9 things not to buy on Labor Day

Avoid these items now and save up to 40% in 1-3 weeks.

It's almost Christmas time as far as retailers are concerned! Labor Day marks the last major holiday shopping weekend before Black Friday and Cyber Monday. While there are reductions on Columbus Day, Labor Day is one of the last attempts to get you to spend.

In my mission to help you save, I want to remind you that not all sales are created equal on Labor Day and there are some very specific purchases I would avoid.

Before we get to what I would not buy, patio furniture and BBQ-related items are seeing incredible price drops. Appliances are a great grab from Home Depot and Lowes and you can find good deals on vehicle leases and purchases at local dealers. Household furniture is also a great purchase from local stores.
