outlet shopping
Bargain brand stores
Outlet shopping is buying goods at stores that sell merchandise at reduced prices, typically brand-name items that are overstocked, discontinued, or made specifically for discount sale.
Outlet stores often cluster in outlet malls located outside major cities: We drove an hour for some outlet shopping.
The discounts vary—some items are genuinely marked down, others are lower-quality versions produced for outlet channels.
