Nordstrom.com Coupons & Sales for May 2013

Nordstrom cuts up to 65% off a selection of women's and children's clothing, shoes, and accessories during its Half-Yearly Sale. (The sale banner says up to 40% off, but we found greater discounts within; prices are as marked on the product page.) Plus, all orders qualify for free shipping. With prices starting at $2.98 for women and $4.02 for kids, that's the best sale we've seen on these items at Nordstrom since a month ago, when we saw up to 70% off a similar selection. Some best bets:

• Pumpkin Patch Toddler Girls' Tropical Print Skirt in Light Bahama for $23.11
• French Connection Women's Jag Striped Dress in Black/White (pictured) for $52.80

Nordstrom cuts 15% to 50% off a selection of men's shoes. Plus, all orders qualify for free shipping. With prices from $14.96, that's one of the best discounts we've seen on men's shoes at Nordstrom. (We listed up to 55% off a week ago.) Sizes are limited. Some best bets:

• Timberland Men's BW Fells Sandals for $23.90

Nordstrom offers a Tracy Reese for Clinique 8-Piece Gift Set for free with any Clinique purchase of $30 or more. (The gift will be added to your cart automatically with a qualifying purchase.) Plus, all orders qualify for free shipping. That's the best Clinique gift set offer we've seen from Nordstrom since last fall. Each bag includes eye cream, liquid facial soap, makeup remover, eye shadow, quickliner, lipstick, mascara, eye cream, and Tracy Reese for Clinique Cosmetics Bag.

A best bet is the Clinique Even Better Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Makeup Compact in 20 colors for $31 with free shipping. The Tracy Reese for Clinique 8-Piece Gift Set (pictured) will be added to your cart automatically. That's an $80 savings and $8 below the lowest total price we could find for the body butter alone elsewhere.
