Remember everthing found in these shops is previous seasons stock, you might think you are getting a great deal when in fact sometimes your not....
Can't really see the problem of clothes being 'last year'. Are people that shallow (and sad) that they would know if clothes were from the current year or not??
Personally I think th outlet store is a convenient and relaxing place to shop. I would however totally agree that it needs a few more shops...
my point being is that you will more than likely get the exact same savings or ever better in the main stores themselves if you waited for the sales...
