.....the big one's like Macy's, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, etc. [ includes all the ones that are now defunct like Gimbel's, Abraham & Strauss, Wanamaker's, etc....
.....aside from healthy/beauty/cosmetic products that are only sold through them like fragrances, don't think I ever have regularly purchases from them, maybe once in awhile when a good deal came along.......

Our Macy's isn't that large so, yes if there's a good deal. My wife can't pass-up a good bargain...

Your title says "EVER"; then, in the body, you change to "REGULARLY". BIG difference. Decades ago, it was not unusual for me to shop in "large department stores". It's been years since I have done so but, if I saw a killer deal on an item I needed ~ wanted, I would not hesitate to shop at a large department store.

I put never, but not for the reason you list - the closest department store is 40 miles away.

Generally only the "final clearance" rack - Macys is the worst for marking stuff up so that they can put it on sale. You really need to be on top of the "real" price of stuff to avoid paying way more than you should if you shop there.

Yes. Biggest one I shop at is Amazon. Newegg is another.
I'm not sure why shopping at Amazon makes you rich.

Why does shopping at a department store presumptively make one rich?
I hit Macy's/Penny's/Nordstrom a few times a year when I need a nice shirt or tie or belt or cologne and I'll occasionally buy luggage or something for the kitchen from a department store when I catch a sale.
