Heading into the back half of October, with leaves at peak vibrance, it’s perfectly normal to start thinking about the rest of fall and the upcoming holiday season.

And if shopping is involved, all the sales happening throughout the weekend can help take the edge off with major price cuts, even if you’re not ready to get festive.

Autumnal accessories and apparel are at their best prices of season at Kate Spade Outlet and Macy’s. Snag an extra 20% off already-reduced styles like the Kate Spade Madison Medium Satchel in a trendy fall jewel tone. Or fluff up your weekend sleep-in sessions with an UGG 5-piece comforter set under $150.

Likewise, if you’ll be craving epicurean comforts once Daylight Saving Time comes to an end, Ninja’s “Cooktober Sale” is stacked with bestsellers, like the tailgate-ready Prestige Smart XL Air Fryer and the curl-up-on-couch CREAMi Deluxe 11-in-1 Frozen Treat Maker & Waffle Maker bundle, on sale for up to 25% off.
