One of the things I pride myself on most is my ability to get the best deals possible -- especially at Macy's sales. Some consider it luck, I think of it as smart browsing and knowing what to look for. Here are my tips for getting the best possible deals at Macy's.
1. Always know where the price checkers are. As I'm browsing I always check to the prices to see what potential savings are. I usually set a price point per item and put back anything that is above it
2. Don't go and expect to find a lot of good deals right away -- you need to have the patience to search through sales racks.
3. The prices on the tag usually end up being lower, especially on the 50% and 75% off racks.
4. ALWAYS make sure you have a coupon. They usually knock another 15-20% already reduced prices.
5. I try to steer clear of store credit cards, but having a Macy's card is a big advantage. There are multiple card levels - I have the basic "Star Rewards" card that can only be used at Macy's (theres no Visa/MC option on it.) Not only does it allow you additional savings, but they also send cardmember only coupons periodically. Another plus is that you can make a purchase and pay it off on your debit card right there!
I'm a big dress wearer, and I usually find the best deals in the dress section. They also tend to knock the prices on the INC, Alfani and Style&Co clothes down pretty low during sale time too.
Keep these things in mind next time you go to Macy's and you'll be surprised how much you save -- and you can see since they print it at the bottom of your receipt. Later I'll post some of the deals I've gotten recently.
Until then..... Happy Shopping! :)
