It's expensive out there. Gas, rent, mortgage (good for you), clothes, far-flung vacations, and rawdogged flights. It all adds up. Your bank account is light, but life marches on. And the way life is marching, you're in need of furniture. I can help.

Whether you're looking for luxury couches, affordable futons, mattresses, patio furniture, or anything else, Labor Day weekend is one of the best times to shop. Back home, it's a classic weekend Going Out of Business sales. For the magazine-reading elite, it's when your favorite online brands slash prices on old stock. And there are a few options that look best to me right now. One is CB2, which has a beefy sale section full of nice contemporary furniture. Same goes for Arhaus, which has a similar aesthetic, kind of brooding and masculine. For something softer, The Citizenry has a nice 20 percent off thing going on. Oh, and mattresses are on sale, but that's usually the case.

If you're looking to score a deal now, these are the best options. If you're willing to wait until the eleventh hour, I'll be updating this story as more sales drop. Shop now, or stay tuned.
