The famed department store has been hit hard by the Corona virus pandemic, and it's not alone.

Department stores across the country have seen their sales dry up in the past month.

Even before the pandemic hit, many of those stores were already struggling.

Some experts expect to see stores close across the country.

This is what Black Friday normally looks like the day after Thanksgiving.

But there's another black Friday happening in the midst of the pandemic.

Retailers are offering blockbuster online sales since no one shopping in stores.

The Wall Street Journal calls it black Friday in April.

Stores are trying desperately to do whatever they can salvage sales at this time.

Department stores like Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Saks and Nordstrom are just sitting on tons of spring and summer merchandise, and that's where the online deals are.

For people looking for things that department stores right now, I would really recommend spring apparel and athletic apparel and footwear.

That's where the better discounts are going to be right now.

These animal print bootees were originally $79.

They're on sale at Macy's for $19.33 75% off stores are also offering relaxed return policies and free shipping.

Definitely take a look to see what your favorite designer brand is offering because you might be surprised you might find a really good discount being made available to you when it otherwise wouldn't be.

But even with the big sales, many consumers who have lost their jobs during the pandemic crisis are understandably reluctant to spend.

People just aren't buying clothing right now.

 This is a discretionary purchase, all right?
