Saving Money at Outlet Malls

The next time you look in your closet and realize that it’s time to buy yourself a new wardrobe, start planning a trip to the nearest outlet mall. At an outlet mall, you will find name-brand stores selling their products directly to you at a reduced price. They receive their clothing and products straight from the factory and are located in remote locations, eliminating the need for a middle man and diminishing operating costs. This results in savings and deals much better than those you would ever find in regular retail stores or malls. A few things to consider before heading to the outlets:

- Look online for coupons or other “special deals” that you may be able to take advantage of to lower your prices even more.
- Shop out of season for the best deals (buy coats, jeans, sweaters, long-sleeved shirts in summer)
- Look for the bargains. It is not worth the trip if you buy items that are regularly priced. You will find deals that are up to 65% off already reduced prices.

The sheer size of an outlet mall is enough to attract you to it. The biggest centers literally have hundreds of stores from the highest quality manufacturers and brands. With so many store options, you have flexibility in choosing where you want to shop, which allows you to find the top prices and deals on any given day. At a regular mall you have to wait for the sales because there is a limited amount of stores. At an outlet mall, if one store doesn’t have the price you want, the one right next door to it surely will.
