Hello, all! I've been lurking for a few weeks and have learned a lot from you guys (and now much buy my first bag in almost a YEAR (!!!) because of you.
I'm going to the outlet in Iowa this weekend- I've never been to an outlet, I've just either bought my bags at a Coach store or a department store. I've read the differing opinions on the Iowa outlet, but it's the only one close to me, so I don't have much choice.
Anyway, I read the outlet thread, but I still have some questions.
1) Can anyone explain what the sales are like? I have the coupon, but sometimes I see people talk about things being 30 or 50% off- is it the entire store, or certain tables? Does it vary by store or does it tend to be roughly the same at every store?
2) What are you seeing at the outlets right now? Again, does this vary or is it the same for most outlets? I'd like to see pics of the things that will likely be there so I can do some thinking before I get in the store and lose my mind.
3) Nosy question, but what have you bought lately, and what were the prices? It's a 2 hour drive, but I'd like to do some other shopping anyway...but if the savings aren't much I might as well just look at the Coach store here.
Thanks for your patience with a newbie.
