Is the Nordstrom half-yearly sale for women and kids worth a trip? Yes, if you need shoes! A look at what the deals are and where to look.
The sale started last week but today was the first day I had time to get over to Nordstrom. As soon as walked in I made a bee line to the shoe department. Believe it or not, they still had a pretty good selection. It wasn’t as picked over as I thought. But I would have like to have seen more flats instead of all the high heels. The savings are supposed to be at least 40 percent. They don’t give you the original price on the shoes, but I saw some marked at more than $100. I can’t imagine what the regular price was.
Then there were the "special purchases," shoes that were reduced just for the sale, and will be back to the regular price after it ends. I did find a pretty good deal on black patent leather flats I could wear in the fall for around $30.
After a painful trip to the cash register, I headed upstairs to women’s. I thought the selection was not nearly as good as in shoes. I couldn’t find any sale items I liked. Maybe if I had gotten here just a few days earlier, I might have made out like a bandit. But it’s just as well; I don’t need any more summer clothes.
If you haven’t made it to Nordstrom yet, you have another week. The sale ends June 13th, just in time to begin the sale for men. And if you miss that, not to worry. The helpful sales lady reminded me that the anniversary sale begins July 18th, both online and in the stores. I think she was worried I didn’t buy enough stuff.
