When do Labor Day TV sales start?
Labor Day will happen on September 2, which is today, so you can start shopping immediately for the best Labor Day TV deals. We expect the discounts to ramp up and retailers to roll out even more bargains throughout the day and potentially tomorrow, although if you see something now, you should pick it up since stocks may not last that long.
Which retailer has the best TV Labor Day deals so far?
When it comes to electronics like TVs, the fight always seems to mostly be between Amazon and Best Buy, with Walmart generally treading a little bit behind. This year, it seems Best Buy not only has some of the best TV deals but also some of the widest variety of deals you’re going to find. Even so, Amazon comes as a close second, so if you want to lean on something like Amazon Prime for some additional savings, then you aren’t going to miss out a ton on deals if you shop there instead. Walmart is also not doing too badly, although it’s not going at the same level as Amazon and Best Buy.
Should you shop Labor Day TV deals or wait until Black Friday?
The discounts that you can get from Labor Day TV deals are going to be amazing, but nothing can beat the prices of Black Friday. Every retailer is already preparing their Labor Day TV sales, but they’re also looking ahead to the shopping frenzy that Black Friday will bring. We can’t predict how low prices will go though, so if there’s a TV that catches your eye on Labor Day, you can go ahead and make the purchase.
It’s all a matter of figuring out how long you can wait before you buy a new TV. If you need it soon, you may want to look forward for the Labor Day TV sales to start, and even already go for the early offers that are available right now. However, if you can still wait a few months before purchasing an upgrade, you should check out what this year’s Black Friday will bring. There’s definitely potential for Black Friday sales to offer lower prices, but there’s also a risk that the cost of the TV that you’re planning to buy would be the same between Labor Day and Black Friday, so just be prepared for that.
