Labor Day is a great opportunity to save at Newegg—but which deals are actually worth your money? Here are the categories that typically see the deepest discounts. As Labor Day sales kick off, use this guide to zero in on big-ticket items that deliver real value and skip the rest.
What to Buy to Save Big (Tech Edition)
1) Components & Storage
-
NVMe (Gen4/Gen5) for faster loads and snappier projects.
-
DDR5 kits that match your board’s QVL to avoid instability.
-
CPU + Motherboard when you’re planning a bigger refresh.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
2) Computer Systems (Ready-to-Play)
-
Gaming desktops & laptops consolidate CPU/GPU/warranty—ideal if you want performance now without the screwdriver.
Use Best Deals/Best Sellers sorts; layer Free Shipping under Useful Links to keep the landed cost predictable.

3) Monitors & Peripherals
-
For gaming: 144–360Hz panels; for creators: color-accurate 27–32″.
-
Quality keyboard/mouse upgrades pay off every single day.

4) Networking & Smart Home
-
Wi-Fi 6E/7 routers or mesh kits for multi-device homes; smart-home gear for security and automation.

5) Appliances & Dorm Essentials
-
Holiday sales often clear older inventory on big appliances and seasonal gear; if you’re equipping a dorm or studio, this is a good window. (Newsrooms note large-appliance and summer-gear markdowns around Labor Day.)
How to Squeeze Extra Value (without wasting time)
-
Sort first, click later. Start with Best Deals or Biggest Discount to surface the real winners quickly.
- Watch the clock. “Limited offer” + countdown usually means it will flip; don’t sit on cart.
-
Factor freebies. A free game (e.g., Borderlands 4 on select RTX 50-series) can beat a small extra price cut—if you’ll actually play it.
A 10-Minute Shopping Checklist
-
Pick your one primary upgrade (GPU or SSD).
-
Open the sale hub; choose your category. Use Best Deals or Lowest Price to sort.
-
Scan the first two rows only—look for limited offer, promo code, free shipping, freebies.
-
Add to cart, paste code, confirm total.
-
If you still have budget, add the 2TB NVMe—it’s the easiest quality-of-life win.
Final Word
Don’t overcomplicate Labor Day. Let the filters + sorting do the work, chase the card-visible codes/freebies, and fix the actual bottlenecks first (storage, then GPU/CPU). That’s how you turn a seasonal promo into a lasting upgrade.
