We received news from our reader Jennifer this weekend when told us how she was able to save $110 off at Nordstrom. By doing her homework and heading to Raise.com, she saved a total of 32% off the retail price!

“I have been looking for these new shoes at Nordstrom for the past few weeks and I did not have a Nordstrom coupon. Finally, I saw another shoe store was carrying the same pair of shoes for 25% off so I called Nordstrom and asked if they would honor the price and they said yes! I am so excited and I made sure before I bought them that I went to Raise and bought a discounted Nordstrom gift card for 7% off. In total, I ended up saving $110 on shoes that I was going to pay full price!” 

We have some tips for when you shop at Nordstrom how you can maximize your savings on your favorite brands:

1. Do your homework: 

If you love Nordstrom and want a certain item, see if another retailer has it for less. Stores like Bloomingdale’s, Zappos and Macy’s  will offer additional discount coupons at certain times where you can save more on the item you want.

2. Buy a discount gift card:

To get the best savings, shop with a discount gift card to really maximize your savings. You can save 25% with a coupon, but you can save even more by buying a discount gift card from Raise.com. If you know you’ll be buying at Nordstrom or any retailer, make sure to stretch your dollar even more by saving with a discount gift card.

3. Make sure to print or show your lower savings:

Once you’ve found the item for less on another site, print off the item or show the Nordstrom associate when you’re ready to check out. Nordstrom will honor most prices you find for less at other retailers.

4. Use your Nordstrom Debit or Nordstrom Credit Card to earn points:

If you have a Nordstrom debit or credit card, make sure to use it with every purchase! For every dollar spent at Nordstrom, you will receive 2 points. Once you’ve accumulated 2000 points, you will get in the mail a Nordstrom Note for $20 off your next purchase. You also get special early access to the best sale of the year, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

For more information on Nordstrom Price Matching, check out their pricing policy to see what will work for price matching at Nordstrom. They do have restrictions on price matching for cosmetics and designer goods. You also cannot show lower prices from auctions, outlet stores, retailers’ discount promotions, shipping offers or gift card offers

Mother’s Day is exactly one month away! Have you thought about what you’re going to get Mom yet? Well don’t worry, there is still PLENTY of time to plan ahead and put some thought into a gift that shows your mom how much you care and appreciate her!

With time on your side, be creative! Ditch the typical bouquet of flowers or linen-scented candle that you can get the day before and put some real thought into your Mother’s Day gift this year. While most moms will be happy no matter what you give, why not put a little extra effort and get her something that she will really remember?

One of the best things to do in order to plan a unique gift is to brainstorm! Get out a pen and piece of paper and start thinking about your mom. What are her hobbies? What doesn’t she like to do? Make a list of words to describe her. Think about the past few times you have been with your mom…Did she talk about something new that she’s interested in? Did she mention something she wanted to buy but never did?

Now look at all the things you wrote down while brainstorming and try to think of a way to make that into a gift!

The best kind of gift has 3 characteristics…

– It’s personalized

–It shows emotion

–It will be remembered

Still can’t think of anything? Here’s a few ideas:

Did you and your family go on vacation recently? Take all the photos from your trip and make them into a personalized photo book! Does your mom love jewelry? Get her a personalized ring or necklace with birthstones of you and your siblings! Does she love adventures and new experiences? Buy a gift card to a restaurant that she’s never been to or maybe even tickets to go skydiving! Is your mom the run around, busy type who would benefit from a day of relaxation? Get a her a gift card for a spa day!

Another great resource for thinking of unique gift ideas is Pinterest. Pinterest can direct you towards products, crafts, recipes, ANYTHING you can imagine! If you aren’t the best at putting your ideas into physical form, just search on Pinterest and someone else has probably crafted and pinned pictures of their awesome gift!

Shop early and get a discount Hobby Lobby gift card or discount Michael’s gift card and you can save on all the supplies for you Mother’s Day craft or project. Why not make a personalized coupon book? Or one of my favorite go-tos is a gift basket filled with tons of goodies! Fill it with all her favorite foods and snacks or make it themed to one of her interests! Gardening gift basket, coffee lover gift basket, candy & sweets gift basket… No Problem!

Now that you know Mother’s Day is fast-approaching, start your gift buying now and be sure to get the most thoughtful gift at the lowest price. Make sure and shop with a Mother’s Day coupon and find a discount gift card for Mother’s Day to get the best deals!
