Hunting Outlet Deals From Home
You might love going to outlet malls, but there are downsides—especially now, considering that you might spend more in gas to get there and back than on how much you might save on what you buy!
But just because you’re not physically going to an outlet store or mall doesn’t mean that you can’t hunt for great deals. Competition among a wide range of merchants and the convenience of buying leads to many deals online.
Centers Health Care has a look at four simple tips to find the best outlet deals online without having to leave your home.
- Start Your Search
Premium Outlets is a popular national brand of outlet malls, and they have an online version as well. This is a good place to start to see deals comparable to what might be available in your area. In addition, enter some of your favorite stores into a search engine like Google and add the word \"outlet\" after the store’s name.
- Check Prices Again Before Buying
Just because you see a price at an outlet doesn’t mean that it’s the lowest available. Amazon will often have low or discounted prices, and even running a search for the specific product you’re looking for might result in finding a lower price at a standard retailer.
- Check Return Policies
Some retailers allow you to return items for free at their physical stores, but others might require that you send it back and also pay for the shipping.
- Look for Discount Codes
In addition to the listed price on the site you’re about to buy from, take one more step to try and save a few bucks. Coupon sites like www.retailmenot.com stockpiles codes and offers from hundreds of sites online. Sometimes you can net significant savings, while other times you come up empty, but it never hurts to check.
