There are stores that we browse for great merchandise and then there are boutiques like Anthropologie—a shopping mecca that never fails to capture our imagination or leave us wanting clothing, accessories, and home goods that we could spend an entire paycheck on.
Anthropologie is a treasure trove of dresses, shoes, pretty blouses, beauty and wellness products, and even furniture and home decor. But it’s also not exactly cheap–which is why these Anthropologie shopping tricks will really come in handy. If you love the high-end store and everything it has to offer, but can’t afford to actually buy anything, these shopping hacks are for you.
From tips on scoring the best deals at Anthropologie’s annual sales to little-known facts about some pretty amazing perks you’ll get for just being an Anthropologie customer, here are a few good shopping hacks to keep in mind before hitting everyone’s favorite store.
Anthropologie Shopping Trick For Saving More Money

1. Anthropologie’s Summer Tag Sale Is Beyond Incredible
It’s no secret that Anthropologie’s retail prices can be prohibitively high. So maybe you can’t score your entire summer wardrobe from the store, but you can and should take advantage of its sales, which can be extraordinary.
Take Anthropologie’s Summer Tag Sale, for example. If you’re willing to wait until the actual start of summer, you can nab clothing, shoes, and accessories for up to 50 percent off of retail prices. Breezy, pretty tank tops that originally cost $58 are now $30. A sophisticated midi dress that commanded $168 is now priced at less than $100.
And, with thousands of items marked down, clothing isn’t the only thing you can score. This summery fold-over circle tote is marked down from $78 to $40. And pretty floral dinner plates have been slashed from $24 to $14.95.
Patience really does pay off when you’re shopping at Anthropologie. Wait for a sale—it will be well worth your while.
2. Join Anthropologie’s Loyalty Club
It costs nothing and it will save you a ton of money if you love to shop at Anthropologie. That's the main perks of becoming a member of Anthropologie’s AnthroPerks loyalty club. All you have to do is create an account and sign up to become an AnthroPerks member. From there, you get invitations to parties and events, which usually take place in their stores. You also get early access to sales and new merchandise that has just arrived, making you a shopping insider who gets first dibs at great items.
You’ll even get a discount on your birthday and free shipping on items as long as you spend at least $150. Considering how Anthropologie’s shipping fees can range greatly depending on what you’re purchasing, this alone is worth signing up to become a loyalty member.
3. Save Your Receipt To Qualify For A Price Adjustment
If you purchase an item at Anthropologie and you happen to notice the price is lowered within 14 days of your purchase, you qualify for a price adjustment. Bring your receipt to an Anthropologie shop and you can get back the difference in cost.
And this applies to items you already bought on sale, too. Because you never know when a dress that was 15 percent off drops to 20 percent off. Every dollar you can save counts.
4. Anthropologie Offers Styling Services
Everything in Anthropologie—from its window displays to mannequins—looks super stylish. Well, magical fairies didn’t make that happen, Anthropologie’s talented staff did. There’s great news if you love the Anthropologie aesthetic: Anthropologie customers can request free wardrobe or home decor styling by making an appointment online or by calling your nearest store.
The only thing better than scoring Anthropologie merchandise for a great price is learning how to put it all together in a way that makes you look Anthropologie chic.
