This Labor Day, kick your feet up and let the deals work for you.
Just days before back-to-school season starts, Labor Day may be your last summer hurrah for major savings. Each year, the federal holiday — which honors American workers and organized labor movements — falls on the first Monday in September.
First signed into law by President Grover Cleveland in 1894, Labor Day celebrates the democratic push for reasonable hours, workplace protections and fair wages.
And in recent years, it’s become a day to take those fair wages and grab a great deal.
Retailers, restaurants, grocery stores and fast food chains all offer a bevy of bargains for Labor Day weekend as the last stretch of summer comes to an end and fall weather starts to creep in.
The Post put together a list of spots that can offer a satisfying shopping bonanza — without breaking the bank.
Chipotle
First up is the assembly-line favorite, offering $0 delivery fees on Pollo Asado for orders placed through the Chipotle app and Chipotle.com.
The highly requested return comes with a new recipe — freshly grilled adobo chicken, well-seasoned with garlic, Mexican spices and cilantro, then topped with citrus and lime for a savory, smoky flavor.
Customers can grab the deal now through September 13.
The fast-casual chain is also teaming with top-ranked U.S. men’s tennis player Taylor Fritz, dropping BOGOs on entrées after every men’s singles victory in New York. Root for your players accordingly.
Wendy’s
Wendy’s is celebrating the long weekend with a digital offer on a much-loved classic — 10-piece nuggets for just $1.99. Available now until September 27, fast foodies can munch on a 10-piece crispy or spicy nuggets box exclusively through the Wendy’s app.
Del Taco
The West Coast chain is offering Del Yeah! rewards members 20% off orders of $10 or more throughout Labor Day weekend. Customers can scarf down the popular soft-shelled chicken tacos, combo burritos or quesadillas all while grabbing the discount.
Deals are only available when customers order online or in the app.
Popeyes
The Louisiana-based chain is offering its rewards members a steal on the classic 12-piece wings or 12-piece chicken tenders as both will only set you back $12.
Diners can score the bargain online or in the Popeyes app only, but just note that the discount is only available at participating locations now through September 7.
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit
The Texas-based BBQ chain is celebrating the holiday by offering diners its popular Party Pack Deal for $19.41. Hungry customers will get one pound of slow-smoked pulled pork, a large side of BBQ beans and its iconic buttery Texas toast.
To score the bundle, guests can head to the deals section of Dickey’s website or mobile app — and no code is required.
Act fast, because the Party Pack is only around from September 3-7.
The Cheesecake Factory
The dessert-forward chain might not be slinging cheesecakes, but it is offering a $10 bonus eCard for every $50 in gift cards you purchase online.
Customers can get the cards now through September 7. And bonus eCards are valid September 8 through the 30th.
Cracker Barrel
The Old Country Store is giving folks two choices: when customers purchase an adult entrée and kids meal, they’ll get one of six collectible B’loonie Petz toys.
Or, diners can score $5 off a retail toy instead — just note that it’s for dine-in only through September 7.
Mcdonald’s
The burger behemoth is going all in on Labor Day road trips, offering customers a “full stomach and a full tank.”
For a limited time, fans can score a $2 breakfast sandwich in the McDonald’s app, including favorites like the Egg McMuffin, Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit and Sausage, Egg & Cheese McGriddles.
Rewards members will get a little extra, as they can now redeem points for 50 cents off per gallon at participating Shell stations.
The breakfast sandwich offer is available now through October 4, while the Shell fuel savings offer runs through October 31.
Jimmy John’s
The Subway rival is giving guests a tasty BOGO deal for Labor Day weekend until Monday, September 7th. JJ Rewards members can use code TOASTED to buy one, get one free — either on a classic toasted sandwich or another favorite eight-inch sandwich.
Wingstop
Wingstop will be celebrating Labor Day weekend with a $0 delivery fee on all orders placed through Wingstop.com or the Wingstop app. The deal lasts from Friday, September 4 through Monday, September 7.
