Here are the 6 how-to steps. - Author: Smart Senior Daily Staff - Tags: Shopping, Online Shopping Labor Day isn't as deep and wide as Amazon Prime days or Black Friday, but there are things that are really a "deal" and not just marketing noise (like the "50 deals to shop now" kind of yadda). SSD did some research on the possibilities, and, true, there's not a lot, but there might be some things you could use and would like to save some money on. Here's what we found. ## Mattresses & Outdoor Furniture Genuine peak pricing, **on par with or beating Black Friday**. Outdoor furniture and patio hit annual deepest cuts of 40-60% off at Labor Day rather than Memorial Day, while mattresses tie their yearly peak with Memorial Day and Presidents Day at 25-50% off. Examples: 40% off Bear mattresses with code FORBES40, up to 60% off select styles at Crate & Barrel, up to 70% off furniture at Wayfair; also found - Nectar Classic Memory Foam up to 50% off, Saatva Classic Luxury Firm up to $625 off [Best Mattresses for Seniors in 2026 | Senior Sleep Comfort MattresBe sure to download our mattress comparison chart![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d9/1a/d91a71e8-ed81-4ec8-8028-ec14ba129b35/content/images/icon/SSD-FavIcon1-e8da6e18-5d25-49d5-8126-cd47802520ae.png)Smart Senior DailySmart Senior Daily Staff![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d9/1a/d91a71e8-ed81-4ec8-8028-ec14ba129b35/content/images/thumbnail/Mattresses-1-2da64c15-7644-4460-bcd9-c6639b476c20.png)](https://www.smartseniordaily.com/best-mattresses-for-seniors-in-2026/) ## Major Appliances Decent, but not the best window. Appliances are worth buying if a purchase is already planned, though not worth rushing into purely for the sale. July 4 and Black Friday usually match or beat Labor Day appliance depth. One shopping tracker did note **refrigerators, dishwashers, ranges, and microwaves seeing 20-35% off, plus free haul-away of the old unit** worth $50-150 in disposal fees — helpful for anyone on a fixed income. Smart Senior Daily ### How to Tell If a "Deal" Is Really a Deal 1 Look up the price history Free tools like CamelCamelCamel show what an item actually sold for in past months. 2 Compare to the last big sale Same price as July 4th with a new banner isn't a discount, it's a relabel. 3 Check what's included A bigger discount that drops free extras may cost the same in the end. 4 Know if it's the right window Mattresses and outdoor furniture peak now. Electronics peak at Black Friday. 5 Ignore the countdown clock Real sales don't need a ticking timer. Sleep on it — the deal is usually still there tomorrow. 6 Ask for a better price in person For big-ticket items like appliances, asking "is this the best you can do" often works, especially at local retailers. A Smart Senior Daily quick-reference guide ## Electronics/TVs/Laptops Except for Amazon, skip entirely. The depth gap versus Black Friday runs 5 to 15 percentage points, so wait until November. [Amazon does have a carousel of deals](https://amzn.to/4zQtrK1?ref=smartseniordaily.com) in this department that runs now through Labor Day. Examples: [This Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush 50% off](https://amzn.to/46EXqXP?ref=smartseniordaily.com); [Amazon Echo Show nearly 30% off](https://amzn.to/4y5BvoChttps://amzn.to/4y5BvoC?ref=smartseniordaily.com) – perfect for families who want to keep in touch with each other (one person can use an Echo Show while the other person uses the **Alexa app** on an iPhone, Android phone, or Fire Tablet).
