The best Labor Day deals you can get right now

It's always sad when summer comes to an end. But the good news is that Labor Day means another long weekend—not to mention the opportunity to save on a ton of merchandise before the holiday shopping season really kicks off. Even though Labor Day isn't until September 2, many retailers are already offering deep discounts on a range of tech products, some of which rival the Prime Day deals we saw in July.

For example, Apple’s latest generation iPad is currently on sale for less than $200. Other edge-approved items have also fallen to all-time lows, including Sonos' Era 100 speaker, Amazon's latest Echo Spot, and the entry-level Kindle. Granted, many of these products have been a bit cheaper in the past—and it's possible we'll see even better deals at Amazon's next Prime Day event in October—but now is a good time to pick up any last-minute school supplies or start working on your wish list. After all, it rarely hurts to get a head start, even if your wallet might say otherwise.
