5 ON YOUR SIDE: September deals

5 ON YOUR SIDE: September dealsLabor Day Weekend sales are behind some of the year’s deepest discounts on various items but don’t worry if you miss out on Monday.

Labor Day Weekend sales are behind some of the year’s deepest discounts on various items. And while the holiday will come and go, Consumer Reports says September is still a smart time to shop and save, just as stores switch gears for fall.

No need to worry if shopping isn’t on your schedule this Labor Day. CR says deals on some of the priciest purchases for your home don’t always end when the weekend does. Many of these sales stick around, especially for big-ticket items like large appliances and mattresses, so you can still save even if you missed the holiday weekend.

Now, you can snag a Casper Dream Queen Mattress for $600 less on the company’s website at Casper, which costs $1325. CR’s tests show it’s comfy, durable, and a standout for petite back sleepers.

Another smart pick is the LG Washing Machine WM3400CW. Even at full price, it’s a deal, but at Lowe’s, it costs $582, where you can save hundreds. CR says the front-loader offers exceptional washing performance, along with water and energy efficiency.

If you’re suffering from the summertime blues, CR says a new season can equal savings. As retailers begin to shift into fall mode, there’s a really good opportunity to save on many items that will carry you into the new season, like the battery-powered Ego Leaf Blower LB7654, which is on sale atLowe’s for $329 and on Amazon. Perched at the top of CR’s ratings, members love that it’s reliable, powerful, and easy to handle.

If your favorite season is football season, the top-rated Coleman Roadtrip 285 Portable Grill is tailor-made for tailgating (or camping), and it’s marked down to $295 atAmazon and $280 atMacy’s. Its legs have built-in wheels, which make it easy to take along.

Believe it or not, October’s on the way, and so are the first holiday sales.

Happy shopping!
