The Best Amazon Labor Day Sales From $3, Per a Shopping Expert

Over the last seven years in my role as a shopping editor at Real Simple, I’ve studied and reported on stores, products, and sales, and learned all of the best ways—and times of year—to save. And just in case you didn’t know, one of your best chances to score savings is happening this week.

Droves of retailers, including Amazon, have impressive Labor Day sales happening through Monday, September 1. Amazon’s massive event has steep savings up to 70 percent off across its departments, including markdowns on end-of-season summer items and everything you need for fall. I’m getting what I need for the season ahead, including fall fashion, now while it’s all going for less. Here’s everything in my cart, from $3.

Editor-Loved Amazon Labor Day Sales

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream

I always stock up on this hydrating face cream whenever it’s on sale. It’s the one and only moisturizer I’ve found in my price range that counteracts the drying and irritating effects of my retinol, allowing me to use the acne-fighting, dark spot-brightening, and line-reducing topical on my face several nights a week with no flaking or dryness.

Pasaor Brass Picture Lights 2-Pack

The start of fall always feels like a nice reset, so I’m investing in a few pieces to spruce up my home, including these picture lights. They have extendable, adjustable arms, allowing me to position them where they’ll be best suited to showcase my framed artwork. They also come with a remote control, allowing you to change their brightness and warmth. The versatile lights come in three finishes, but I’m opting for the brass set to mimic the elegant lights you’d see in a museum. 

Rebecca Minkoff Darren SM Shoulder Bag

This discounted designer bag is the perfect fall accent for almost any outfit. Its warm hue will complement all of the burgundy, olive, and other dark hues I plan to wear this season. And thanks to its roomy size and long shoulder strap, this crossbody will be just the thing I reach for when I want to go hands-free and need a sizable bag to hold my essentials.

Mordeer Solid Wood Dining Table

I’m finally investing in a dining table for my small home, and this solid wood piece is just the thing to fit my budget and space. Thanks to its lasting, durable material, I know that I’ll be able to use this for decades to come, and because it’s solid wood, I can refinish or paint it at some point if I want to give it a new look. I love that it’s fairly simple, but not too plain thanks to the  eye-catching “wave” feature along its edge. 

Madewell Clean Western Belt

I’ve had my eye on this Madewell accessory for this entire year, and it’s finally on sale. My go-to belt is starting to fray and fall apart, so I’ll need a new one soon, and this beauty is classic, but still interesting thanks to its gold stud details.

Levi’s Ribcage Full Length Jeans

Black jeans are a wardrobe staple that are easy to style with tons of pieces from casual T-shirts to dressy blouses. Unfortunately, my current pair is starting to fade, looking more gray and less black with every wash, so I’m going to grab this classic style while it’s marked down. I already own these jeans in a dark blue hue, which hasn’t faded at all, so I’m betting I’ll have better luck with this pair. 

Olive and June Nail File Three-Pack

My favorite nail polish brand, which has helped me achieve salon-worthy results at home for years now, has an arsenal of helpful products that I use every week to upkeep my nails. I already own these inexpensive, but effective nail files, so I’m coming back for a fresh set while they’re just $1 apiece. 

Plenty of my favorite past purchases are also on sale for Labor Day weekend, including the noise-canceling Apple AirPods Pro that I use everyday and the laundry booster that I add to every load of whites to keep them looking new.
