September is one of those months that is packed with deals, but be prepared – early in the month will be the best time to shop, so make your list now!
We’ll see amazing sales on mattresses, outdoor gear, and even Back to School – and the discounts will be impressive.
Labor Day Deals
Labor Day will be packed with deals across several categories. One of the more interesting is in the mattress category.

What Not to Buy in September
Winter apparel
Retailers may start to whet your whistle by putting new cold weather trends on display. Look, but don’t leap, as these items will likely be full price.
Appliances
You might see some deals in this category, but if you can wait, hold off until the big discounts around Black Friday & Cyber Monday.
