Overview

• Deal experts point to five standout buys: summer cooling gear and grills, last year’s large appliances, outdoor furniture, back-to-school apparel, and select Apple devices.
• The peak discount period typically runs from the Thursday before Labor Day through Monday, though many promotions are already live.
• Apple’s education-store promotion runs through September 30, allowing eligible students, parents, and educators to add accessories to iPad or MacBook purchases for up to $199 in extra savings.
• Upcoming model releases in September and October drive markdowns on prior-year washers, dryers, and dishwashers as retailers clear stock.
• Shoppers may face limited inventory on seasonal items and are advised to compare prices across sellers, with Amazon and Best Buy sometimes undercutting Apple on device pricing.
