For limited-edition seasonal pieces, it may be best to snatch them up before your size sells out, but for basics that are restocked often, have patience—it will pay to wait for a sale. Pro tips: Sign up as a Rewards member for exclusive deals, discounts, and coupons. To make sure you don’t miss a deal, sign up to track specific items you have your eye on. Click on the “Get Price Alerts” link below the “Add to Cart” button, and you’ll get an email when the price of the item changes. But the big, can’t-be-missed deals are typically found during Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale, taking place after the December holidays and again around Memorial Day—just in time for a summer wardrobe refresh. To make the most of the savings, sign up for emails (you’ll get an extra 25 percent off!) and download the Macy’s app to get exclusive coupons. Hoping for even steeper savings? Keep an eye on the site (and your inbox) for special deals on specific appliances and categories. Right now, there are discounts on a wide variety of vacuums, including Dyson, Bissell, and Shark.
