HuffPost's shopping desk compiled a list of Amazon Labor Day deals it says are 40% off or more, including Levi's baggy jeans at $48 (down from $85, 43% off) and a Purito serum at 40% off. The article notes the outlet may earn a commission on purchases made through its links.

The piece frames these discounts as unusually deep compared to typical sales in the 15-30% range, though the comparison prices are the retailer's own listed figures rather than independently verified pre-sale prices.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

A shopping column that earns a commission on every click telling you to hurry before the deal disappears is not exactly a neutral witness. The 'regularly $85' tag is doing a lot of quiet work in that jeans pitch, and nobody at the register checked what those jeans actually sold for last month. Buy the jeans if you like them, just don't mistake the countdown clock for anything but decoration.
