Saving: Big deals over Labor Day weekend

The long Labor Day weekend brings a lot of time on the beach, barbecues and shopping!

Before you hit the holiday sales, we are here to help you navigate your best buys!

Kiplinger.com says there are hot deals on appliances, with discounts up to 45% off on the big ones. Online purchases with coupon codes will snag you the best deals here.

Summer fun items get slashed big time, from bicycles to camping gear and patio furniture.

Last year, Lowes, Target and Walmart offered deals up to 75% off and it looks like the same is true for this year.

Mattresses also go on sale this weekend with Sears taking 60% off. Macys is also having a sale.

Here's what you should wait on: grills! Kiplinger and deal news say the sales are better deeper into September.

Same goes for fall apparel and electronics, which hit their lowest prices on Black Friday.
