Kristine Asks: I’ve heard a lot about the Woodbury Commons Outlets located outside of New York City and it is suppose to be a designer mecca. Do you think I could find a deal on a high-end designer bag, like Chanel?

Kathryn Answers: It really depends on what you consider a deal. The Chanel outlet does carry handbags at a discount,  but your chances of finding an “it” bag is pretty slim and in my experience, the bags available are usually without the iconic interlocking “CC”.

But all is not lost at Woodbury… The Last Call Neiman Marcus outlet often sells designer bags- like Marc Jacobs, Prada, etc for up too 50% off retail price, there’s a pretty good Kate Spade and a Bottega Veneta outlet. The Gucci outlet carries handbags as well.

To increase your chances of scoring a great deal on a designer bag, shop during the week (avoid, if you can, the weekends) and make sure to head to Chelsea Premium Outlets (http://www.chelseapremiumoutlets.com), sign up for their VIP club, print out a coupon for a coupon book as well as print out exclusive VIP coupon deals.

A Couple of Memorial Day Thoughts

- Stores like Daffy’s and outlet malls like the nationwide Chelsea Premium Outlets are having big sales this weekend.  I heard the Saks outlet has a major coupon circulating around shopping circles.

- A big Memorial Day shout out to Rebecca, of the wonderful blog Space Between My Peers, for reviewing my book so quickly on her site. We may not always agree, but what’s life without a little variety.

- In regards to TBF on my space . . . My Myspace page is no different than the blog—just more info and a way to connect with my fellow shoppers. Plus my fashionable friend Sandra told me that I had to get a page. If Flava Flav can do it, so can I! Join if you like.
