I Spend 8 Hours a Day on Amazon and My Labor Day Haul Starts at $8

I shop for a living, so I’m an expert at navigating major savings events—and Amazon’s epic Labor Day weekend sale is no exception. The retailer slashed prices on thousands of items across practically every department, and I already cherry picked the top eight finds I’m actually buying. Below, browse through my personal shopping cart and snag deals starting at just $8 (no, that’s not a typo). 

Below, get your hands on designer fashion staples including Coach ballet flats and Levi’s denim—both under $100. Plus, score a reliable Gap basic along with a fall-perfect purse from celeb-worn brand JW Pei. If you act quickly, you can also score skin care must-haves like this viral K-beauty serum and firming body lotion. Plus, don’t miss a smoothing (and amazing-smelling) scrub and luxe hair-strengthening oil. Regardless of which gems catch your eye, snag them before the holiday weekend ends.        

Best Amazon Editor-Loved Labor Day Sales 

I’m taking advantage of this weekend’s markdowns to stock up on the fall basics I’ll rely on all season. These Gap jeans are bound to serve as a cornerstone in my year-round wardrobe and I’m certain I’ll reach for them on repeat this season. They have a timeless bootcut silhouette and flattering high-rise waistline, plus their dark wash can be paired with practically anything. Not to mention, the staple bottoms are now $36—a whopping 40 percent off their usual cost.   

With lower temperatures on the horizon, I’m taking precautionary measures to avoid inevitable dry skin with Palmer’s Firming Body Lotion, which happens to be marked down to $8. The skin care superhero is formulated with shea butter to deeply moisturize and soothe dryness, along with collagen to smooth, firm, and hydrate dull skin. As one reviewer with eczema put it, the gem is a “life saver” and “game changer” that makes rough patches “super moisturized and smooth” without leaving a “heavy or greasy film.” They’re not the only fan—more than 7,000 people purchased the cream in the past month alone, per Amazon. 

If stronger, smoother strands are your goal, don’t skip the Kitsch Strengthening Hair and Scalp Oil while it’s $15. It’s packed with superstar hair care ingredients, including rosemary to stimulate growth, improve scalp circulation, and reduce damage, plus biotin to strengthen and thicken strands and increase shine. To experience its impressive results for yourself, massage a few drops of the formula into your dry scalp once or twice a week and leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing. And, voilà! Meet your healthiest hair yet.   

Run to Amazon to score my Labor Day weekend picks while they’re still on sale from just $8.
