Do you ever shop at outlet malls? What are your favorite outlet malls and stores?
I love shopping at outlet malls; however, I don't have an outlet mall close to me. I'm excited when I get a chance to shop at one. My favorites are the Louisiana Boardwalk in Shreveport, LA and the Gilroy Outlet Mall in Gilroy, CA. The closest outlet mall to me that I know of is the Grapevine Mills Mall in Grapevine, TX but I don't really like it.
My favorite outlet stores are Fossil, Sanrio, Nike, and Wilson's Leather.

I haven't shopped at an outlet store since last summer. I have several outlet malls that are just less than an hours drive from me. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I'll be able to go up there and do a little shopping. My favorite outlet store is this huge scrapbooking store. They have so many things for so cheap. I always go up there to stock up on my scrapbooking supplies.

First of all, I LOVE your avatar. Getting back to business, yes, love outlet malls. I used to have one about 45 minutes away from where I live, until a few years ago a tornado took the whole mall out. No one felt like rebuilding.
I LOVE the mall at Grapevine Mills. There is a whole lot of different stores and restaurants there that aren't located other places. Now, on my way into Texas from Oklahoma, there is an outdoor outlet mall, and I don't like that one at all.
Branson, Missouri has several as well. If you know which ones to go to then you can find a lot of stuff you need or want. Too bad those two words don't mean the same thing. It's also fun to get the coupon booklet most outlet malls have. You can save a lot of money, thereby allowing yourself to get more stuff. Too bad I'm on a budget!

I love getting the coupon booklets when I go to outlet malls. They usually have pretty good coupons in them. I'd love to be able to go to Branson, Missouri to do some sight seeing and shopping.
I used to like Grapevine Mills but I had some bad experiences the last time I went there. I agree it has a lot of stores and restaurants that aren't located other places.

I don't usually shop at outlet stores. I think that when you buy a brand name that is just what you are doing buying a name. I don't mind buying clothes that are cheap and don't carry a label. There is a store that I found that has cheap clothes. The store is Called Formans Mills. This shop has great prices. I can't afford to pay $40.00 for a pair of pants or one top. I like to go to Walmart and pay $5.00 for a top. I have gotten a few buys at outlets before but very few.

I like going to outlet malls too, but there aren't really any close to me either. Sometimes my mom and my sister and I have a little girls day and we'll take a trip to an outlet mall and just walk around and shop all day. I haven't been to one in awhile, but they do usually have really good deals.

I absolutely LOVE outlet malls! But the closest one is 1 hour away by car! So I only go there occasionally as a special treat. I guess it's better that way, since I tend to spend too much money at outlets, so it's best to keep my visits there in moderation, hahaha! PacSun is my favorite store, and I don't have one nearby, only at the outlet. So I REALLY go crazy! I also like Calvin Klein, Zumiez, Journeys, Rue21, and Claire's! The outlet I go to is called Chicago Premium Outlets in Aurora, Illinois.
