There’s nothing we love more than shopping our favorite brands at a fraction of their retail cost, so the Nordstrom Rack Clear The Rack Sale is literally the moment our dreams come true! On any average day, you can find unbeatable deals on top brands like Madewell, Free People, Michael Kors and Kate Spade (to name just a few) from Nordstrom Rack, but during the retailer’s coveted Clear The Rack sale, which happens up to 12 times a year, the savings are *even” greater!
Unlike the Victoria’s Secret semi annual sale for example, which as the name suggests, only happens twice a year, this sale comes around pretty frequently, and can even come as often as once every month! However, the Seattle-based retailer tends to keep its sale details close to its chest until the moment it starts, so it’s essential to keep on top of the sale schedule to make sure you never miss out on savings.
What Savings Can I Take Advantage Of In The Clear The Rack Sale?
Some retailers say that you can only use one discount or promo code per order, but that isn't the case with Nordstrom Rack, as you can stack many discounts together to make one gargantuan discount and therefore one gargantuan saving! With discounts stacked together, you can get anywhere up to 75% off, which is pretty mind-blowing if you ask us!
Get Over 25% Off Red Tag Clearance Items
One of our favorite savings during the Nordstrom Rack Clear the Rack sale event is the chance to get an extra 25% off from the clearance section. It means exactly what you think it means – an additional saving of 25% on top of whatever the item has already been discounted at! Pinch us!
When Is The Next Nordstrom Rack Clear The Rack Sale?
We don't know exactly when Nordstrom Rack plans to host its Clear The Rack events, but we do know that they happen quite frequently. As the most recent Nordstrom Rack Clear The Rack sale happened between Friday, September 1st and Monday, September 4th, 2023, we can expect the next sale to happen next month. Keep refreshing that homepage for details. And if you haven't already subscribed to the mailing list, we recommend doing it now as subscribers will also be among the first to know!
Nordstrom Rack's November 2022 Clear The Rack Sale Dates
Last year, the November Clear the Rack sale officially started on Friday, November 4th, and ended on Monday, November 7th, so we can expect this year's sale dates to follow a similar pattern. That will give us a few weeks to take a breather before bargain hunting once again in the Nordstrom Rack Black Friday and Nordstrom Rack Cyber Monday sales, which we know are going to give us some unmissable deals!
Holiday Sales
As Nordstrom Rack likes to compete with other retailers, who also have mind-blowing savings during the most popular holidays, the Clear The Rack sale also tends to happen around typical savings holidays too, such as Memorial Day, Labor Day, Black Friday of course, and post-Christmas; so keep that in mind when trying to predict when the next sale might be.
What's On Sale During Nordstrom Rack's Clear The Rack Sale?
Almost *everything* is on sale during Clear The Rack, and many items even have extra discounts. Nordstrom Rack marks its clearance section down by an extra 25% off during the sale, both in stores and online, which means eye-watering savings for everyone!
We've seen best-selling brands like Madewell, J.Crew, Paige Denim, Mother Denim, Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, Nike, Topshop, and Alo Yoga (yes, the same brand loved by the likes of Olivia Wilde and Kendall Jenner) with insane discounts. One of the many examples is paying just $35 for a pair of jeans that normally sell for $250, so we weren't lying when we said that the price drops really are unbeatable!
Discounted Shipping During Nordstrom Rack's Clear The Rack Sale
Nordstrom Rack loves to spoil us, as on top of all the amazing discounts, shipping is also sometimes discounted too. Nordstrom Rack always offers free shipping when you spend over $89 anyway, but we've seen them lower that minimum to $49 for a limited time during previous sales, so that could very well happen during the next sale too!
How Long Is The Nordstrom Rack Clear The Rack Sale?
Clear The Rack always lasts three full days – although Nordy Club members get to start shopping one day earlier, which you can find out more about below – always ending exactly at 11:59pm EST on the third day. However, if you've spied something that you want to get your hands on, we would recommend shopping as soon as possible, as many items are likely to sell out within hours or even minutes of the sale starting!
Tips For Shopping The Nordstrom Rack Clear The Rack Sale
Become a Nordy Club member, as members can start shopping the Clear the Rack sales a whole day earlier than non Nordy Club members, so becoming a member is a no-brainer! Sign up to the Nordy Club Rewards Program today – it's quick, easy, and free to join – to get exclusive sale access a whole day before everyone else.
As with any sale, we always advise shoppers to browse the website well in advance, to get a real feel of what is currently available, and what price it currently retails at, so you know exactly how big a saving you will actually make, if the item is still available when the sale starts.
Make a list if you're really organized (we love an Excel spreadsheet, but a good old-fashioned pen and paper will work too!) and remember to not get too disheartened if your item is out of stock by the time you get onto the website, as there are many, many bargain hunters in the same boat! There will always be more designer bags, designer shoes, and designer jeans for example, and if history has taught us anything, it's that there will always be more Nordstrom Rack sales!
Another thing we always tell shoppers when anticipating a sale is that if you see something online and fall in love with it instantly, don't wait for it to go on sale to snap it up, as it might be gone forever by the time the sale starts!
Subscribe To The Nordstrom Rack Emails
Another tip we give bargain hunters is to ensure you subscribe to the Nordstrom Rack emails, as you will get notified via email when the sale starts, giving you a much-appreciated head start!
What Can I Get In The Clear The Rack Sale?
Women's fashion, men's fashion, accessories, beauty, home goods, and tech accessories are all expected to be in the next sale. You don't have to be a regular Nordstrom Rack shopper to know what items to expect to find, as most items that are usually available at Nordstrom will more than likely be available at Nordstrom Rack too!
