Shopping at Outlet Stores



Many individuals think there are great savings at outlet stores and malls. Here are a few helpful tips to search for those special deals.



1. Go to the back of the store first. Look for the clearance rack. The items there might be out of season or a year behind in style. there are deals there, if you can find what you are looking for.



2. Outlet items have dots on the label. This means this item was made just for outlets.



3. Don't go by the bright colored tag for a mark down. Green, pink, red etc. Always compare the actual cost to the sales cost.



4. Check for coupons for both the store and the manufacturer. Some individuals just get them from a paper. Check on line aand print up the coupons.



5. read and understand the coupon completely. There are time and product restrictions.



6. Look for defects. Ask the store clerk if there can be more of a savings on damaged goods.



7. Buy out of season. Many stores do not want to store out of style and season items.



8. Ask the clerk when will your next sale be on certain items.



9. Finally, get on the mailing list. Stores and manufacturers often send out coupons.



Happy shopping.
