6 Expert Savings Tips at Department Stores

Sun, rain or snow, saving money is always in season. Unless you live in the north east and spend your winters burning money to stay warm. Department stores are some of the most likely to offer promo codes and rewards to their customers all year long, not just around the holiday season. Check out our favorite ways to save money at home and apparel department stores in 2016 with Promocodewatch.

-Take off a certain percentage with promo codes. Be on the lookout as stores like Kohl’s, Macy’s, JCPenney and more regularly offer a wide variety of promo codes that allow you to take a percentage off your total. For example, at the time of this article, it’s possible to take up to 25% off purchases of $100 or more with JCPenney promo codes.

-Enjoy perks as a Card Holder. Department stores often have their own unique credit cards that among other benefits, give shoppers access to regular deals and exclusives. By simply using your stores credit card you will build up rewards points which can be redeemed for store credit. Some Department Stores will even go a step further and offer extra discounts automatically when using their rewards card. Kohl’s Card Holders for example, could enjoy up to 30% (or more!) off of any order.

-Look for free shipping. While shopping online is convenient, paying for shipping is a something every shopper wants to avoid. Thankfully most major Department Stores offer some form of free shipping. It’s not rare to find outright free shipping no strings attached but it’s more likely to see something like this TJ Maxx promo code: free shipping on orders over $89. Make sure to double check the stores shipping policy before placing your order.

-Sign up for email newsletters and let the deals come to you. Signing up for a department stores email newsletter is a great way to passively find the best deals available. Stores also offer deals when first signing up. For example, Bloomingdale’s has run promotions for 10% off when signing up for their email list. And don’t forget to check your spam mail if you’re not seeing the emails.

-Buy limited time sales for specific products. As department stores experience product turnover, older products become available for cheaper to sell faster and make room on their shelves. You will typically find these discounted items in sections labeled “clearance” or “outlet”.

-Wait for the holidays. The best time to find more deals than you could even use is around the holidays. Black Friday is obviously the biggest but holidays like Valentine’s Day and President’s Day provide a more niche season with appropriately more niche products. This Valentine’s Day save an extra 15% on jewelry at Macy’s. And this is just one of the many department store holiday deals running now!

If you know where to look, it’s possible to find promo codes to save money every single time you shop online or in-stores.
