of you who have been dreaming of a design refresh all summer long. This year, inflation is top of mind for shoppers, so some major retailers are starting sales earlier than ever. The Amazon Labor Day sale, Lowe's Labor Day sale, The Home Depot Labor Day sale and Wayfair Labor Day sale have already started. Ahead, shop these and more early Labor Day home and furniture sales of 2022. And below, we answer some of our readers' most frequently asked questions about Labor Day shopping.
