This weekend's best sales: A Samsung smart TV under $250, 40% off Le Creuset and more
Just got paid? After the bills are taken care of, make your way over to these sales to save on cookware, clothing and more.
If you're one of the lucky ones who doesn't have to work on the weekends, then there's a good chance you welcome Fridays with open arms. Soon, you'll have two whole days to do whatever you please. Yes, house chores and errands are often on the agenda, but who's to say you can't squeeze in a little shopping, too?
To help with that, below you'll find several sales worth shopping over the next few days. Whether you're looking for electronics or decor to upgrade your home ahead of the holidays or clothing to ensure you're ready for the cooler temps to come, there are so many places to save big this weekend.
Walmart
Walmart dropped prices on thousands of items across the store, so if you've got time, you're sure to find lots to add to your cart. Here are some highlights.
With up to 18 hours of battery life, this MacBook Air will last you all day and into the night for those days when you're working on a deadline. A gorgeous Retina display is easy on the eyes and gives vibrant colors and sharp images and text. Reviewers love this model for its lightweight design and robust 256GB of storage. We love it for the $50 you'll save while it's on sale.
Folks who spend a lot of time chopping, slicing and dicing in the kitchen would be wise to grab this good-looking knife set while it's on sale for $18, down from $72. It's a massive discount, but also, the knives are top notch. Shoppers give them 4.8 out of 5 stars, and one customer said "[These are] literally are the sharpest knives I've ever purchased."
Smaller rooms like bedrooms and dens don't need a massive TV screen. This Samsung 50" is perfect for those spaces. It's also great if you're expecting guests this holiday season, so there's a second (or third) TV that allows everyone to watch what they want.
Samsung smart TVs are top of the line, and this one is no exception. Reviewers agree that the picture quality and sound on this smartTV are superb, making this option ideal for snuggling up and watching holiday movies and seasonal blockbusters alike.
Wayfair
Save up to 50% off at the Wayfair fall clearance sale. There are major deals on big ticket items like furniture and mattresses, but you should also check out the discounts on fun Halloween and holiday decor.
Don't be the dud house on the block with no Halloween decorations! Get into the spirit and spook the kids with this trio of witches. We like that this setup is spooky, without being terrifying (i.e. it's still toddler-friendly). You can arrange them all together or place them separately, depending on the size of your yard — and your vision for your spooky setup.
Excited for all things fall? This wreath is just the seasonal stunner to welcome in the chillier months. It has a robust array of autumnal foliage to bring warmth to your decor. Plus, at just 2 lbs. it's lightweight enough to hang on even the most fragile nail heads without marking up your doors or walls. It's 55% off for a limited time.
Nordstrom
Prices are up to 68% off at Nordstrom's limited-time sale, which features price drops on clothing, shoes and accessories from top brands like adidas, Cole Haan, Kate Spade, Vince Camuto and more.
Nordstrom brings these popular pants back season after season because shoppers say they're that flattering. Why? They're made with special fabric that "shapes, smoothes and lifts in all the right places."
Because olive green is so popular this season, don't think twice about grabbing that color while it's on sale. Other hues are discounted too, including khaki and light blue, which are also great for fall.
Holiday soirees and festive gatherings are coming! Rather than lug around a big, bulky tote while you're trying to party, grab this Kate Spade crossbody while it's 50% off. The long strap means you can carry it hands-free and the inside is big enough for your phone, a card case, a lipstick and your keys.
Macy's
The Macy's VIP sale is happening now through October 7. Shoppers can save 10%-30% on select items. Highlights include 30% off this season's fashion trends, 25% off some Michael Kors items and 10% off small appliances.
If you're planning to host this upcoming holiday season, now's the time to grab this stunning round oven from Le Creuset. All 12 colors are on sale for $200 (that's $150 off) and will make worthy serving pieces on your dinner table.
Ina Garten is one of many famous fans of Le Creuset, but everyday cooks love the collection, too. Many say it's among their favorites and is the perfect size to cook a meal for two or three people. "This is my first Le Creuset! I used it today for my turkey chili and loved it. Clean-up was a breeze. It is a heavy, solid piece of cookware I'll be passing down to my kids," said a fan.
People who are always cold know the importance of having soft, warm throw blankets in every room of the house. When it comes to coziness, it doesn't get much better than this Eddie Bauer pick that's currently 50% off. Both sides have a shearling-like texture that will feel incredible on a cold day.
J.Crew
Cashmere sweaters are 20% off at J.Crew just in time for fall's chill. There are styles for everyone — including classic crewnecks and cardigans plus trendy sweater vests — in all colors of the rainbow. Now's the time to stock your closet with coziness for the season.
If you only buy one new sweater this season, make it this J.Crew classic that never goes out of style. You can wear it under a blazer, but it also looks good on its own with jeans. This season it's available in over 15 colors up to size 3X. One shopper says it's "soft and cozy" and another called it the "best sweater of the season."
A good cardi is a necessity for any fall, winter, or spring capsule wardrobe — so you'll get loads of mileage out of a high-quality one like this luxe cashmere option. It has a relaxed, slouchy fit that pairs well with leggings, office trousers and even a sleek pencil skirt. We like the oversized fit, which is so on-trend this season, but shoppers who prefer a fitted look say this looks lovely when you size down.
Dick's Sporting Goods
If you're excited for fall workouts, then Dick's Sporting Goods should be your first stop this weekend. Thousands of products are currently up to 50% off. This is your chance to snag sneakers, leggings, sports bras and more for up to half off.
Perfect for running, walking, yoga, and more, these soft, stretchy leggings are moisture-wicking and have UV protection built in. They're available in a wide range of sizes — XXS to 3X — and overall shoppers say they are soft, comfortable and fit true to size. The one complaint? These leggings don't have any pockets.
Anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet should seriously consider these amazingly cushioned Asics sneakers. They're designed to be lightweight and breathable, and the sole has special technology to absorb impact with every step. Customers give these kicks 4.8 out of 5 stars. One person commented, "My daughter loves them. [She said] they are the most comfortable running shoes she's used yet." Another shopper wrote, "This shoe is made very well and is very comfortable for walking short or long distances. Highly recommend!"
