Whether this is your first time shopping the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale or your third, I have some tips to help you save the most money between May 22 and June 2 at 11:59 p.m. PST. I've been covering (and shopping) this sale since 2021, and this year's lineup is especially impressive, with more than 27,000 items up for grabs for up to 89 percent off! That includes the Natori Cherry Blossom bra (from $76; $34) and the Dyson Airstrait hair straightener ($500; $400), which is marked down for the first time ever at Nordstrom! I'll just say there's a reason I go all in on this sale every year, and the biggest tip I could give you is to whip out your wallet and do the same.
With thousands of deals on top brands like Adidas, Open Edit and Free People to choose from, you're guaranteed to end up with something you love (perhaps these comfy and cute Nordstrom leather Elsie flats for under $40?). So don't even think about skipping this highly anticipated Nordstrom sale, especially if you want to give your wardrobe an overhaul for summer without totally clearing out your bank account. That said, my next tip is to start with these 12 items on everyone's wish list (including mine), because they won't stay in stock at these prices for much longer.
