bovichtj Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Howdy! We went to Macy's looking for a suit for DH. He has a job interview on Monday. Well, I was *shocked* at the clearance deals in Men's Dresswear! We found a Ralph Lauren suit, reg. $450 on sale for $69!!!! There were lots of other great deals as well... another gentleman was purchasing an $800 suit for $200. I was certain that we would drop a fortune, but we came out under $300 for shirt, 3 ties, suit and alterations... Now hopefully the interview will go welll...Joanne
atisikitabasket Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 were they having an extra % off or was that the marked down price?
bovichtj Posted January 26, 2007 Author Posted January 26, 2007 Yes, it was 30% off clearance prices... the ticket was marked $99.99.
christmasangel Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Wow- I will have to go there tomorrow- I'm looking for a birthday present for a 2 year old and was thinking clothes.
SHILOHONE11 Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 are there extra 15 or 20% off coupons in the newspaper?
bovichtj Posted January 27, 2007 Author Posted January 27, 2007 FYI there is an additional 15% off today for Macy's card holders... We found a $70 dress shirt for DH for $7, and a $600 wool overcoat for $165.... (we don't have the Macy's card, or everything would have been cheaper yet ) Joanne
paohenlee Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Loved it!! thanx a lot for the post~ got two pairs of dress pants for $19~ SWEET
iolcott Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Thanks for the post, I got two suits reg. $330 and $495, for $50 an $90 respectively! I love this site!
goodygirl411 Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 I work there a couple of hours a month just to get the extra 25% off clothing. Not good for my credit card but good for my closet.
aarkaay Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 They are running extra 40% off of the clearance price till tomorrow..
sm1kla Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Just got back from Macy's- they had their clearance bras B1G1 Free! I needed bras!
TAJ mommy Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 I work there a couple of hours a month just to get the extra 25% off clothing. Not good for my credit card but good for my closet. I agree! I worked there when it was Kaufmanns, whoa did I ever stock up! You can't beat the discount! I loved it! I have the Macy's elite card which I get a coupon for 20% and I used it on Weds. when it was 50/30 then I got my 20. Somethings were even 75/30.
Rayny Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 I agree! I worked there when it was Kaufmanns, whoa did I ever stock up! You can't beat the discount! I loved it!

IMO, Macy's doesn't even slightly compare.
bugsette Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 I agree with you Rayny I liked Kaufmann's alot better
supershopper1 Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 There was a writeup in last weeks paper that Macy's has lost alot of customers since they changed from Kaufmanns. It was my favorite store too! I miss my brands and don't know where to go now. Only highend brand petiete sizes fit me.

I miss my brands and don't know where to go now. Only highend brand petiete sizes fit me.Luckily for us, a brand new Boscov's just opened in our area. It's replaced Kaufmann's for me (though I'd love to have had both). They seem to have a nice petite section (though I'm not short, so I didn't spend much time there). If you have one in your area, it might be worth the trip. The sales right now are really great, too. They carry a lot of better name brands that Kaufmann's used to have.
sm1kla Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 I like Macy's much better. I grew up in Kaufmanns, my mom worked there for 13 years. I think Macy's clothing is much better - their store brands INC & Charter Club (I think that's it) are worlds above the dated Karen Scott stuff that Kaufmanns offered. INC is modern, has nice styles & prints. In the kids dept Kaufmanns offered Just Friends and again, I prefer Macy's Green Dog brand for the same reasons.
supershopper1 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 That's Macy's problem at my store it is mostly their brand! Very little Liz & no Chaz etc.
nonnie1967 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Our Macy's used to be The Jones Store. I miss it. :-( I used to get the most awesome end-of season deals there. I've never seen anything like those deals at Macy's...and I really don't even like the clothes as well.
Rayny Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 That's Macy's problem at my store it is mostly their brand! Very little Liz & no Chaz etc.This is my thoughts too. I don't want their stupid brands, I want better known and made brands. I took my son school shopping (Kaufmann's has always been our favorite store for boys). Well, we had, Levi, Levi, Levi, and more Levi (plus their brand which I would never buy anyway) to choose from. Don't get me wrong, I like Levi, but I also like variety.
autumnroser Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 I had fun at macy's this weekend! It used to be Filene's here. We dont care about brands, so that may make a difference. My mom and I went shopping for my 3yr old. I love shopping for my kids! We got him a new winter coat, 2 pairs of jeans, 4 sweaters, 1 turtle neck, 4 long sleeve shirts (rugby style) and a package of socks. Everything came to 106 dollars. I did a happy dance my son is dressed nicely and warmly for the rest of the winter. He also loves his new spiderman winter coat!
justlisa27 Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Wow! Thanks so much for posting this! I had never been in Macy's before but made the 45 mile trip yesterday to check out the sales. They were having an additional 65% off in Ft. Collins CO and man did I get some deals! I bought DS some shorts for $1.xx, Quick Silver board shorts for $3.xx, jeans for $3 and got myself some jeans for $5! Thank you! I wish I had more time to shop but DS was very crabby so we had to leave.
Rockfordmom Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 They were 40% off the clearance price for most of the clothes yesterday, some of the childrens coats & snowpants weren't included in the extra % off and the household stuff wasn't included either.
dswright Posted February 6, 2007 Posted February 6, 2007 Hated shopping at Kaufmann's for reasons stated above. It seemed like a high end store with senior citizen clothing. Macys is far superior to Kaufmann's. Our son wears Green Dog almost exclusively, and at 75% off, we don't mind him liking it.
mln51 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 wow, I got a suit for my mom today for 3.49 and a summer like dress, brown with tan poka dots for 3.49. Great deals!
kselzer Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I don't know how long the sale lasts, but I was at Macy's yesterday and all home clearance was an extra 50% off the lowest price (no Macy's card needed, and no extra discount with the card). I got an Oral-B electronic toothbrush for $25, regular price was $149.99!!! Awesome deal! Also a lot of other depts. had an extra 15% or 30% off clearance when using your Macy's card.
