Is Labor Day a good time to sign up for new streaming services?
Buying a new streaming service during Labor Day is never a bad idea, especially if there are great prices to be had. Streamers often offer trials, discounted first months and more to get you in the door — just make sure to cancel your subscription after that period if you don’t want to pay full price going forward.

There are plenty of deals available right now, and you can get many of them when buying direct. However, it’s always worth checking out third-party retailers like StackSocial — as is the case right now with a lifetime Curiosity Stream sub selling for just $200.
How we choose the best Labor Day deals
At CNET, we’ve got a team of expert shoppers and deal-hunters whose experience spans years of helping buyers understand which major sales and deals are legitimately good and which are more routine. That includes Black Friday, Prime Day, Fourth of July and countless other shopping events.
We’ve gotten very good at weeding out scams and superficial savings. We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale times when choosing a deal to show you.
- Real discounts mean exactly that. We look at the price history for all items sold to make sure no manufacturers are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is.
- Quality reviews are important for any product, but especially for big purchase items like grills, furniture and appliances. If it breaks the first time you use it, the discount isn’t really worthwhile.
- Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it will only be around for a short while or will only be available for the remaining stock, we’ll let you know upfront so you don’t come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.
