Everyone Loves Outlet Shopping!
Nowadays an outlet mall, or outlet center, or factory outlet store, is much like a shopping mall with many stores gathered in the same place, for example store like Coach Outlets, GAP factory outlet stores, Pottery Barn Outlet, Nike outlet and many more. Outlet Malls first started as factory outlets. The manufacturer open an outlet, most of the time outside the city, to sell inventory. These factory outlets were usually pretty basic stores. But things have changed. The biggest chains are Tanger Outlet Centers, Prime Outlets and Premium Outlets.
PLAN AHEAD
Know what you're looking for. Make a plan before you go, even if you don't write it down. Some outlet malls are huge, and with a plan, you know which stores you need to visit.Usually the best deal you can get, is to buy out of season. I know, this is hard. It's much more fun to get something you can use right away. But if you really want the bargain, you need to think ahead and think quality. Make a mental note of the stores you want to make sure to check out. New InStyle Look of the Day
COMFORT FIRST!
Walking shoes and comfortable clothing is an absolute must. If you're planning on trying on clothes, avoid blouses with lots of buttons. I prefer using my fannie pack for serious bargain shopping, or my bag with a long shoulder strap. Hands free is definitely the way to go.Bring your own socks if you're planning on buying shoes, and wear sensible shoes for shopping - that means comfortable for walking AND easy to get on and off.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Eat before you go if at all possible. Carry a nutrition bar, or nuts, in your bag.Planning to stay for the day - bring lunch if you're on a budget, or want to stay on your diet. The serious bargain shopper doesn't want to get stuck in line in the food court. Pack a cooler and leave it in the car. Carry a water bottle with you.
Great Stuff for Shoppers
HOLD ON TO YOUR HAT!
Once you find a great bargain, hold on to it, even if you are not sure if you're actually going to purchase the bargain or not. Everyone who's lost a great find in a sale due to indecision knows exactly what I'm talking about. Possession is always key. CASH AND CARRY
Be prepared for everything. Take cash along to the outlet mall if you can, credit cards might not be accepted in the store with the best deal. And as you know, sometimes the card machines can just simply be difficult and not want to connect. It can seal the deal and save the day just have a few extra dollar bills tucked away in your pocket. NOTE TO SELF!
The human brain can only hold seven things in conscious memory at a time. No wonder I can't live without lists or sticky notes!
