Where To Shop For Late-Summer Deals
The end of summer’s approaching, but Labor Day sales are already underway. Here are 9 places to score deep discounts now.

It may feel like summer just started, but Labor Day is just a couple of weeks away. Don’t let that reality get you down: Enjoy a little retail therapy to boost your mood. The best part about shopping this time of year is that many stores are making room for fall inventory, meaning they’re offering deep discounts on summer apparel and swimwear (hey, it’s still beach season!) It’s also a great time to look for back-to-school bargains on clothing and supplies, such as backpacks and laptops.
Below are a few stores holding mid-summer and pre-Labor Day sales. Happy shopping!
