Now that the Labor Day 2015 weekend is here, so too are the Labor Day 2015 sales. With gas prices at their lowest point since 2004, more people are taking this opportunity to cash in on some great Labor Day sales.

You’ll also find a full line of watches, shoes, Hello Kitty items and liquidation deals rounding out the holiday shopping event.

Everything from household goods, electronics, clothes, televisions, toys, shoes, furniture and appliances are all on sale.  For many retailers, these Labor Day sales mark a time to clear out inventory before the next big holiday shopping event: Black Friday. Because many retailers are
clearing out their stock, it’s a great time to get last minute sales on summer items as well.  Labor Day weekend 2015, is an excellent time to take advantage of these deals and get next year’s summer gear on sale! You’ll find bbq items, grills, swimwear, pools, swimming accessories and pool equipment all on sale this Labor Day weekend.

Labor Day is a federal holiday, but many retailers remain open to the public and offer deep discounts, sales and deals. You may also find many Labor Day sales online as well. With many people expected to travel up to 50 miles this weekend, cashing in on great Labor Day sales and deals online not only saves time, but gas mileage as well.

What is Labor Day? (videos)


The first Monday of every September, Americans and Canadians celebrate Labor Day. But just what is Labor Day and how did this holiday come to exist? If you have ever wondered about the origins of Labor Day, you certainly aren't alone. While in today's society, many associate the holiday with barbecues, great sales and a day off of school (or the signaling that it's time to go back to school), Labor Day is about much more than a chance to relax after the Fourth of July and before the fall festivities begin.
First Labor Day Parade held in NY City

Labor Day celebrates union workers fight for fair wages, safety on the work front, and the
end and prevention of child exploitation through child labor.

According to the United States Department of Labor, the Central Labor Union held the first official Labor Day on Sept. 5, 1882. Not only was it a time to ensure that laborers had a day of rest from their hard work, but it was also a time of reflection. From the colonial period to the industrial revolution, the contributions made by laborers to the building of the United States of America could not go without notice.
