You know we love a good sale, and Nordstrom Rack’s Clear the Rack sale is a great one. It happens a few times a year (though they tend to spring ’em on us). The most recent event ran Nov. 10 – 13, with deals that were perfect for gifting ahead of the holiday season.
With an additional 25% off select red-tag clearance items, the Clear the Rack sale typically lasts two to four days. And the first day is the best time to find the best deals … we’re talking up to 75% off. However, deals go quickly — and generally don’t get restocked — so if you see a deal you want, act fast.
What can you expect from Nordstrom Rack’s Clear the Rack sale? How often does this event happen? We break it all down for you right here. And don’t worry if you miss a good markdown — the Nordstrom Rack Black Friday sale and their highly-anticipated Nordstrom Black Friday deals will be here this fall.
