You wouldn't believe all the instagrammers and bloggers who go on about that sale! We do not have Nordstrom in this part of TN. I don't think I have ever been in one. In the past, after reading about the twice yearly sale, I have looked online but have never bought anything. Nice pjs! I need some lingerie type items, maybe I'll go check that out!

I hit the sale on the first day at our mall. I just happened to be there. I boughtTwo pair of jeans that I dont need. I was disappointed with the sale items, for sure. Not sure what the fuss is about. Maybe there is a better selection online.

I shop Nordstroms online but not often. However, I always buy my sunglasses from them. Women's black plastic rectangle. Gotta look cool. :)

I don't have a nordstrom card so I can't shop yet-- but I did hear that they opened up the sale in stores to all! I did start a wish list though.

I don't want to share exact items since I don't want them to sell out lol (i have more than once lost an item I posted to GW).. but i will say my list includes primarily higher end brands with very steep discounts. I have set a firm and fairly modest budget for purchases -- so if all is in stock, I will get only a few things. If my favs sell out then i will pick up some basics.

I am not interested in many beauty items -- but they do have the laura mercier caviar sticks i like and for a sale price, I'd like to try this Aveda hair repair product.

They have the Dyson Stick on sale.. probably won't get that since it will be on sale elsewhere but I would get nordy points for it so if budget allows, I'll consider it.

I will pick up some christmas gifts-- most likely a dyson hair dryer for sister and some ugg slippers for nieces/nephews. Christmas gifts don't come out of my firm budget for myself :)

I agree Ded. For me, it’s slim pickings for sale items.

Not sale, but I do appreciate the fancy dresses online when I need an occasion dress.

The first day of Early Access at the store has always been good for me. Especially for shoes. I did not go this year, I think Early Access started on the 12th.

I've got a few things on my wishlist for tomorrow!

I worked at the big Nordstrom in my area during the late 80’s/early 90’s. so pre-internet. I had a customer from Rhode Island who would call me with her order. Never met her. I used to sell about $10k on opening day. now so many of the stores are delivery/return centers now now.

I buy basics at the sale and if I tell you, well you know the rest!

I put a few things on my wish list but I doubt i will purchase half of them by tomorrow when i actually can buy them. Maybe on a pair of shoes, and some lingerie. I was under-whelmed.

Welp, I just placed a large order.! Didn't plan to get up in the middle of the night to do it but I woke up so here I am. I got everything on my wish list, an item or two not in our first pick of color.

Ironically we are heading to the "big" city today and swinging by the brick and mortar is not too far out of our way.

Great! Do you have any favorites to share?

I don't know if it's me or if the sale has changed but I've been underwhelmed for a number of years. At one time I even opened a Nordstrom charge for early access but I closed that a few years ago. I do check the site every year but seldom purchase anything. I will look for a few items for my 2 grand daughters and with a 3rd due this fall I'm sure I'll find some nice things.

It really wasn't anything too exciting. I have my first grand so he got a few things. Instagram PTs tout See Kai Run as great shoes for Littles and they were $30. Picked up 2 sizes. Got him a plate/apron combo that was a great price. Brand name is cute ezpz (read the letters).

Caviar sticks for me and a combo pack of Stila lip gloss.

Most of the items are for my girls. A few styles of the pajamas I linked yesterday, some black dress slacks for my DD that actually leaves the house to work and needs to look professional, and a pair of Zella leggings.

I did see some nice jewelry pieces at varying prices but didn't get anything.

Maire-Cate, I have grappled with whether to get a nordstrom card for early access and have opted not to. I am an ambassador level but without the card, I don't get any advantage. There's not been anything I wanted so badly that I couldn't wait (and i really don't like store cards).

RNmom, i bought a Stila gift pack over the holidays and never used the gloss until recently-- I was surprised how much I liked it. My everyday gloss is YSL.. but my particular gloss isn't in the sale.

I also like the Zella Restore leggings-- they are second to Beyond Yoga for me. I have a pair on my wish list too.

Otherwise, my wish list includes a Vince sweater, a pair of EF pants, a light denim jacket and ugg slippers (already sold out). I won't be too upset if i miss out on any of them. Also the caviar sticks, the hair repair I shared above. There are some knock around tshirts/lounge wear that i would consider if other items aren't available but they didn't make the budget cut on the first pass.

I thought the dyson hair dryer was in the sale but it is not! Bummer-- it would have been a great christmas present.

I got these items. I already have the boots with the pants below. I do not like the Trucker jacket with the pants shown, but I have tried it on, and really liked it. I think would look cute with the jeans I bought below. I have a couple of Barefoot Dreams throws and wanted a pillow to go with one of them. I buy the Donna Karan deodorant for me and Jack Black deodorant for my guys all the time anyway, I bought two each. The Laura Mercier powder wasn't on sale, but needed it, I'm out. They didn't have much this year IMO.

The eyelash and brow growth serums are always a great price. I still have plenty left from last year so I didn't need to restock,

The Anniversary Sale was disappointing this year, and even more disappointing once I went to my Wish List this morning. 2/3 of the items I had added to the Wish List were already sold out, I ended up with a few basics and that was it.

I don't even know what y'all are talking about. Never been a Nordstrom shopper.

I wake up at the crack of dawn, so I got all bit one thing on my list. I buy basics: Ascis Kayanos, Spanx, panties and a couple workout things. Plus a ridiculous number of pants for DH to try on and probably return.

Besides that, I treated myself to these:

Ooh, I love Cashmire Mist cologne. I have the card, I've looked and looked and there's nothing I can find. With Covid being off the charts again in my state, I don't want to spend a lot of money on a handbag I'll hardly use. Or good makeup. I'll keep looking though.

Well, the sale opened to those without a Nordstrom card today- I had lost track and didn't realize until I saw the email. Unfortunately, many of the items I'd saved to my wish list have sold out. I ended up getting a few pairs of leggings-- and then I stocked up on some beauty items (not on sale)-- and I am still under my anniversary sale budget!

I will be watching to see if the Simple Human makeup mirror is restocked-- but otherwise, not too concerned about what other items are restocked.

I took the shoes back, but kept the ”water bubbler”

Totally jaded about the sale. Was recently notified that two items are out of stock that I ordered two weeks ago. Really it took two weeks to realize that those items were not in stock?

Have also come to realize that many of these items are made and priced for the sale to give the illusion that you are getting a deal. The quality is probably worth what he current selling sale price is or maybe even lower. I noticed this in the store that the items were priced with the sale price and not marked down to that price.

One of the pairs of Zella leggings was definitely of a lower quality. DD that is a big time legging wearer said they looks like the "Z for Zella" ones that the Rack sells.

Non Nordstrom brands are probably truly on sale. We did get a few Vince Camuto items that were of good quality.

Yeah, there's long been complaints about "made for anniversary sale" products. The leggings I bought are normal lines Ive purchased before (Nike yoga lux and Zella Restore High Waist) so i think they'll be ok.

The lighted mirror I wanted did come back in stock-- so I ordered it this morning. I especially like it because it is cordless.

Actually the Zella Restore leggings were one of the items were priced for the sale on the tag. It will be interesting to see if the sale ones are like your others. These had a weird sweatpants type waistband.

The so-called "made for Anniversay sale" products go back up to full regular price as soon as the sale is over. I am picky what I buy, and you can always return them. For instance, I bought two coats, wasn't sure which size I needed. Sent the other one back. The beauty products are always a good deal as most beauty products never go on sale. I still didn't get some items that were on my wishlist.

I returned the 7/8 Zella leggings. I hadn’t bought them in a while, but these were really thin.

I am not sure that "priced for the sale" means the same thing as "made for the sale".. I'll be very disappointed if they lower the quality but use the same product name.

The normally available Restore leggings do have a sweatband cuff at the ankle-- but the waistband is the typical yoga style legging waistband. I like that the material is opaque and flexible for exercise without having so much compression that they are uncomfortable. There is a Restore jogger that has a sweat pant top -- i received those in a trunk club and returned them. We'll see what is delivered. The Zella is a far second place to my favorites (Beyond Yoga) but for $30 something they're 1/3 the price.

The only beauty items I'd wanted were the Laura Mercier caviar sticks-- but they were sold out by the time I could shop. I ended up buying what I wanted without the sale price.
