Nordstrom anniversary sale starts Friday!

Shopping at Nordstrom tempts me to blow $500 a month on clothes, but during its semi-annual sale starting Friday, July 16, prices come down noticeably. Purses, boots, leggings, jackets, and a whole lot more are as much as 35% off.

If you shop online througheBates, a site that automatically tracks what you spend and sends you a cash rebate about 90 days later, you can save another 3%. New eBates members will also get $5 in cash or a $10 gift card to Home Depot, Beauty.com, Red Envelope, or Magazines.com. Every little bit helps, eh?

The last day of the Nordstrom sale is August 1. Prices go back up August 2, 2010. Stores open early Friday for the first day of the sale.
