Steals of the week — September 30, 2026

This is shallower than the 50% off everything that ended on Monday, and we would not pretend otherwise — but it is still 40% across full-price autumn stock with nothing to type, and the $35 pants and jeans are the better buy if denim is what you came for. Loft’s own panel and its homepage agree on the date this time, which is the check we now run on this store before printing anything from it.

Last week Chico’s published no end date; this week both halves are dated to Saturday, October 3. For one top alone, this is only 25%. For the sale rail, the extra 25% is the one that applies.

Its fourth edition in a row, which tells you something — at Ann Taylor an extra 50% on the sale rail is less an event than the resting price of markdowns, so there is no need to rush it. The 30% off full price is the part that moves less often. Sale styles are final sale: buy the size you already own.

What is new is the sweater offer that started this morning — 30% off full price, which reaches the new-season knits the sale rail does not. The exclusions matter here: no cashmere and no Travel & Lounge, so check the label before you count on it. J.Jill sale is not final sale, which still makes it the safest place on this page to try a new size.

After that, the 40% on full-price clothing and sleep carries through Sunday, and it excludes clearance, so the two never overlap. If you are buying one marked-down piece, today is the day; if you are buying new-season stock, the week is yours.

Two things make it unusual. The 30% reaches markdowns, which most offers fence off. And the terms are dated, which Talbots did not do last week: this is the most clearly documented sale on the page, down to the cashmere exclusion. The two offers do not combine, so a top takes the 50% and everything else takes the 30%.

One headline number instead of a range, plus an extra 10% and free shipping under the code — read that as the extra coming off after the 60%, which puts the floor around 64%, not 70%. We read GFCYBER on Gap Factory’s own banner today and did not test it in a cart. No end date is published, and at this store events have been turning over weekly.

Half off everything, then an extra 20% on top, which works out to about 60% off the ticket rather than 70%. This is the factory line, made for the outlet channel, so compare it to Banana Republic Factory’s own prices rather than the mainline store’s. The banner names no code and no end date; “limited time” is all it says.

Friends & Family is the one event a year where the new-season leggings and jackets move at all, so if there is a specific piece you have been watching, this is its window. The banner does not print an end date and we are not going to guess one. For the sale rail, the up-to-60% markdowns are the better number on their own.

Up ten points since Saturday, with a new code: the extra 45% under EQFALL became an extra 55% under EQSTOCKUP. That makes it the deepest extra-off code on this page and still the deepest we can find for sizes 14 to 32. Read on ELOQUII’s own site today and not tested in a cart. No end date, and the code here has changed every week we have watched it.

What is left is the sale itself, marked on each product rather than promised in a banner — a jersey midi reading $63.99 against $160, for one. That is the kind of discount we trust most, because it is the price, not a code that may or may not work in the bag.
