Outlet shopping

Outlet discounts average only about 30% off the full price. To get really good deals, buy only out-of-season items and pay close attention to tags. An item categorized "first quality" is equivalent to one you would find in a regular store; otherwise, the garment was manufactured specifically for the outlet and most likely is of inferior quality. Practicing this behavior, you avoid surprises, such as finding the same item on sale at the mall for a price cheaper than what you have paid at the outlet.
