The best early Labor Day deals at Amazon you can already shop

You don't have to wait until Labor Day to take advantage of the holiday's deals. To generate excitement (and money!) many retailers often start their Labor Day sales days, weeks, or even a month in advance. So shoppers score major savings on normally high-priced products without sacrificing any of their holiday weekend time. 

One of our favorite places to shop during Labor Day weekend? Amazon is one of the many retailers that have put products on sale ahead of Labor Day. To save you time from sifting through their never-ending deals page, we rounded up the best early Labor Day deals, which include savings up to 50% off on kitchen, home and tech essentials. This includes the Apple iPad (9th Generation), which is currently the lowest price we've ever seen. Check out our favorite deals and be sure to check back for more Labor Day deals ahead of and during the holiday. 

Carote 11-piece nonstick pot and pan set with detachable handles: Save 50%

The Carote 11-piece cookware set is perfect for space-strapped home cooks, as it comes with detachable handles. The handles, which are about 7.5 inches long, easily snap into place on the two pots and three pans included in the set. 

The set also contains two traditional lids for cooking (one 8-inch and one 10-inch) as well as 7-inch and 8-inch silicone storage lids, which allow the saucepans and 8-inch frying pan to double as food storage containers that you can put in your fridge. You can also safely nest this cookware, freeing up even more room in your kitchen cabinets and drawers. 

These pots and pans are compatible with all cooktops, including induction, and can be put in the oven and dishwasher. Just like all nonstick pans, the brand recommends you use gentle dish soap and nonabrasive sponges when cleaning to avoid damage. You should also refrain from using metal utensils, as that can easily scratch the cookware.  

Vtopmart airtight food storage containers, set of 24: Save 37%

This comprehensive dry food storage container set can tame even the messiest of pantries. The set comes with 12 tall containers (six that are 2.5 quarts and six that are 1.8 quarts), six medium containers (1.5 quarts) and six small containers (0.7 quarts). We love that these come with decorative, chalk labels, which will make organizing your pantry not only easier, but fun as well. 

In addition to the downright stylish labels, we also like these food storage containers' airtight seal, which is achieved thanks to the silicone gasket on the lids. This tight closure will help keep your food fresh and protect it from pantry bugs (this is especially crucial for flour).

The containers are made of dishwasher-safe, BPA-free plastic. They're also stackable and conveniently see-through, making it easy to find ingredients and snacks as well as discern how much of them you have left. To get the best deal, make sure to add the available $4 coupon before checkout. 

Keurig K-Mini single-serve coffee maker: Save 40%

Measuring less than five inches wide, the Keurig K-mini is another great product for people with small kitchens. This single-serving coffee maker is a bestseller in its category on Amazon, with more than 76,000 five-star ratings on Amazon. 

The Keurig K-Mini can make between six to 12 ounces of coffee fast, perfect for busy professionals, college students or just anyone who wants their coffee STAT. It has a one-cup reservoir and comes in plenty of fun colors, including army green, baby blue and light pink. Buy this now and you can take advantage of a 40% discount ahead of Labor Day. 

One customer called the Keurig K-Mini single-serve coffee maker "amazing!" and "worth it," adding: "I saved so much money buying this coffee maker. I used to be a Starbucks everyday girl, but I wanted to cut down on costs and budget more, so I decided to invest in this coffee maker and it makes great hot coffee. I don't know when the last time was that I had an $8 coffee!"

Lodge 10.25-inch cast iron skillet: Save 42%

The Lodge cast iron skillet is widely considered to be one of the best in its category, and ahead of Labor Day, you can score the brand's 10.25-inch skillet for just $20.

The pan comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil, which saves you time from having to season it on your own prior to cooking (though you will have to regularly season the pan as you use it over time). This pan is compatible on multiple cooking surfaces, including in the oven, on the stovetop (including induction stovetops), a grill, and, of course, over a campfire.

According to the brand, you can grill, braise, sear, sauté, bake, broil and fry foods with this cast iron skillet. This allows you to make so many different delectable dishes, ranging from cornbread to steak. The latter is easily the most popular dish to cook in a cast iron though, as the cast iron's noted heat retention allows for a great, crusty sear that is hard for other pan materials to mimic. Plus, the skillet can handle oven temps as high as 500 degrees.

Cuisinart Prep 9 food processor: Save 36%

One of our CBS Essentials shopping experts has owned this processor for two years and absolutely loves it. They tell us that they are so impressed with how powerful the Prep 9 is, as it's able to (very) quickly and precisely chop veggies as well as processes mixtures such as whipped cheese, hummus, salsas and even soups. 

The Cuisinart Prep 9 food processor comes with a chopping blade as well as a medium slicing disc (great for speeding up large slicing jobs) and a shredding disc (the best tool for shredding large batches of cheese). The nine-cup processor is a solid size for cooking meals for one or two people. 

The Cuisinart Prep 9 food processor has a 4.5-star rating on Amazon. One reviewer wrote, "I wanted one of these for a very long time. It didn't disappoint at all."

Fullstar six-in-one vegetable chopper: Save 40%

This vegetable chopper has gone viral on TikTok time and time again for good reason: It saves loads of time when it comes to ingredient prep. We actually know, as one of our CBS Essentials shopping experts has had this for years and wrote about how much it changed their life. 

Having this convenient tool to do all of their chopping saved them around an hour in meal prep. The vegetable chopper comes with five interchangeable blades, including one for dicing, chopping, slicing, grating and julienning. You also get a spiralizer, tools for cleaning the blades and a protective glove.

And we aren't the only ones who love the Fullstar veggie chopper. The product has a 4.6-star rating on Amazon. One reviewer wrote, "Love this chopper and how quickly I can get a big bowl of pico de gallo done or almost any kind of veggie for anything. It's sturdy enough for onion halves or carrots and the slide out container is great!" 

Leebein electric spin scrubber: Save 43%

We love this electric spin scrubber for its variety of included cleaning attachments. Electric spin scrubbers tend to come only with harder, bristle-brush cleaning attachments, but this one has softer scrub heads, perfect for sensitive surfaces or those that don't need a deep clean. These include a small and big cloth brush, great for getting rid of smudges on mirrors, a sponge brush and a wool-like brush. It also comes with small and big flat bristle brushes, a corner bristle brush and a scouring brush. 

What we also love about the Leebein electric spin scrubber is that it extends up to 4.5 feet and can be converted into a handheld cleaning tool, making it super easy to clean sinks, stovetops and countertops. It has two speed settings and lasts for an hour and a half on a single charge. 

This electric scrubber has a 4.3-star rating on Amazon. One verified customer said: "I have had a tub that no matter how much scrubbing I did, I could not get clean. This spin scrubber made my tub look new again. It does the job."

Another reviewer added: "Finally a product that keeps me off of my hands and knees. The attachments are of great quality. I'm always concerned about anything keeping and holding a charge but this bad boy did it. Got all the nooks and crannies without breaking a sweat. Cut my cleaning time in half."

This versatile tool can clean many different types of surfaces, including hardwood floors, sealed stone and tile floors, carpets, mirrors and windows, upholstery and even your clothes when using the handheld configuration. The steam takes about 30 seconds to heat up, can reach temperatures of 212 degrees and can clean continuously for 25 minutes (when using the maximum setting). 

The 10-in-1 refers to the number of attachments you get, which allows you to effectively clean various parts of your home. The double brush is specifically designed for grout, while the included squeegee works great on shower doors. The scape tool helps get off stubborn grime, such as that found on cooktops.

One reviewer wrote, "I bought this for my mom, who is very particular about her cleaning products and appliances. Let me tell you, she absolutely LOVES this. She told me it cleans the floors better than anything she has ever used, and showed me the pad after using it (quite dirty, which was shocking, considering how clean her house always is). She told me this was a game changer for her and talks about it frequently. She is 82 years old and reports that it is very easy to use." 

Shark HV322 Rocket Deluxe Pro corded stick vacuum: Save 40%

The Shark HV322 Rocket Deluxe Pro has plenty of features that make vacuuming your home a breeze. There's a light on the vacuum head for easier viewing of dust on your floor, plus it easily converts into a handheld vacuum. There's an attachment specifically designed to tackle pet hair, too.

This Shark model has a 4.5-star rating on Amazon. One reviewer said that this is "the best vacuum I've owned," adding: "I love this vacuum! We have 3 dogs that are in and out of the house, so we have a lot of pet hair. This vacuum does the trick! It gets pet hair off the couch too. I love how it can get under furniture and counters. It turns easily and has great suction power. My floors look so clean after using it."

This TV stand from WLive is on sale just in time for football season. The stand is quite large, as its able to hold TVs measuring between 32 and 60 inches. It also comes with plenty of storage, including two cabinets that have holes in them to accommodate cables, and an exposed center that can be customized with the removable shelf. Each of the four colors, including the white, brown and two blacks are on sale, but the discount varies by color.

Skyler metal Montessori house bed: Save up to 45%

Your kid will have so much fun in this unique bed that resembles the frame of a house. The Skyler metal house bed fits a twin mattress and sits low on the ground, so your child can get in and out of the bed easily. 

What we love about this bed is that you can customize it by adding decorations to the canopy, whether that be a strand of lights or garland. It's made of metal, comes in two colors (white and gray) and doesn't require a box spring. 

This bed has a 4.5-star rating on Amazon. One customer wrote, "This was the perfect Montessori-style bed to transition our 2 year old from crib to 'big girl bed.' I put it together alone in about 20 minutes. Some of the pieces are heavy, but not too bad -- and it all came together easily -- really without even needing instructions. I wanted something cute and trendy but that would keep her close to the floor to avoid any injury. This has been a wonderful purchase."

The Dewalt 20V max drill driver/impact driver combo kit: Save 33% 

This discounted combo kit from Dewalt is a steal given all it has to offer shoppers. This includes prolonged battery life, with each power tool outfitted with a 20-volt battery. The drill and impact driver are also ergonomically designed to be comfortable in hand and are relatively lightweight for the work they can accomplish (the drill weighs 3.6 pounds and the impact driver is 2.8 pounds). 

The drill has two speed settings, which is helpful when dealing with strong material, such as concrete, and the impact driver has a convenient, built-in light on it that offers greater visibility when working in darker corners or areas of your home, such as under the house.

This Dewalt combo kit has a 4.7-star rating on Amazon. One reviewer wrote: "Good combo set. I have a few different sets of drill drivers, and this is by far the most powerful and best of them. Battery life is also very good and feels powerful. Value for [the] money for sure." 

Another verified customer said, "I purchased this to replace another battery-operated drill that just isn't cutting it. This one is so nice! It is not that heavy and the built-in light is a great feature to have when you are working in darker areas. 

"The battery doesn't take very long to charge and it lasts well. It has a good warranty and has the power that we need in our tools for the work that we use it for."
