simonalex Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Those who have used it in the past, can you give me some ideas as to what you buy using those coupons? I never shop aT macy's as I find that store way to expensive for me. I will be going there just for this coupon and so I need help?? Also can one person use more than one coupon and they do not create any problems?? Thanks Simonalex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebony0421 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 The coupon will be in your local paper either the day before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving Day. In small print at the bottom of the coupon it will tell you what you can't use it on, so everything else is fair game. Last year I bought my daughter some jeans, I bought winter scarves, hats and gloves. I also bought rugs for my kitchen and a few other things. I bought items, used the coupon and paid the difference. I was only allowed to use one coupon per transaction. I hope I covered everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchandalisha Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 What day (s) is the $10 coupon good for? Is it good on Friday and Saturday? Or just on Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchandalisha Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 One more question.....is it good all day or just for a certain number of hours? Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebony0421 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 The coupon was good for Friday and Saturday. Our Friday sale was 6a.m.-12noon and the Saturday sale was either 7 or 8 to 12noon. Ask all the questions that you want, that is how we learn from each other and save:gd_dollar . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesliepear Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 If you can find the right socks (that aren't excluded), the coupon is good for them. I got my husband some men's socks (their charter club brand) this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchandalisha Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Does there seem to be alot of things that you can't use the coupon on? I am thinking of doing my BF shopping in my town at the stores I usually go to and then doing the shopping at Macy's on Saturday about 1 1/2 hours away. I want to know if it is worth my time to go. I want to get as much as possible, I just want to know if alot of items are excluded. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erh12275 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Does there seem to be alot of things that you can't use the coupon on?Was wondering this too. Wondering if it's worth my time to stop in there or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oregonmommy Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Macys is the main place I buy my son's clothes since they have the best selection of tommy hilfiger and polo in town. Does anyone know if this coupon is good for these brands? Or is it just for their housebrands like Greendog? Macys has great clothes for boys (not so much for girls I find) this would be great!

ebony0421 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 There are restrictions on specific designers i.e. JLo, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger etc. They wouldn't let me use it on costume jewelry and there was something else, but I can't remember. I had 3 coupons of my own and a young lady that was in the store gave me 4 of hers, so I did pretty well. Don't forget that there are sales going on AND you are using the coupon, so if you hit up your local 7-11 and buy all of their papers, you'll do fine. I remember buying my daughter some jeans off of the clearance rack and clearance items had an additional 40% off, so I ended up paying about $6 for a pair of L.E.I. jeans. I sure hope that the coupon and sale is the same as last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebony0421 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 You can use one $10 coupon on one item and one transaction. You can then go to another register and use another coupon to buy another item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmakaro91 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Our local Famous Barr has been bought by Macy's. Hasn't changed the name as yet. Does anyone know if the coupon is corporation wide? Tx:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchandalisha Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I have no clue, but I have the same question. I hate to wait until the day before Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving day to know if the coupon is in the paper for that store in my area or if I have to travel 1 1/2 away to get newspapers for an actual Macy's store. Does anyone work for Macy's or that corporation know? I also buy several papers for Carson Pirie Scott for BF, last year my mom and I together bought 28 papers which was 14 coupons each and we got alot of stuff for basically nothing. Thanks for the information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanam Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 apart from the 10 dollar coupons do they have sale also going on or is it all dependant on the coupons you have. and macy is an expensive store so are the prices really marked down?

ebony0421 Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 On bf they have sales,doorbusters AND they have the $10 coupon. Please remember that I am going off of information from when I lived on the East Coast last bf, but now I am on the West Coast, so things may go a little differently.

halokiti Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I sure hope they have it this year. The place was gangbusters last year. The coupons only came out on Thanksgiving Day and Friday. I bought the entire stacks of the local newspaper and used a bunch of coupons which a lot of other people did also. The sale was for a couple of hours in the morning on Friday and Saturday. It's a good idea to have a plan of what you are buying or prescan the items at the store cause the lines are going to be long. Also get there as early as possible. I tended to stick with kitchen stuff, linens, socks, and lingerie, since you can use that anytime. No clothes since it would take time to try it on. I also think the coupon has the same restrictions as the usual 10% off coupons, such as not usable on certains brands, makeup, etc. I think it's also not good with doorbusters. You also have to go to different registers since the coupon is supposed to be one per customer. Please be considerant to other shoppers and don't bring a bunch of items from other depts and pay/price check them at a register with a long line(last year and happend to me: had to resort to being belligerent to the lady).

ebony0421 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I was allowed to buy "doorbusters" with the $10 coupon last year. Someone forgot to put the "doorbuster" header on alot of signs and they had to let it go. I was such a happy camper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebony0421 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Do we have any west coast folk on here that had this coupon last year? I'm being told that the west coast stores are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonalex Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Okay I want to ask this- someone said that you can use one coupon at one time. So you stand in line and use a coupon. Does it mean that for 2nd coupon, you have to join the line again from start? That is going a take a relaly long time!!! because lines on BF are awefully long?? That means the whole day will go in Macy's!!! How do you guys manage to do 15 coupons in Macy's? Thanks Simonalex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebony0421 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 It is one coupon per transaction, so after you make your purchase at that register, you have to go to another register to use your next coupon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
