Johnston says finding a good deal is her speciality, and paying full price is not. She has become skilled at getting clothing and home items for less, and sharing the markdowns in her cart this weekend is part of her job. The lineup is built around some of her favourite stores — Pottery Barn, Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and Banana Republic — and it is time to refine shoe collections, with many pairs on sale, to find outfits for the pumpkin patch, and to prepare for the holidays with fresh décor. Readers should not miss these hot-ticket deals, Johnston says, and her picks are the place to start.

Nordstrom

Light-wash blue bootcut jeans worn with patterned pointed high heels, on a white background

It is time to put the tank tops away and reach for crisp-weather outfits, Johnston says, and Nordstrom’s sale section has plenty of basics worthy of a capsule wardrobe. She is surprised the Mother bootcut jeans are still in stock, and she pairs the find with a navy sweater that would look exquisite over a denim skirt with ankle boots, plus a suede pair by Dolce Vita.

Pottery Barn

Cream chunky cable-knit throw with tassels draped over a white sofa, with floral pillows, a dark green pillow, and a cream pumpkin decoration

For a cozier home on a budget, Johnston says Pottery Barn’s sale and clearance sections do not disappoint. The cable-knit throw gives total Gilmore Girls vibes, she says, and the same section holds ambiance-adding candles, dainty glass lanterns for a warm glow on a porch or patio with candles — or a seasonal touch with faux leaves — and a scalloped table runner that adds charm to a tablescape.

Talbots

Woman with long brown hair wearing an open beige diamond-cable cardigan over a white-and-pink striped top and white trousers, on a white background

This weekend, Johnston notes, Talbots offers an extra discount on clearance finds plus an extra discount on the entire order. The diamond cable-knit cardigan has an eye-catching textured pattern that adds dimension to an outfit, she says, while cozy French terry pants are comfortable enough for lounging at home but polished enough for errands or Sunday brunch. Sister brand Haven Well Within is hosting the same sale, so readers can also pick up a polished sweater for layering.

Amazon

Flat rectangular area rug with an abstract distressed pattern in light grey, white and muted grey-blue, on a plain light background

A new rug is one of the easiest ways to give a home an instant autumn upgrade, Johnston says, and the featured washable rug comes with an on-site coupon noted in the listing. A festive door hanger gives guests a warm greeting before they step into the home, she adds, and readers may also be tempted to put a washable accent rug in the kitchen or bathroom.

Spanx

Model wearing a black zip-up track jacket and matching black pants, on a white background

Spanx loungewear deals are unreal, Johnston says, and readers do not have to wait for Black Friday. The track jacket from the popular AirEssentials line is her snuggle-up pick, and she is also partial to a half-zip sweatshirt and coordinating straight-leg pants, described as the ideal travel uniform.

Anthropologie

White ceramic serving platter with a dark bow detail on the rim, holding leafy greens, asparagus, lemon slices and herbs, with a fork, on a bright table

For readers getting a head start on hosting finds ahead of the season, Johnston says Anthropologie’s holiday home hub has festive finds. The bow-adorned serving platter is on sale, she notes, along with a quilted ceramic mug for sipping hot cocoa on chilly mornings and candy cane glass plates for serving homemade cookies at gatherings with friends and family.

Banana Republic

Black satin long-sleeve ruched top with a V-neckline and ruched sleeves, laid flat on a white background

Banana Republic is a great spot to stock up on fall staples, Johnston says, especially with an extra discount on already-discounted styles. The satin ruched top can take the wearer effortlessly from the office to a night on the town, she says, and readers can also score a double-discounted RSVP-ready dress for holiday parties, plus a crewneck T-shirt to layer under a denim jacket.

Gilt

Plain black leather sneaker with black laces and an off-white sole, side profile on a white background

Gilt’s clearance section has marked down designer shoes, Johnston says, but she zeroed in on Veja, Golden Goose, and Ugg. Sleek everyday Veja sneakers and Golden Goose leather sneakers that add a sporty touch to sweater dresses and skirts lead the picks, along with Ugg Classic Ultra Mini boots for slipping on when heading out on chilly mornings. The only catch, she notes, is that membership is needed to unlock the deals — but it is free to sign up.

Old Navy

Model wearing a red, black and green patchwork plaid flannel pajama top and pants, with a red top underneath, a green jacket over the shoulders, a blue scarf, and grey slippers, on a white background

Stock up on denim for the whole family, Johnston says, and get a jump start on holiday shopping with early deals. Readers can snag matching holiday pajamas, check someone off a gift list with an oversized cotton sweater in 13 colours, or refresh basics with a long-sleeve tee.

Bluemercury

Small clear bottle of beige liquid foundation with a tall rose-gold metallic cap and no labelling, centered on a white background

Beauty lovers should look at Bluemercury’s sale section, Johnston says. For frizzy curls, a Dyson pre-style cream is designed to tame flyaways and add definition, she notes, and readers can also pick up a matte liquid foundation for a smooth, shine-free finish and a face serum to give dry skin a boost of hydration. For a quick pick-me-up on the go, a travel-size hydration spray is small enough to tuck into a purse or carry-on.
