5 Deals You Need to Know Today: It's Labor Day! (The "It's" is Short for "It Was")
I suggest that when Labor Day sales carry on past the holiday itself, they should be called Belabor Day sales. But no luck yet, judging by this Lowe's deal. Check out this offer and more in our roundup of the five best deals we found over the last 24 hours.

Lowe's Labor Day Sale 2025
Up to 50% offFor weeks, we've been writing about Labour Day sales, noting with arched eyebrows and dangerously-enlarged aortae that the sales were arriving long before that day in question, making a mockery of time itself. And now look at us: writing about a Labour Day sale, a day late. How embarrassing for us. But not for you, the canny customer caring not for calendars, only for cratering costs. May our belated shove in the direction of Lowe's serve you well.
Top Portable Speaker Deal
Monster MFS 1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
$35.99This speaker (discounted via a conveniently clippable coupon) promises, in its marketing spiel, "pure Monster sound", which seems great, but then you turn it on and it's just The Wolf Man and The Thing (gross dog form) badly beatboxing. This is mostly unrelated, but I remember being in some museum or other years ago, looking at displays and models of the world's deadliest creatures, from dinosaurs to sharks to lions and whatever else. All very serious and earnest, then at the end, you get to a little cabinet with double doors, with a sign reading "Open these doors to see the most dangerous creature on earth". Obviously, behind the doors awaited a mirror, but I amused myself for a good fifteen minutes imagining Wolf Man behind there. Sometimes you make your own fun.

Crocs Deals at Walmart
From $13I can never quite work out where Crocs lie on the cultural spectrum. They seem to be at once universally mocked and universally worn, like some kind of wearable mid-2000s Nickelback. But this sale is more like Chad Walmart. There's a joke I didn't see coming when I started this paragraph.
Top Accessory Deal
Timberland Men's Leather RFID Blocking Trifold Wallet
$9.99Wallets are interesting because they're something you can look at and think "Oh yeah, that's a nice design", but I don't think anyone on earth has ever bought one on a whim. It is either a case of your previous wallet being lost or damaged, or someone bought you a new one for lack of a better available birthday or Christmas gift. It's September, so maybe a bit too distant from Christmas for GIFT PANIC, but, y'know. It's Christmas O'Clock somewhere.
Top Apparel Deal
Under Armour Labor Day Sale 2025
Up to 50% off + extra 40% off + 15% offCombining coupons is a lot like mixing a cocktail. You've got — let's say — a half-price Under Armour T-shirt. That's your base spirit. Then you've got your 40% off coupon, "LABORDAY". That's your acid. Then your 15% off coupon, "EXTRA15", is like your sweetener. Now, classic mixology would say your acid and sweetener should be more balanced than that, but spend any time looking at people discussing recipes and you'll see a constant stream of people saying things like "A little on the sweet side for me — I removed the sugar syrup and orange Curacao, and doubled the lemon juice and added a quarter ounce of strychnine. Just right :)" People are weird. Anyway, shipping is like your glass, because it costs extra.
