Macy's

Love Macy's! Today I spent less than $70 and got a bathrobe, 2 tops and 6 pairs of Gold Toe socks. Free shipping, less sales tax. I'm a happy camper. They know how to market their products.

Totally agree. I get most of my things from Macys . I wait for sales, shop online, and try to wait for the free shipping deal. I can return to the local store. They have nice things and have good sales. I do not have much succes with ordering clothing from Q, but macys things most of the time fit just fine.

I enjoy shopping at Macys. I am worried it will go under like Sears and other big box stores because of online shopping . Sears was the anchor store at our large mall and Macys is the other anchor store.

Just received a Macy’s order in the mail today. Placed my order Thursday! Super fast shipping. Refreshed basic solid scoop neck tees for spring and summer. Great basics at a great price.

That's the other thing about Macy's, fast shipping. One of my orders that I placed this morning has already shipped. Plus I can return to the local store. Amazon, BedBath&Beyond also ship fast to me. Not so with QVC.

I don't like Macy's at all and it has nothing to do with Macy's.

This sounds crazy, but here's why: I miss Marshall Fields very much.

Fields to me was like what Tiffany's was to Holly Golightly.

In the Chicagoland area Macy's bought Fields and inhabits their former stores.

Whenever I walk into one of these stores, especially the State Street store, I have so many wonderful family memories that come rushing back, but now it's different. Different as in not Fields. Fields was Christmas.

Macy's, I know, is not to blame. A Marshall Fields grandson sold out. It's just business and progress and all, but I still dislike the whole thing.

The funny part is, my Mom liked Macy's! She wouldn't tell me when she purchased something from Macy's because she knew how I felt. Even my Mom was more progressive than me.

Yes, I could shop the website, but maybe I just want a nice trip to the store to see and experience a day out.

I'm not originally from Chicago although I live here now. I too liked Marshall Field's. But IMO if anyone had to buy it I'm glad it was Macy's! I also miss Carson Pirire Scott. Enjoyed shopping both those stores.

plus to through Retailmenot and it's usually $10 cash back when you spend $50. Also just have any beauty item with your purchase and get free shipping if you are under the free shipping amount.

@kaydee50 I shopped Macy’s online sale today. I’m getting so lazy to go to the mall, flip through the racks, etc. By the time I find what I like, don’t have my size or preferred color. Online shopping took 5 minutes. Click Click Click and didn’t use any gas or have to get out of my robe. Lol

@Chicagosuburbangirl,

Loved the architecture and it was a high end department store🌻

I like Macys, but I have only purchased online lately. They never seemm to have my size in the color I want in the store....probably because their racks are a mess....

Our store is not what it was 5 years ago....

Re: Macy's

Chicagosuburbangirl — Sun, 15 Apr 2018 14:36:45 GMT

Yes, beautiful architecture at State Street and in Oak Park too.

My mom would take me to the Oak Park store and I would have my little purse and short white gloves. We would stop at "the Pantry"( Fields bakery) and get a chocolate frosting covered chocolate cake cookie.

Most of the time we ate them in the car on the short trip home, gloves off of course!

The store was high end, yes. So very elegant in a way the world does not see too much of now.

Thanks for letting me reminisce. Such lovely memories. Heartwarming that some of you share the same.

Macys is my go to brick/mortar store too. Have gotten some screaming deals there. The clothes fit me very well too. Been replacing my gross dishes with fiestaware and Macys has the best prices going. Fast and free shipping too. And---I can drive to the store in 15 minutes. Got a $225 Fossil leather handbag---for under $70 with all the sales and coupons---the best!!!

@kaydee50I wish I could get excited about Macys - there's one 2 minutes (or less even) from my front door. Haven't spent a dollar there for several years now.

And my BIL and sister just yesterday went to a Macys near them. They will never return - dirty, disheveled, etc. They found what they wanted at the outlets where they should have gone to start with!

PS - All 3 of us are dinosaurs who prefer to brick and mortar shop.
