All The Labor Day Online Sales You Can't Miss

by Rosie Narasaki

Everyone gets really excited for Black Friday, but another golden sale shopping opportunity is coming up soon: Labor Day. It's just around the corner, and it's sure to bring a whole host of bargains with it. It's fun to get your shop on during the Labor Day online sales — after all, it's the perfect time to stock up on all things back-to-school (from pencil cases to adorable, first-day-of-school boots) and it also happens to be a great time to score some major deals in the summer clearance section.

Another bonus? Pretty much every single store you can think of will be offering a sale of their own, from your favorite indie jewelry artist on Etsy, to that outlet mall you go to on weekends. So, the real question is, what kind of discount can you get at each store? And when can you start?

Heck, Labor Day's not even here for two more weeks, and there are already tons of great deals floating around the internet. Places like J. Crew, Banana Republic, and Aeropostale are getting a head start with pre-Labor Day discounts (including some pretty substantial markdowns) which is exciting, to say the least. The sales will start to heat up even more as we get closer and closer to the big weekend — so let's take a look at some cool online shopping Labor Day deals to really kick things off.

Aveda

With the code "AVEDALS" you can grab free shipping plus a sample with your order, through Sept. 5th.

J. Crew

J. Crew is currently offering 30 percent off orders of $200 or more, and 25 percent off orders over $125 — all you need to do is type in the code "SHOPMORE" at checkout.

Bernardo

From Sept. 1 through 5, Bernardo will be offering 20 percent off sitewide, if you use the code "CELEBRATE."

The Gap has a pretty nifty deal where you can earn different levels of "Gap Cash" (a.k.a. store credit) depending on how much you spend. Until Labor Day, you get $25 back for every $50 you spend.
