That “50% off” Labor Day deal might not be the bargain it looks like. Brands can use inflated retail prices and percentage-off claims to make a discount seem bigger than it really is. The Labor Day sales event is a great time to find real deals, but before you buy, check the product’s price history to see what it actually sells for and whether you’re truly getting a good price.
