Shopping for back-to-school can get pretty pricey, but luckily there are a ton of affordable options out there. And when it comes to buying the most adorable clothes, it's nice to know there are brands that won't force you to choose between breaking the bank and sacrificing style when sending your kids to school. Old Navy is one of those brands, and Old Navy's Labor Day sale is one of those times when you should really stock up while you can.

But don't delay: This year's Labor Day sale at Old Navy is happening right now. Here's the scoop on all the important dates so you can get the best deals: Aug. 22 through Aug. 28 marks the pre-Labor Day sale with 30 percent off all jeans, 40 percent off all dresses, and 50 percent off all tees. (We're not just talking about kid stuff here, either; all of the same items are on sale in grown-up sizes, too.) If you're looking for even bigger savings, hold off another day or two: Jeans, dresses, and tees are all 50 percent off from Aug. 29 through Sept. 2, according to SheFinds. I mean, that basically means you can outfit the whole family with super savings. I don't know about you, but the more tees and jeans I can throw in my kid's closet, the better. In fact, the more basics you can have on hand for everybody in the house, the better (it's not like getting your kid to school on time is any easier if you can't find a clean pair of sweat pants to put on your own self for drop-off, after all). School isn't for the faint of heart (or the fearful of messes), and this Old Navy Labor Day sale is the perfect time to stock up.
