The Amazon Labor Day Sale for 2025 Is Live

Amazon Labor Day Sale 2025 - The Best Deals So Far

There are a ton of items listed on Amazon's Labor Day sale page, but I dug a little bit deeper to find the overall best deals. Everything on this list is either at its lowest price ever, its lowest price in 2025, or is a special promotion that Amazon is running concurrently with its Labor Day offerings. I made use of CamelCamelCamel, the popular price tracker, to make sure everything listed here is truly a great discount.

The most enticing deal I could find is a discount on a Magic: The Gathering bundle. The Final Fantasy crossover has been extremely popular and this is one of the first discounts we've seen on anything from that set. We actually covered this deal earlier this week when it went live, so it's unclear how much longer it will last.

If you're more interested in finding deals on Nintendo Switch accessories, the CoBak Switch 2 carrying case is currently at its lowest-ever price. This case comes bundled with two screen protectors, thumb grips, and can hold up to 24 game cartridges. And while Amazon doesn't seem to have many Nintendo games on sale right now to help you fill this case, Best Buy has Switch game discounts you can browse ahead of Labor Day weekend.

If you're looking to save on everyday essentials, there's also a special promotion going on now that gives you a $15 credit when you spend $50 or more on select items. This includes things like toilet paper, trash bags, hand soap, plastic wrap and other household items. The credit will only apply to future Amazon purchases, but it's definitely worth browsing if you need to stock up on some things for your home.

For PS5 owners there's a surpringly great deal on Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4. This is a game that just recently came out in 2025 and this is the first major discount we've seen. Amazon has quite a few other PS5 games on sale as well if you're not into skating games, but this is the best deal of the bunch.

For parents looking to do some back-to-school shopping, I managed to find a great deal on a Pokémon backpack. It's a bundle that also includes a pencil holder, a utility case, a keychain, and some additional items for only $25.99. This is a great value if you're just looking for a backpack for a younger kid.

Finally, the last few deals I want to highlight are on some fun items that don't get discounted that often. The most notable discount in this area is the LEGO Hogwarts Castle and Grounds set. It's a recreation of the castle from Harry Potter and has dropped back down to its lowest price ever for Labor Day. This is one of the best LEGO deals I could find available on Amazon, but the Target Labor Day sale has some Star War sets worth checking out as well.

Then there's the Mistborn board game deal, which has dropped further in price since I first covered this board game deal earlier last week. It's a great buy for any fans of Brandon Sanderson's book series of the same name.

What should you buy during Labor Day sales?

In general, everything goes on sale during Labor Day weekend. That being said, this isn't necessarily the best time to buy everything just because it has a fresh discount plastered on it. If you're looking for some general advice about what products are likely to have the biggest price drops, I've put together a quick list of what to look for. Each of these product categories featured below tend to get some of the best discounts during this time every year as Labor Day coincides with back-to-school season.

• Furniture
• Appliances
• Laptops & PCs
• TVs
• Mattresses
• Clothing & Shoes
• Grills
• Books
• School Supplies

Should You Shop Now or Wait for Black Friday?

Historically, Labor Day sales are not even close to the same level as Black Friday. This is true on Amazon and at pretty much every other major retailer. That being said, 2025 has been a bit of an outlier so far in terms of prices. The ongoing U.S. tariffs have continued to cause uncertainty, and we're already seeing the impact of that on things like recent gaming console price increases. So while Black Friday will still most likely have bigger savings, it doesn't hurt to get some shopping in now while things are discounted.

In general, right now is probably one of the best times of the year to buy a laptop, mattress, or just about any furniture. So you can likely feel good about any discounts you find in those areas as long as you do some price research first. A lot of the clothing deals we see during Labor Day sales are also unlikely to be around during November as retailers try to dump summer clothes at a discount during this time.

I'd still suggest waiting for Black Friday to come around before you try to make any really big purchases. Despite all of the uncertainty around price increases, this will still be the time when retailers bring out their best discount to compete for your business.

More Labor Day Sales

If you're looking for more Labor Day sales, pretty much all of the major retailers have big discounts this weekend. Most notably, the Walmart Labor Day sale and Best Buy Labor Day sale has kicked off with some tech and gaming deals that Amazon doesn't have. There's also the massive Wayfair Labor Day sale that has similar discounts on furniture you'd find on Amazon. You can check out the thread below for more or browse the sales I've featured above.
