Should you shop the Best Buy Labor Day Sale 2021?

In a word, yes. The Best Buy Labor Day Sale is always worth checking out. Generally offering good value, it encompasses a wide range of different products with Best Buy keen to offer deep discounts wherever possible.

You may be considering holding off on a big purchase until Black Friday which we get, but you shouldn’t need to worry. Generally, Black Friday isn’t quite as strong a sales season as it once was meaning that often, you’ll find just as good deals during Labor Day sales as you would if you wait until later in the year. The benefit here is that you get to enjoy your newfound purchase for a little longer this way plus you don’t have to worry about stretching your finances between sales season and the holidays.

As with any sales purchase, it’s worth thinking a little before you hit the buy button. Do you really need the item in question or are you being lured in by an incremental discount? Best Buy has some big discounts and some smaller ones too but, ultimately, the principal remains the same — it’s only a good deal if you genuinely need the item in question! Also, consider your budget. It’s easy to get carried away and spend way too much cash on something frivolous or excessive. Don’t be tempted to overspend unless you can truly stretch a little further.

A good deal is only a good deal if you need it and can afford it. Do your research beforehand so you know that you’re buying the right item for you. Check out our extensive buyers guide roundups and reviews to learn more about each product before you hit the buy button so you know you’ve got just the right piece of technology for you.

Finally, bear in mind that these sales are strictly limited. If the item runs out of stock or you wait too long, you might miss out on a great bargain. Labor Day sales only last for so long and you won’t want to miss out if you know you definitely want a new item.

Here's a package that you should consider -- the Arlo Pro 5S security camera bundle for only $200 from Best Buy, following a huge $300 discount on its original price of $500. This offer started yesterday and will only last through the day today though, so if you want to get it for less than half-price, you'll need to complete your transaction for it immediately. Don't wait until the last minute as there's a chance that the stocks that are up for sale run out quickly!

Why you should buy the Arlo Pro 5S security camera bundle
It's the Arlo Pro 4 that's sitting on top of our list of the best home security cameras, but the Arlo Pro 5S is an amazing option. Our Arlo Pro 5S versus Arlo Pro 4 comparison reveals that the newer model is worth the extra cost for features such as dual-band Wi-Fi with support for 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks, a low power mode that saves up to 30% more battery, and enhanced protection during Wi-Fi outages. The Arlo Pro 5S is capable of capturing videos at up to 2K resolution with a 160-degree viewing angle and color night vision.

Best Buy is the home of the best SSD deals right now, with a huge $75 off the Samsung 990 Evo Plus 4TB SSD. Usually $345, it’s down to $270 for a limited time only, and it’s one of the best brands and sizes around. If you keep running out of space on your PC due to the games you have installed or the video editing you’re performing, this is the kind of upgrade you need. Here’s all you need to know about it while the $75 discount continues. If you need something more portable, there are plenty of external hard drive deals out there too.

Why you should buy the Samsung 990 Evo Plus 4TB SSD
Buying an SSD is an important part of your PC building experience. SSDs are far more useful for anything speedy than a regular hard drive. Go too small or too slow and it’s going to have a negative effect on how much you enjoy your system, no matter how fast your CPU might be, for instance. Buying one of the best SSDs helps a ton here, and Samsung is often a good name to pursue.

If you’ve just snagged one of the many Amazon Echo deals around and you’re keen to continue making your home smarter on a budget, we’ve spotted some great smart lighting deals. Today at Best Buy, you can buy Govee LED Strip Lights on slae: just $25 for a 10 foot strip instead of $30, or $41 instead of $50 for 25 feet. We’re focusing on the 50 foot Govee LED Strip Light for $55 instead of $65, as it’s the best discount and you get a huge string of lights for the price. If all that sounds exciting, read on and we’ll tell you all about how well Govee lights work.

Why you should buy the Govee LED Strip Light
While the ruler of the best smart light bulb world is Philips Hue, I’d argue Govee is the best for light strips. I have a lot of Govee lights at home, and they were much more affordable than alternatives and work very well. The only disadvantage is the app isn’t quite as simple to use, but you soon get used to it.
