It’s worth noting that Macy’s has a pretty long list of exclusions (like Bonus Buys, Deals of the Day, Everyday Values, Last Act Clearance, certain name brands, etc.), but thankfully Macy’s takes the guesswork out of which products are eligible. You can see the price of the item after the coupon discount on each qualifying product’s page.
You can only use one coupon code per transaction, and orders of $25 or more ship for free. Shoppers can also select free in-store or curbside pickup, depending on the availability of the item. Select products are even eligible for same-day delivery when you place your order by 12 p.m.

What to Buy at Macy’s Friends & Family Sale in 2020

Home Essentials

If you’re looking for early Black Friday pricing on home items, then this is your time to shop. We spotted some particularly good discounts on cookware and bakeware sets, bedding, towels and kitchen essentials.
While many of the deals aren’t as good as what you’ll find during Macy’s Black Friday sale, some of them are close enough if you need something now. Do your homework before making any big purchases. Slick Tip: The $84 Tools of the Trade Stainless Steel Cookware Set may seem like a slick find, but it’s going to drop to only $30 on November 16th when the Macy’s Black Friday sale goes live.

Clothing & Accessories

Select clothing, shoes, jewelry and accessories are also 30% off during the Friends & Family event (including designers that rarely go on sale). The best thing about Macy’s current selection is that it includes a ton of winter apparel — not just off-season styles. That being said, you may want to compare prices at Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack. Both stores have some pretty good sales going on at the moment with new markdowns added regularly.
Speaking of new markdowns, keep an eye out for that exact label on select Macy’s Friends & Family deals. These items are much less picked-over than some other options included in the sale.

Beauty

Several beauty items at Macy’s are 15% off now through November 9th. Slick Tip: The secret is to shop beauty items on sale that also qualify for the additional 15% off discount. When you stack the deals, the beauty prices are actually better than competitors like ULTA and Sephora.
There are some great deals on fragrance sets and hair-care tools, so keep these in mind for holiday gift-giving. You can usually get the most bang for your buck with bonus buys. For example, you can get a Lancôme Holiday Beauty Box valued at $555 (yes, $555.00 – not a typo!) for only $72.50 with any $42 Lancôme purchase.
Here are a few trending beauty sale items worth looking at:
