When is Labor Day?
Labor Day always falls on the first Monday of September. This year, it is on Monday, Sept. 7. However, you can expect deals leading up to and during the long weekend since it’s a federal holiday.
How did we choose these Labor Day deals?
ZDNET only writes about deals that capture our own interest — devices and products we want, need, or would recommend not only to our readers, but to friends and family. Our experts look for deals at least 20% off (or hardly ever on sale), using established price-comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually worth your time.
We also examine customer reviews and rely on our own hands-on experience with new tech to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products we’re recommending. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice and to make you aware of price drops so you can shop smarter.
