Save 20% on the best nonstick pan that our team has tested as part of this Labor Day sale. Today’s markdown results in the best price of the year and undercuts previous long weekend sales like Memorial Day by an additional $8. In testing, we found that the pan’s impressive nonstick performance and consistent heating are well worth a spot in your kitchen at its original $149 MSRP, and now that it’s $30 off, that’s even more true.

The end of summer means it’s almost time to turn off the air-conditioning and switch back to open windows with cooling fans. This Dyson model will do more than just circulate air around the room, thanks to added air purification functionality that helps minimize allergens and other airborne particles in your space. This week’s $150 discount matches the lowest price of 2026 so far.
This heavy-duty rain jacket may not be one of our editors’ favorite ways to stay dry through summer showers, but it is a runner-up that’s worth considering, especially now that it’s up to 50% off. At full price, it just couldn’t match the value of some of the more affordable alternatives that ended up impressing our staffers, but at its lowest price of the year, you can enjoy its waterproof shell in several on-sale styles.

One of our editors’ favorite USB-C wall chargers has returned to its lowest price ever as Labor Day sales go live. It’s $14 off this week and offers smart charging technology that can, on top of quickly refueling, protect your smartphone’s battery from overheating to extending its lifespan. Today’s offer beats the previous markdown we spotted by an extra $4.
Apple AirTag deals have been few and far between in 2026. There have been a handful of minuscule markdowns that take a dollar or two off the usual price tag, but only one offer has been anywhere close to 20% in savings. Actually, make that two because this week, Amazon is taking $5 off the going rate to return the best Bluetooth tracker around to its lowest price ever. The improved AirTag 2 has a longer range and a louder speaker volume than the original, both of which make it easier to find everything from misplaced keys to backpacks and more.

Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones are one of the best examples of an older gadget being a better value than newer releases. Despite being the previous-generation pair of over-ear cans from Sony, they remain one of the best values around for blocking out your surroundings when you need to focus on work, ignore obnoxious passengers on a flight or fully enjoy your music, thanks to best-in-class active noise cancellation. Amazon takes over $200 off to help you focus for less.

You’ll enjoy the same impressive performance alongside a bigger screen for those who need the extra pixels to help with multitasking this semester.

It’s over $500 off at two retailers, complete with a gorgeous Mini-LED panel, an onboard Fire TV smart interface and a 144Hz refresh rate that ensures that fast-paced sports look their best. Today’s discount is an extra $100 below the previous markdown from Prime Day.

Its latest Beam model is a fantastic starting place for replacing your TV’s built-in speakers with something that actually sounds great.

For 40% off, this jacket is the lightweight layer you didn’t know you were missing, designed for those moments when you’re standing on a breezy summit. It’s the antithesis of a bulky, rigid windbreaker — lightweight, softly compliant and sensible. A fair share of paper-thin technical shells force you into a binary: sweat with it zipped up, or let it flap wildly against your collarbones when you unzip for air. Cotopaxi solved that with a clever internal sternum snap.
These shorts can do it all. Wear them while kayaking, hiking, camping and the like. Their water-repellent (DWR) finish helps shake off water, while their mesh liner gives you secure, comfortable coverage. Transition easily from swimming to lunch, as they dry quickly and feel lightweight. Choose from seven on-sale colors and prints for up to 50% off.
Buying denim online feels a little high stakes without a try-on. But Abercrombie’s viral wide-leg franchise has basically cracked the code of modern tailoring.

Now, along with other items at Abercrombie, these jeans are 30% off.
In time for Labor Day, these signature Lululemon Align leggings just landed in the We Made Too Much section in a rainbow of hues.

Gap introduced its UltraSoft jeans for those who despise denim that require a painful break-in time or flimsy fabrics that lose their shape by noon. This pair’s Tencel-and-cotton blend lends them a fluid drape that feels comfortable. They are relaxed through the hips, dramatically loose through the leg and constructed with enough attention to detail that they look three times their actual price tag — all for up to 71% off.

Vegamour’s Ageless serum takes a surprisingly sophisticated swing at anti-aging by skipping harsh dyes and leaning on a cocktail of peptides, proteins and Fo-Ti root extract.

This year’s Labor Day weekend falls a tad later than previous years. For 2026, the holiday lands on Monday, Sept. 7, to usher in the unofficial end of summer. So there’s just under a week left to enjoy the season before fall weather starts cooling off the summer sun.
Most deals are already live. Altland has been covering holiday weekends like Labor Day for over a decade, and if there’s one thing she has learned, it’s that the deals keep starting earlier and earlier. So, if CNN Underscored’s deals editors share an all-time low discount or the best price of the year on something that catches your eye, it’s not necessarily worth waiting until the actual holiday weekend to click “buy.” In some cases, the best deals even sell out before Labor Day comes to a close.
Just about every major retailer will be offering Labor Day deals. As summer comes to an end and shoppers begin shifting their focus to the winter holidays toward the end of 2026, Labor Day serves as a first look at what those end-of-year deals will look like.
The savings this year will include everything from big-name storefronts like Amazon, Best Buy, Nordstrom and Walmart to specialized retailers like Apple, Columbia, Lululemon and Sephora. If previous years are anything to go off of, we also expect to see massive sales at home improvement stores such as The Home Depot and Lowe’s.
It entirely depends on what you’re shopping for. Just like previous tentpole events, the best Labor Day deals aren’t going to be found at just a single retailer. Luckily, you can leave it to us at CNN Underscored to scour the internet for you. No need to comparison shop among websites; we’ll already be doing that. Kick back and enjoy the last few weeks of summer while we do the hard work for you.
The deals team and I are constantly researching all the season’s best deals. That, of course, carries over to events like this holiday weekend, so you can cut right to saving. Each team member, including CNN Underscored’s deals editor Jacqueline Saguin, is dialed in to specific beats to help surface the best of the best deals. That means you can trust us to deliver shopping expertise on how to save and what gear and gadgets are worth your money.
CNN Underscored’s deals editors scour the internet daily for the best available sales and discounts, then put them on your radar in real time. They utilize a range of techniques and consider a variety of factors — price history checks, available coupon codes, competitor pricing — to determine if a deal is worthy of coverage (and your money).
For this article, CNN Underscored senior deals editor Rikka Altland and deals editor Jacqueline Saguin shopped around the entire web to find the most notable markdowns worthy of your Labor Day barbecue and beyond. Altland has been doing just that for over a decade, and that kind of experience extends to the rest of our deals team. Being an advocate for buyers to make sure we’re only recommending the best prices on the best products is what we’re all about, and that focus comes across in our work.
