Best Labor Day Sales and Deals in Shreveport – Our Top 5

Labor Day is one of the best times to buy a new vehicle. With year end inventory on every car dealership owners mind, the incentives tend to be better during the Labor Day push to clear the lots and make room for next years models.

Digital deals are usually pretty hot during the Labor Day holiday weekend. With back to school shopping wrapping up and the pending Christmas shopping season about to officially spark, if you have had your eye on an E-reader or tablet PC this may be the time to nab it and stuff your find away for Christmas. Look for good deals on mid range electronics, or those that are usually in the $400 to $500 price range.

Are you a DIY junkie? If you get a rush from home renovation or if you (like me) would love to create the perfect back porch football/grilling retreat, check out the home improvement Labor Day deals. Traditionally the big home improvement stores such as Home Depot and Lowe's will have excellent Labor Day deals on grills, patio furniture, even on the day to day home improvement items. We are fortunate in the South that we will still have two full months of nice outdoor weather to enjoy clearance patio furniture from these giant retailers who mark down country wide. Also, don't forget to shop around for FREE SHIPPING!

Okay, when it comes to Labor Day furniture deals there is one super duper important thing to remember FREE SHIPPING if you do not buy locally. There will be, as always, good local Labor Day furniture deals as well. Shop around for 0% financing and the best shipping deals. If you have been thinking of upgrading your mattress Labor Day is a great time to save. Popular chains like JC Penney usually offer free shipping on purchases over a certain amount such as $50 along with great Labor Day mattress deals. Another recommendation for these big purchases would be to shop the weekend before Labor Day in order to have plenty of time to compare. If you shop ahead of time you will also have the luxury of online shopping without the fear of receiving a product that doesn't meet your expectations.

My favorite category: travel and outdoors. Labor Day is the time to snag the outdoor apparel, supplies, camping gear, tents, even airline tickets. Now, typically you can find some really good Labor Day airline fare deals for a late summer vacation, but this year there are no guarantees. Airlines have been hurting financially all year which means one of two things: no discounts or some super sales in an attempt to boost travel. When shopping for outdoor gear online will be where you find the best deals. Remember to shop for the best shipping deals as well.
