The Nordstrom anniversary pre-sale is on! It’s open to all Nordstrom card holders, and I highly recommend you become one if you are not already. I have a card and earn points on all my purchases. Once I have a certain number of points, I get a Nordstrom note, which is good for shopping in the store or online! But back to the sale – having a Nordstrom card means you get to shop before everyone else. Items do sell out, so it’s a bonus if you are looking for on trend fall clothing, accessories and home decor.

I plan on using one of my personal point days during the sale. A personal points day means you can earn triple points on all purchases on the day of your choice, allowing you to rack up points faster towards getting a Nordstrom note. You can also call to make an appointment with a sales associate, and they will personally help you go around the store to pick out items.

If you have kids, now is the time to buy for back to school and winter. Think winter boots, staples (socks, underwear, pajamas, etc.), and school clothes. It’s all on sale and prices go up August 8th. Happy shopping!
