Labor Day weekend is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. You can expect money-saving discounts on mattresses, tech, kitchen gear and more. Instead of going straight to the usual deal roundups, I asked ChatGPT: “What are the best current Labor Day deals across tech, home goods and apparel?”

Could an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot actually predict real-time offers? Would its suggestions really reflect live sales? Below, we’ll compare ChatGPT’s picks to what’s actually on sale and how well the AI held up to give you real deals to keep an eye out for this Labor Day.
Also here are the best Labor Day deals at Target.
What ChatGPT Predicted
ChatGPT zeroed in on four big categories:
- Mattresses and Bedding: Expect major discounts on brands like Tempur-Pedic, Nectar, Purple, Bear, Helix, Saatva and more.
- Tech and TVs: Big-screen TVs, Apple gear (MacBooks, AirPods) and Amazon devices.
- Home and Kitchen: Brands like Dyson, GE and more.
- Travel and Luggage: Discounts on suitcases, luggage sets and vacation packages.

Reality Check: What’s Actually Live Right Now
ChatGPT’s predictions were broad, so I fact-checked them by looking at specific brands. Here’s how they stacked up against the real deals already live.
Mattresses and Bedding
Naturally, I fact-checked ChatGPT’s claims and found dozens of Labor Day mattress deals. Major brands are already offering steep savings:
These are just a handful of the bigger sales available now. Plenty of other retailers and mattress-in-a-box brands are running Labor Day discounts as well.
TVs and Tech
Deals are rolling in fast:
- Amazon — Up to 50% off brands like LG, Samsung, OLED and more
- Walmart — Rollbacks on TVs, smart home tech and streaming devices, with savings varying by brand and model
If you’re looking to upgrade your setup or stock up on brands you love, these are among the best deals live right now, with more likely to surface as the weekend draws closer.
Home, Kitchen and Appliances
Retailers are offering discounts across categories:
- Home Depot — Up to 60% off kitchen appliances and home essentials
- Lowe’s — Up to 40% off kitchen appliances and home essentials
- Best Buy — Up to 50% off appliances, plus 24-month financing on appliances and grill purchases over $1,499
From refrigerators to lawn mowers, the holiday sales stretch to every corner of the house and yard. This is the perfect time for those home upgrades you’ve been thinking about.
Travel and Luggage
A less obvious but growing category. Labor Day tends to bring luggage, travel gear and even airfare/hotel deals.
- Samsonite — Up to 40% off luggage sets
- Away — Up to 20% off select suitcases
- Expedia — Hotel and vacation package discounts (timed around the holiday)
These savings are well-timed for anyone booking holiday trips. In addition to traditional appliance sales and electronics, Labor Day is a smart moment to invest in luggage and travel deals.
Use ChatGPT as a starting point, but rely on trusted deal hubs for the most accurate, up-to-the-minute discounts this Labor Day.
