If you’re not an avid stalker of the Nordstrom Rack website, you miss out on the best fashion deals money can buy. We consider Nordstrom Rack as one of our nearest and dearest friends because no matter when you look, you can always find a great deal on designer clothes, handbags and shoes. Most of their stock is already at least 20% off regular retail value, not to mention their extensive clearance section.
And as if all of this wasn’t enough to get us shopping to our hearts’ content, Nordstrom Rack even runs major sales events throughout the year that bring prices down to around 75% off. Yes, we’re serious… it’s called Clear The Rack.
What Is The Nordstrom Rack Clear The Rack Sale?
The Clear The Rack sale is basically Nordstrom Rack begging you to clear them of all their inventory. At least, that’s what it feels like because they drop their prices so low it’s like you’re making money while you’re shopping.
Real story: I once bought a pair of $295 La Vie Rebecca Taylor jeans from Nordstrom Rack for $99, and then saw the same jeans at the sale for $35 a month later.
The moral of the story is not that you should only shop from Nordstrom Rack during the Clear The Rack sale, because by the time of the sale there were only three sizes left of the style. But what we’re telling you is that the prices at these sales are truly unbelievable, so you need to know when Clear The Rack sales are going on.
When Is The Next Clear The Rack Sale 2020
We don’t know exactly when Nordstrom Rack’s sales are going to be, but we have a good idea of what to expect, based on sales calendars from previous years. The last Clear The Rack started right after Christmas 2019 and ended on January 1. And we are thinking that the next one isn’t too far off. In fact, we think Nordstrom Rack is going to host sales almost once a month for the rest of 2020:
February: sale expected around 2/17
April: sale expected around 4/10
May: sale expected around 5/22
July: sale expected around 7/26
September: sale expected around 9/4
November: sale expected around 11/8
December: sale expected around 12/25
How Long Does The Sale Last?
Clear The Rack lasts three full days, always ending exactly at 11:59pm EST on the third day.
What To Shop At The Clear The Rack Sale
We like to start shopping Clear The Rack in the Clearance section, because this is where you’ll find the best prices. Clearance items, also called “red tag” items are always an extra 25% off during the sale, in stores and online.
Next, sort the Nordstrom Rack selection by your favorite brand. Seeing as the store is known for carrying top designer brands, you’re going to find amazing value for cost shopping this way. Some of its most popular brands are Madewell, J.Crew, Paige Denim, Mother Denim, Topshop, Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, Nike and Alo Yoga. Clearly, the list goes on and spans numerous apparel categories.
The best tip we can give you is to fill your cart and shop fast because and styles sell out quickly during Clear The Rack sales. And, the more you buy the less you spend because Nordstrom Rack always offers free shipping when you spend $100. But sometimes we’ve seen them lower that minimum to $89 during a sale!
