During Labor Day, buy countertop appliances, mattresses, lawn care essentials, fall clothing accessories and more. (Fox News Composite)
Labor Day weekend is here, and some of the biggest sales of the season are live. You'll find deals on everything from Crock-Pot slow cookers for fall stews to Samsonite luggage for early holiday travel and Nectar mattresses for easy bedroom upgrades. But not every Labor Day discount is worth jumping on. Here's what to buy this weekend — and what's worth waiting until Black Friday to get.
For more deals delivered straight to your inbox, sign up for the FOX News Deals newsletter.
What to buy this Labor Day — and what can wait
Buy now: Mattresses, patio furniture, grills, fire pits, leaf blowers, transitional clothing and power tools see strong Labor Day markdowns this year as retailers clear out summer inventory and roll out holiday-weekend sales.
It depends: Appliances (especially larger ones) go on sale throughout the year, so focus on especially steep Labor Day discounts and countertop appliances rather than buying just because there's a sale.
Consider waiting: Laptops, holiday décor, gaming consoles and smart-home devices may see stronger deals around Black Friday — unless you find an unusually good price now.

Gaming consoles: Gaming deals are worth watching around Black Friday, when Nintendo and other major gaming platforms often roll out holiday bundles and deeper discounts.

Smart home buys: Products like Ring and Blink doorbells, smart thermostats and other smart home and security devices have lower prices during Black Friday.
Holiday décor: Black Friday is also a smart time to shop holiday décor, since many people start decorating right after Thanksgiving. Look for deals on artificial trees, lights, wreaths and other seasonal finds.
