Many of our customers love this service, among many others, because we design it to benefit them. And everyone can do it, guys, not just fashion rewards cardholders-well u have to have at least a card to process it on. But the deals are so great, employees take to it as well! And Jenn have u heard about the level 2 and higher reward members receiving 10 pts. per dollar this Sunday, which we will start pre-saling for on December 3rd? You basically get back 10% of what you spend in NORDSTROM NOTES! Take advantage of this great deal if you can. Sorry everyone it is hard for me to get out of work mode! lol.

I did hear someone died last year and that is just so awful, all that for a nice deal... That's just too crazy! But I did go to London a few weeks ago, and I made the mistake of stepping into Primark. It was complete madness!! Don't like it at all!

I don't like crowds, and it just isn't worth my time to go out and wait. I did buy something in a regular store today, I didn't get the best price, but I fifn't want to wait until the item sold out.

We have `The crazy days´in many department stores instead. Some of the regular articles are reduced and then there is stuff hauled from somewhere I don´t know. During these days, and when the annual sales begin, I won´t enter stores at all. Too much crowd, and people behave madly. I´ll do my shopping after the chaos, since new stuff appears immediately after the sales. I actually don´t know when the perfect time to shop is; if I buy too early, I forget what I have bought and regret. If I buy mid-season, I might miss my size. And I have already written what I think about sales. Black Friday I have not experienced. We have `The crazy days´in many department stores instead.

You go in the week before Thanksgiving and pick out what you want (they can tell you whether an item going on sale) and then they'll put stuff on hold so you don't have to fight the crowds on Black Friday, plus you don't get charged until you go to pick things up. Perhaps this a perk for Nordstrom fashion rewards cardholders? I sure appreciated it anyway. Anything to avoid the malls today!!! I discovered the beauty of pre-sales at Nordstrom this year.

Nothing and I mean NOTHING! is worth the risk and hassle. I would much rather be sitting in my pjs in front of my laptop. But even before on line shopping-NO Way! I would rather pay a bit more and I love a bargain as much as anyone. That's what years of working in retail will do for you. Totally turn you off the crowds! You learn when to shop,when it's less crowded and busy! I knew all the short cuts into the mall! I would rather die than fight my way through the crowds!

I've done Black Fridays in the past and in my experience, I haven't saved that much... my time is more valuable than the $20 I might save on a few items here or there. Steer clear!
