Good advice for outlet shoppers

.
Outlet malls may seem like bargain heaven at first, but keep an eye for full-priced merchandise in disguise. Some outlet stores sell their products at full price. Find out how much the clothes would cost at a retail store before you buy them so you know exactly how much you’re saving.

Another trick to look for is “cut-ups.” Rather than selling discounted retail clothing, the outlet sells last year’s leftover fabric that’s been cut to look like new styles. It’s not the same product you would get at a retail store, but if you don’t mind, then go ahead and take advantage of the lower price.

Watch out for liquidators posing as outlets. Rather than selling the same clothes at reduced prices, liquidators sell discontinued or slightly damaged merchandise from several different companies. It’s basically the stuff the manufacturer couldn’t sell because no one wanted it. Make sure you’re buying a quality product before you get swept away by the price tag.



All the best,
