Lindsay: The Nordstrom Sale posts starting early (as of June 17) and telling people to open the Nordstrom card (bad advice to suggest people get in debt to shop a sale early)

Christine and Lindsay both shop the sale and use the credit card, but feel talking about it a month early is overkill.

The Nordstrom sale begins on July 12th. Will you be shopping it?
