    No sales tax on clothing and footwear in New Jersey

    New Jersey exempts most clothing and footwear from sales tax, which is why New York shoppers cross the river for big-ticket apparel. Accessories, handbags and equipment are still taxable.

    Macy's One Day Sale and coupon stacking

    Macy's runs One Day Sale weekends roughly monthly, and the 'extra 20% off' wallet coupon usually stacks on sale prices in apparel while excluding cosmetics and most designer brands. Clearance racks at the back move to a further percentage off at the end of each month.

    Saks runs a stepped designer sale in the same windows as Neiman, then moves residual stock to OFF 5TH, where it lands another 20-40% lower. Buying the same piece at OFF 5TH a season later is the cheapest legitimate route to boutique product.

Calendar

Events and sale windows at American Dream

What this kind of center runs every year, and whether it is a genuine markdown or programming that fills the center court.

  1. The Friday after Thanksgiving

    Black Friday weekend and midnight openings

    Extended hours from the early hours, door-buster pricing at the anchors and the year's largest single day of promotional depth. The first two hours carry the doorbuster stock; after that the offers are the same ones running online.

  2. 26 December to mid-January

    After-Christmas clearance

    The deepest genuine markdowns of the year: winter apparel, holiday homeware and gift sets clear at 50-70% while gift-card balances are being spent. Sizes thin out fast after the first weekend.

  3. Mid-February and late May

    Presidents' Day and Memorial Day promotions

    Anchor-led three-day sale events, strongest on mattresses, homeware, outerwear clearance and spring apparel launches at introductory pricing.

  4. Late July to early September

    Back-to-school season

    Kids' apparel, footwear and tech promotions run for six weeks, and in tax-holiday states the exemption stacks on top of retailer discounts.

  5. Mid-November to 24 December

    Santa photo sets and holiday programming

    Free entertainment programming that fills center courts — photo sets, choirs, tree lightings. Book photo slots online; walk-up queues run to hours at weekends.

In the news

American Dream news

Dated coverage of this center and the wider shopping market it sits in, each entry linking straight to the publisher.

Retail trend

Value fashion moves into A-grade malls, narrowing the outlet gap

Primark at Mall of America and Uniqlo at Aventura put genuine value pricing inside flagship full-line malls. On basics, an in-mall value anchor can now beat an outlet rail once you price the drive — the outlet advantage is concentrating in branded fashion and footwear.

Retail trend

Collectibles retailers are taking mall space that fashion vacated

Pop Mart and comparable collectibles operators appear in new-lease announcements at King of Prussia, Ala Moana and elsewhere this year. These formats hold price and rarely discount, so they lift footfall without adding savings.

Saving calculator

What each discount level is actually worth

Enter the full-line ticket price you are looking at in American Dream, pick the brand, and see the cash saving at every discount level — with NJ sales tax applied, because tax often moves the total more than one discount tier does.

Sales tax (NJ)
Mid-rangeOutlet gap: 25-50% below full-line

Frequent promotions in-mall, so the outlet gap narrows. Most clothing and footwear are exempt.

60% off$80.00$85.28$127.92
70% off$60.00$63.96$149.24

On a $200 H&M item, the outlet store's usual 25-50% takes you to about $149.24 — a saving of roughly $63.96 after tax. Below that, price-check Amazon before you buy: if the same model is under $149.24 there, neither the mall nor the outlet is the cheaper option.
