Updated September 13, 2026.
Labor Day is over, but some of the better Home Depot prices did not disappear with the holiday.
September is a different kind of shopping month. The big holiday banners are fading, while summer inventory is still being marked down and stores are shifting toward fall. That is where the useful deals are right now.
We checked current Home Depot pricing before publishing this guide and focused on deals that still make sense after Labor Day, not old promotions that are no longer useful.
The quick picks
- Best patio deal: Hampton Bay Holly Cove 7 Piece Outdoor Dining Set, $698, down from $999.
- Best grill deal: Traeger Pro 22 Pellet Grill and Smoker, $389.99, down from $549.99.
- Best fall yard tool: RYOBI 40V HP Brushless Whisper Series Leaf Blower with battery and charger, $279, down from $349.
- Best appliance set under $1,200: Samsung 4.5 cu. ft. Top Load Washer and 7.2 cu. ft. Dryer Set, $1,098, down from $1,698.
- Biggest percentage appliance discount: Samsung 4.7 cu. ft. Washer and 7.4 cu. ft. Dryer Set, $1,198, down from $1,998.
Patio and Outdoor
Hampton Bay Holly Cove 7 Piece Outdoor Dining Set
Current price: $698
Was: $999
Savings: $301, or 30%
This is exactly the type of September patio deal worth paying attention to. A $301 drop on a full dining set is meaningful, especially if you were already planning to upgrade a deck or backyard.
The set includes six armchairs and a rectangular table, so this is not a small accent purchase. It is a real outdoor setup at a noticeably lower price.
Our call: BUY NOW. A 30% markdown is strong enough that waiting for a slightly lower clearance price may not be worth losing the exact set to thinner end of season inventory.

Grills
Traeger Pro 22 Pellet Grill and Smoker
Current price: $389.99
Was: $549.99
Savings: $160, or 29%
The best reason to buy a grill in September is simple: peak summer demand is ending, but you can still use it for fall weekends, football season and cooler weather cooking.
This Traeger price stands out because the discount is not tiny. Nearly 30% off changes the value of the purchase in a way that a $20 or $30 markdown would not.
Our call: BUY NOW if a pellet grill was already on your list. This is a stronger reason to buy than simply seeing the word clearance.

Tools and Fall Yard Equipment
RYOBI 40V HP Brushless Whisper Series Leaf Blower
Current price: $279
Was: $349
Savings: $70, or 20%
This is one of the more practical September deals because the timing matches the product. Fall cleanup is approaching, so you are not buying something now just to store it until next year.
The current package includes an 8.0 Ah battery and charger, which matters when comparing cordless tool prices.
Our call: BUY NOW if you need a stronger blower for fall. A useful product, a real discount and immediate seasonal use is a better combination than chasing a bigger percentage on something you do not need.

Appliances
Appliances are where we would be more intentional. Black Friday is still ahead, so a sale by itself is not enough reason to replace a perfectly good washer or dryer. But if you already need a replacement, several current Samsung sets are discounted enough to deserve a serious look.
Samsung 4.5 cu. ft. Top Load Washer and 7.2 cu. ft. Dryer Set
Current price: $1,098
Was: $1,698
Savings: $600, or 35%
For someone replacing both machines, this is one of the cleaner appliance deals in the current Home Depot lineup. The savings are large enough to matter without pushing the set into a premium price tier.
Our call: STRONG BUY if both machines need replacing. Before checkout, compare installation, haul away and dryer hookup costs because those can change the final total.
Samsung 4.7 cu. ft. Washer and 7.4 cu. ft. Dryer Set
Current price: $1,198
Was: $1,998
Savings: $800, or 40%
This is the deepest percentage markdown among the Samsung washer and dryer sets we verified for this guide.
That does not automatically make it the right set for every household, but $800 off is enough to move it into the compare before checkout category.
Our call: COMPARE AND BUY if the capacity and features fit your household. Do not choose it just because 40% is the biggest number on the page.

Best Deals by Budget
Under $300
RYOBI 40V HP Brushless Leaf Blower: $279
This is the most practical verified deal in this range because you can use it almost immediately as fall cleanup begins.
$300 to $500
Traeger Pro 22 Pellet Grill: $389.99
For shoppers who already wanted a pellet grill, this is the strongest verified Home Depot buy in this price range.
$500 to $1,000
Hampton Bay Holly Cove 7 Piece Dining Set: $698
This is where end of summer clearance starts to get interesting. A 30% discount on a large patio set is much more meaningful than a small markdown on an accessory.
$1,000 and Up
- Samsung 4.5 cu. ft. washer and dryer set: $1,098
- Samsung 4.7 cu. ft. washer and dryer set: $1,198
At this level, compare the exact model, delivery, installation, warranty and return terms before buying. Saving hundreds is useful. Spending more than a thousand dollars without comparing is not.
Buy Now or Wait?
Buy now: patio furniture with a real markdown
If the set fits your space, you like it and the discount is around 30%, September is a reasonable time to buy. Waiting may save more, but it can also mean your preferred set disappears.
Buy now: grills with a deep discount
A grill nearly 30% off is much more interesting than one discounted 5% or 10%. The size of the markdown matters.
Buy now: fall tools you actually need
A discounted leaf blower makes sense in September because you can use it soon. You do not need to invent a future project to justify the purchase.
Compare first: major appliances
Current appliance discounts are strong, but November is another major shopping period. If your machines work perfectly and you are only bargain hunting, waiting is reasonable. If you need a replacement now, a verified 35% to 40% markdown can be worth taking.
Before You Buy
Home Depot prices and inventory can vary by store, delivery ZIP code, finish, package and availability, especially near the end of a season.
- Confirm the exact model number.
- Check whether the price changes after selecting your store or delivery area.
- Look at delivery and installation fees on larger purchases.
- Compare the final price with at least one other retailer before buying an expensive appliance.
- Make sure the deal fits something you were already planning to use.
The Useful Side Bottom Line
September is not about trying to recreate Labor Day.
The opportunity now is seasonal timing. Patio furniture and grills are leaving peak season. Fall yard equipment is becoming useful. Appliance pricing is still competitive. A few markdowns are large enough to make buying now reasonable instead of waiting automatically for November.
The strongest deals we verified are the Hampton Bay Holly Cove patio set at $698, the Traeger Pro 22 at $389.99, the RYOBI 40V blower at $279, and the Samsung washer and dryer sets starting at $1,098.
Buy what you already need, skip what you don’t. A good deal only matters when it actually fits your life.
