The best sales, best deals and best discounts of September 2020 on your favorite products during Labor Day weekend and beyond can be found in this handy guide.

October is coming up fast but there are still plenty of sales and deals for you to take advantage of in September. Now that kids have returned to school, be that online or in-person, were seeing lingering back-to-school sales from retailers like Target, Kohls and Walmart. And as we enjoy the end of summer, stores offer slashed items, including clothing and outdoor furniture. Finally, while we continue to work from home, retailers like Dell, Costco and Lenovo are giving you discounted work-from-home essentials, including tablets, laptops and more.
Best things to buy in September, and what can wait
To better understand how to make the most of shopping in September, we consulted Julie Ramhold, a consumer analyst from DealNews.com. While Ramhold said the most notable sales and deals on mattresses and large appliances likely occurred during Labor Day, you can still save on end of summer discounts. One of the top things to look out for is clothing. Retailers such as Lululemon and Macys are offering large discounts on athleisure and summer fashion. Additionally, stores like Wayfair and Home Depot are offering deals on patio furniture.
And while we will most likely see the largest savings on TVs and other tech during Black Friday, this year, stores offer work from home essentials at discounted prices. Likewise, as kids returned to school and many parents have received solidified back-to-school shopping lists, retailers like Office Depot and Staples offer sales on printer paper, sticky notes and pens.
Ramhold noted that while September would usually include sales on travel and Broadway tickets, those have been postponed or will not be offered due to the coronavirus. She also suggested waiting until October if you want the most savings on Halloween decorations, costumes and candy. Finally, although we expected to see lower prices on older iPhones, we will most likely see discounted prices on older models once the iPhone 12 line is launched.
