Anyone already thinking about Labor Day shows?

I know we just wrapped up the 4th but man I’m already looking ahead to Labor Day weekend. Got some leftovers from July that I’m saving plus thinking about ordering a few more cakes to round out the show.

What do you guys usually do for Labor Day? Big show or just something small with friends? I feel like it sneaks up on you after the 4th hype dies down.

Also curious if anyone’s found good deals on post-4th clearance. Some stores around me were running 50% off on certain stuff.

I’m with you on the clearance stacking. Bought about $150 worth of stuff for like $60 last weekend. Feels like a steal. Storing is the tricky part though.

For Labor Day I keep it chill. Maybe 10-15 cakes and a box of shells. Grill some burgers, have a few friends over. Nothing like the 4th production but still fun.

IMO the best time to buy clearance is the weekend AFTER the 4th when most stores have already done their first markdown and are desperate to move remaining stock. Got some killer deals last year doing that.
