Anotherholiday weekendbeckons. In addition to the day off, there will be sales aplenty — and though it’s early in the week, several are already live and worth shopping. Below, I’ve organized the best ones first by category, then alphabetically by merchant. Most sales will end on Monday, September 7, at midnight wherever you live, but I’ve noted when dates differ from the norm.
