There are a lot of strategies for shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

Here are seven of those items.

Socks are simply an item I don’t love spending a ton of money on. But I’ve loved Bombas since they launched years and years ago and wear them on a daily basis and also for working out, so these are worth it. They’re incredibly comfortable and I never get blisters while wearing them.
