Pottery Barn Outlet stores are ideal for those who love the Pottery Barn look but want outlet prices.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

As of this writing, there are Pottery Barn Outlet stores in the following states: Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

  2. Step 2

    Make a list and a budget for your Pottery Barn Outlet store shopping trip. Make sure you write down everything you want to look for, so you don't miss anything once you get there.

  3. Step 3

    Browse the furniture and decor offered at the Pottery Barn Outlet Store. Look for good deals on marked-down furniture; checking carefully for flaws. Compare colors for the same room to each other to ensure a complementary decor.

  4. Step 4

    Check out the linens, curtains and home decor selection. Some of the best bargains are found on discontinued styles. Be sure to get extras in the pattern you like because they may be sold out next time you're out shopping.

    Pay for your Pottery Barn Outlet Store selections, first asking the store manager for a discount on any large items you are interested in. Mention that you are paying cash--it can't hurt to ask.

  • Stick to your budget by bringing cash and leaving your credit cards at home.
