More than 120 years ago, Nordstrom opened the doors of its first store in Seattle, Washington, and this week, the department store plans to celebrate that anniversary with savings for everybody. The sale ends Sunday, Aug. 4, and the prices will go back up the following day.

Some home goods are so important that it's worth spending the extra money on top-tier luxury brands because they drastically improve quality of life — and retirees know that stress-free living often comes down to sleeping and eating.
