TIS THE SEASON, for the biggest sale of the YEAR.
I am not like a huge sale shopper, meaning that I don’t buy shit just cause it’s on sale, but the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is always the exception because the prices SHOOT right back up when the sale ends which makes it super appealing.
That being said, I think I am pretty good at sale shopping. I spent HOURS scouring the Nordies sale for you guys, only finding what I think is the BEST OF THE BEST.
Right now is still early access for card holder members, but on July 20th the sale opens up to the public, so if you’re not a card member already shopping (shit is selling out quick!), get your bookmarking fingers ready so when the sale drops you are already ahead of the game.
TIPS FOR SUCCESSFULLY SHOPPING THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE
1. PREPARE: The sale items are listed on the site now, but you have to wait till July 20th to shop (early access gets to shop now, see below!). Bookmark the things you want so you’re ready to go when the sale opens to the public.
2. Get the Nordstrom Credit Card: Nordstrom card holders get early access (so you could be getting your shopping done now before things start to sell out). It also comes with tons of bonuses along w/ triple point days! Sign up here.
3. OR Sign up for Nordstrom Rewards program: if you’re not ready to take the leap into a getting the credit card, atleast join the Nordstrom Rewards Program. Its’s free to join & really easy to sign up- you don’t get early access, but you do get a $40 credit!
4. Know your sizes in advanced: to save time, take note of your sizes. Go through your closet, check some of the sizes on brands you already own & plan to shop during the sale.
5. Keep checking back: Nordstrom restocks the sale A LOT! So if you hesitated & missed something good, keep checking back cause chances are it will be restocked if people loved it.
6. Utilize free shipping & returns: if you do make an impulse buy or just need to buy two of something to get the right size, NBD… cause Nordies has the easiest FREE shipping & returns policy.
