Hello springtime and hello deals!  This week has been filled with fabulous shopping deals all across New York City.  Whether you are looking for a sample sale or store coupons, our users have posted some discounts that make us feel like we’re shopping at the Woodbury Commons Outlets, rather than in Manhattan.

For the Coupon Clippers

Saks 5^th Avenue:  You don’t have to be Jill Zarin of the Real Housewives of New York City to shop at Saks.  Thanks to a tip from Socially Superlative, Saks 5^th Avenue is having its annual Friends and Family sale.  Now through Sunday, enjoy 20% off, with 10% off beauty and fragrances. (611 5th Avenue, between 49th and 50th St).

Macy’s: If Macy’s is more in your price range, check out the store’s Great Give Back sale going on through Sunday.  According to user jboyaval, there will be a wide range of markdowns, from 25-85% off.  Pick up a copy of Metro or AM NY to get a savings pass that will give you an extra 10-15% off.  (151 W. 34^th St, between 6^th Avenue and 7^th Avenue).

For the Sample Sale Socialites

New York Dog:  When shopping for yourself, don’t forget about your
favorite pooch.  New York Dog is moving, and everything must go!  Now through Saturday, enjoy great savings on carriers, collars, leashes and more.  Sale runs from 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. (133 W. 25th Street, between 8th and 9th).

Out with the Old, in with the New

Origins:  User Ricebird of NYC Recession Diary shared this deal with us.  All you have to do is take a  bottle of face wash (used or new) to Origins, and they will swap it for a free full- size version of its high-performance cleaner (a $20 value).  Don’t have facewash at your desk?  Pick up a local drugstore’s brand and bring it in.  (Various locations in Flatiron, Upper West Side, Macy’s Herald Square, Grand Central and Soho participating).

H&M:  Purchase a cute springtime outfit for your child (or niece or nephew) at 20% off.  Simply bring in gently worn children’s clothing, and you’ll receive 20% off any childrenswear purchase.  Don’t have readily accessible children’s clothes?  Ladies, check your drawer of t-shirts.  Chances are you’ll find a youth large.  Thanks, user saleinfo, for alerting us to this deal!  (Various locations).
