“Buy Coach items at Macy’s and save at least 40% off,” Ramhold said. “This sale offers prices starting ridiculously low for designer goods including sandals from $40, wallets from $39, and handbags from $117. If you’re doing holiday shopping early, or just want a new designer item for yourself, this is definitely worth checking out. The Taylor Tote in Pebble Leather in the color Rouge especially caught our eye as the color is suitable for spring and summer, and is also a nice fall look; plus it’s $165 compared [to] its usual $275, so you’ll save $110.”

“Upgrade your large appliances with Home Depot’s sale, offering up to 53% off,” Ramhold said. “Labor Day is a great time to shop for appliances, but we normally only see discounts in the range of 30% to 40% off; with Home Depot taking as much as 53% off in some cases, this is definitely a sale worth shopping. Several popular brands are discounted, including GE, Samsung, Whirlpool, LG, and KitchenAid, but what makes this even better is that in addition to those initial savings, you can also find further savings with select purchases that qualify for rebates.”

“Chewy’s Labor Day sale is taking up to 50% off,” Ramhold said. “There are a ton of items on sale, and across multiple categories – it’s not just for cats and dogs! We buy most of our supplies for our cats from Chewy – they have fast shipping and their customer service is top-notch – so we might be a little biased. But I will say this cat toy is one of our latest purchases and one of our cats is already addicted to it. Even better, that’s one of Chewy’s special deals — adding that to your cart qualifies you for a $25 eGift card with a $50 purchase of eligible items.”
