Shopping the outlets is a great way to save money. Here are a few tips on saving even more money when outlet shopping.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Online Coupons. Check the website of the outlet shopping center where you plan to shop. Most of the outlet malls have valuable coupons on line.

  2. Step 2

    Purchase Coupon Books. Many outlet malls have an information desk where they sell books of coupons at a very cheap price. The book typically pays for itself after your first buy. Be sure to stop at the desk BEFORE you start your shopping!

  3. Step 3

    Twins discounts. Many of the children's shops in outlet malls offer discounts for twins, triplets and higher multiples. Some of the shops even offer these discounts to the grandparents of twins. Be sure to ask at every store before purchasing. Speak to the manager if the sales person is unaware of a discount.

  4. Step 4

    Clearance racks. These deals are often great buys on luxury brands such as Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. Be sure to go directly to the back of the store before even looking at the regular priced merchandise!

  5. Step 5

    Pay with cash! Paying with cash will ensure that you don't pay added credit card financing fees that would reverse your savings from outlet shopping.

  6. Step 6

    Make a list and stick to it. Its easy to get carried away when outlet shopping as there are bargains everywhere!

  7. Step 7

    Avoid staying at a hotel unless sharing with others. Although spending the night is a lovely idea, you are throwing your savings out the window with this unnecessary expense.

  8. Step 8

    Buy last season merchandise. These items are sure to have a specially priced ticket.

Tips & Warnings
