When is the Best Time to Save on Macy’s Luggage

Generally, the best savings advice is to shop just as the season is ending. Because traveling peaks during the summer months and around the holidays, back-to-school time in August and January are great times to find deals on luggage. 

But if you need to buy luggage outside of those times, take advantage of Macy’s sales. Once a month, look out for storewide deals during Macy’s One Day Sales. We also have a year-round Macy’s sales calendar, which is a great general guideline. There can be some variation for the exact dates of these sales, but if you know the pattern, you can be ready to act when a great deal comes along.

Macy's One Day Sales

Typically but not always the third weekend of every month
Macy's Clearance Sales Typically a two-day sale beginning the third Saturday of the month. (Deals usually start on Friday though.)
Black Friday in July Sale Find deals similar to those found during Macy’s Black Friday
Major Holiday Sales New Years Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and more. There’s always something on sale on Macy’s website during your favorite major holidays and long weekends.
Macy's Semi-Annual Sales January and July: expect deals of 25%–75% off everything (plus an extra 10%–15% if you're shopping with a promo code like those from Groupon Coupons).
Macy's Friends & Family Sales Look for these blowout events in early spring, summer, and December, and you can save 30% off everything in the store or online.

Macy’s Luggage Sets vs. Individual Pieces

Is there more value in buying individual pieces or luggage sets? The answer really depends. Luggage sets are a more expensive investment overall, but the cost per bag is typically a lot lower. So if you need multiple pieces, say a larger bag to check on long trips and a carry-on, a luggage set is probably the best choice. But if you travel primarily for work or just on weekend trips, it might be better to buy a carry-on. You’ll pay more for the bag by itself, but you’ll be more likely to get the specific features you want or need, and you won’t be paying for add-on items that will get little to no use.
