Sunday Money Roundup – Nordstrom Rack Edition.
For Christmas, I received a sizable gift card to Nordstroms. Mind you, I have never shopped there or really ever been in one, but I was thrilled to be given some money to be spent on clothing, which I rarely buy for myself. So one day I grabbed my gift card and headed to the mall, where I almost had a heart attack looking at the prices of these clothes. $150 for jeans? $99 for a shirt? Um, at this rate all my money would have gotten me a whopping 2 or 3 items, which is crazy. Then someone reminded me about Nordstrom Rack and how much cheaper it was – and boy was he right! I went over there and spent only 1/4 of the value of my card on 3 new shirts, leaving me with plenty to go back again and look for more. So if you ever receive a Nordstom gift card, you may want to take it over to the rack so you can actually get more than 1 thing with it! On to the roundup…
