Smart way to spend less

.
Think you can’t find fine China at outlet stores? Think again. Mikasa, Lenox, Noritake, Fitz&Floyd, and Royal Doulton are just a few famous brand names with outlet stores around the country.

You can save anywhere from 10 to 80 percent off retail by shopping at these factory outlets. What’s more, you can buy a lot more than China at an outlet center. Make the most of your trip by:

* Checking every piece of china for chips, cracks, and other defects.
* Asking about the return policy, especially if you’re buying it for someone else.
* Making a list of must-have items, along with a budget.
* Wearing a fanny pack instead of carrying a handbag to free you up for handling china.



All the best,



Timben
