I go to Woodbury commons outlet on a regular basis and not only myself but Sa's that I know from major department stores have mentioned that the discounts are better when the department stores do markdowns. I find the prices are much higher at designer outlets you have to know your sales price point. Believe me I have posted finds through out tpf threads that when I came across the same item at the outlets at a much higher price I just start to laugh. And yes I have sent pictures and prices back to the Sa at Woodbury commons.
