Store Secrets
9 Ways to Save at Lululemon
You’re living that yoga-pants-all-day lifestyle and loving it. There’s no shame in your fashion game, so you might as well get some more fabulous athleisure pieces for your growing collection. If shopping at Lululemon is your guilty pleasure, you know your wallet can quickly take a hit. (Those sports bras add up!) Fortunately, you can get all the stretchy pants and flattering tops you want without busting your budget by following a few of our savvy Lululemon shopping tips.
1. Always Use Rakuten
2. Pay Over Time
Planning to scoop up a lot of pricey athletic wear during your next online shopping spree? Take advantage of Klarna or Afterpay through Lululemon, and you can buy now and pay later in four easy payments. There are no additional fees, as long as you pay on time. It’s a smart way to avoid sticker shock and plan your upcoming budget.
3. Get Free Hemming and Repairs
Lululemon offers free hemming, so there’s no need to take your favorite new addition to a pricey tailor. (That’s one savvy way to save!) Plus, the store may even offer complimentary repairs on some previously worn items, meaning you could lengthen the lifespan of your favorite Lululemon pieces.
4. Price Matching From Store to Store
Lululemon doesn’t offer traditional price adjustments when items go on sale, so you’re out of luck if you bought something expensive that got marked down the next day. However, if you buy something in one store and then find it at a lower price in another Lululemon location (or online), they will refund you for the difference.
5. Shop the We Made Too Much Section
Thursday morning is the day to visit Lululemon.com. That’s when new items are added to the We Made Too Much overstock section of the site. Styles are added weekly, so check back regularly for new discounted additions.
6. Find an Outlet
You can find some of last season’s hottest Lululemon items (plus a few current staples) discounted by 40% or more at one of the 19 Lululemon outlet locations in the U.S. It’s a can’t-miss opportunity for a “Lemon head” like you, so hit it up if you come across one!
7. We Made Too Much
As the name suggests, Lululemon’s We Made Too Much section is for when they have too much inventory. You can find a ton of great items at a sweet discount. Do keep in mind that all sales are final.
8. Frontline Discounts
Doctors and nurses who work in hospitals, emergency first responders, veterans and military members and their spouses get a 25% discount at Lululemon stores. Don’t forget to bring the relevant forms of identification, and note that this policy is subject to change.
9. Enjoy Free Shipping
Lululemon offers free shipping on all orders, with no minimum required. Returns are free too.
Whether you’re in the market for sports bras, workout gear, leggings or stylish athleisure pieces, Lululemon has you covered. You can feel good knowing you shopped smarter at Lululemon with Rakuten. Happy shopping, Lulu lovers!
