Do your homework! When you compare online versus in-store prices, sometimes you'll find that certain J. Crew products are cheaper online than they are in store. And, if you do find something on their official website that’s retailed as less expensive than it's marked in the store, you should request to be given the online price!

Get talking. J. Crew will have secret sales, that is sales that they do not particularly advertise. The next time you're in the store, try asking a sales associate if there are any upcoming sales! Maybe they will throw in that there are upcoming sales, despite a lack of advertisement for them.
