Best Macy’s Black Friday Deals from 2012
Last year’s 35-page behemoth of an ad featured a total of 867 discounted items – a lot to sift through but not without plenty of highlights. The department store cultivated anticipation for the best Macy’s Black Friday deals from 2012 with special early-bird prices available from midnight to 1 pm on Friday and 7 am to 1 pm on Saturday.
With price cuts in a wide variety of departments this ad may very well have made Macy’s a top destination for one-stop holiday shopping – especially for shoppers looking for jewelry, apparel and kitchenware. Here are some of the ad’s most expansive categories and biggest discounts
- Women’s apparel: Macy’s went all-out on its women’s wear discounts. Some of this category’s standout deals included $49.99 cashmere sweaters, $14.99 sweaters and knit tops, bras for $12.99 each and $59.99 down coats.
- Women’s footwear and handbags: Shoppers had an incentive to stock up on staples with 50% off dressy and cold-weather style boots and fashion totes marked down to $29.99.
- Juniors’ apparel: Sweet deals on teen fashion included 50% off sportswear, $19.99 puffer coats and a free sweater with the purchase of select American Rag jeans.
- Men’s apparel: Select sweaters and Calvin Klein jeans were Buy 1, Get 1 free. Other doorbusters included $9.99 tees, $11.99 polos and sportshirts and $21.99 jeans.
- Kitchen appliances and cookware: Shoppers had their choice of a dozen kitchen appliances on sale for $9.99 (after rebate), including a slow cooker, coffee maker, waffle iron and others. Cookware highlights included an 11-piece Circulon set for only $99.99 and 60% off cast iron casseroles.
- Bed & bath: a wide selection of bedding and towels was up to 60% off, with select 7-piece bedding sets marked down to $49.99.
- Watches and jewelry: This department featured some of Macy’s biggest savings, with many pieces on sale for well over half-off: 14k gold circle braided bracelet for $199.99 (orig. $690), 14k gold w/diamond accent hoop earrings for $149 (orig. $600) and sterling silver diamond accented engraved locket with chain for $59 (orig. $200).
- Toys: The 2012 ad didn’t pay a lot of attention to toys, but parents could still get excited about Buy 1, Get 1 Free deals and prices as low as $5.99.
The most heavily discounted item in Macy’s 2012 ad was a black Michael Kors camelhair sportcoat, with its $99.99 price tag (down from $450) making it a whopping 77.78% off
The ad’s only major drawback? Exclusions. Macy’s otherwise outstanding deals didn’t apply to items in a number of categories, including Superbuys, Everyday Value Specials, electronics, fragrances and cosmetics, furniture and special orders. But overall, Macy’s deep discounts and wide selection made it a strong contender among 2012 Black Friday destinations.
