How to save big $$$ and combine coupons / promotions at Macy’s

1. Buy coupons on E-Bay if you don’t receive any in the mail (only Macy’s cardholders get them in the mail)
2. Shop clearance racks for additional 40-50% off the clearance price during the One Day Sale
3. Use a $10 off of purchase of $30 coupon (additional 30% off); or $20 off a purchase of $50 coupon (additional 40% off), and spread out your transactions into $30 or $50 amounts to use those coupons in the most advantageous ways
4. If you cannot find enough $10 and $20 coupons, use the 20% off coupon during the One Day Sale - have the coupons ready in advance – sometimes it takes a long time for them to arrive if you purchase the coupons on E-Bay.
5. Use a Macy’s gift card to pay – you can usually buy it on E-Bay or another online gift card seller, normally for at least 10%-20% off the value on the card.
THE OUTCOME
Best case scenario example (assume 50% additional off clearance items, $20 off $50 coupon, and a gift card purchased at 20% off):
Polo Ralph Lauren shirt from clearance rack with MSRP price of $39.95 and a clearance tag of 9.97 can be purchased for the total of: 9.97*.5*.6*.8= $2.39 before tax
Worst case secenario (only 40% off additional discount on clearance items, only 20% off coupon, and paying with anything but the discounted gift card):
9.97*.6*.8 =$4.79 before tax

The worst case scenario gives you exactly double the price of the best case scenario, but still, paying $4.79 for a Polo shirt is an awesome deal and it is better than I have ever seen at any other store. Please note: you will get these prices only if you follow the outline above, and ONLY if you shop at the store (not online).
