Labor Day weekend is sneaking up on us, and while it may be our farewell to summer, it also marks one of the three big shopping events left in 2024. With items on sale ranging from furniture and mattresses to outdoor grills and TVs, Labor Day can be one of the best times to shop big ticket items outside of Black Friday sales. Home improvement retailer Lowe's is getting in on the sales event early with a variety of items already marked down ahead of the Labor Day weekend.
Outdoor items are discounted including lawn and garden tools and patio furniture, along with grills, home appliances, electronics and more. We've rounded up some of the best deals for you below, with an emphasis on brands we know and love and the most significant savings. Whether you want to set up for an autumn outdoor movie night or you just need to replace your lawn mower, we've found deals to help.

Right now we're seeing some pre-Labor Day sales on home appliances, tool sets, home security devices, lawn and garden tools, and items.
What should I buy from Lowe's Labor Day sales?
Labor Day brings savings on major home appliances so this can be a good time to get deals on refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, washer and dryer sets and similar. Lowe's is known for being a home-improvement store with lots of outdoor living items so we're expecting savings on items like lawnmowers and patio furniture.
