As we approach the final days of June, this also means your $50 Saks credit for the first half of the year will expire soon. While you can put your credit toward more expensive items (such as footwear, clothing or luggage), it’s definitely possible to find items that are $50 or less. In this guide, we’ve pulled together 10 of our favorite Saks items available right now for under $50, available online or in stores. Of course, you can also use the credit toward more expensive items sold in stores or online.
