You can save up to 50% off on this summer's hottest products at Lowe's, including best-selling patio furniture, grills, and outdoor tools. August is the perfect month to score outdoor items for cheap, as retailers try to clear stock to make room for fall items. That makes it a great time to score record-low prices on seasonal items.

Lowe's is also offering up to 35% off major appliances, plus additional savings when you buy two or more appliances. That's similar to offers that I expect to see on Labor Day, as appliances are one of the most popular categories during the holiday event.

Below are links to Lowe's most popular sale categories, followed by the top deals on patio furniture, appliances, grills, bathroom products, lawnmowers and power tools. You can also find more of today's best early Labor Day sales further down the page.
