Are the you pay prices any cheaper since they di this?

@jax1  It depends on what you're looking for.  If you are interested in clothing, it's usually a very reasonable price.  I personally think it's a cheaper price than before with the percentages, but their dressing rooms are closed.  So, unless you live close by or plan on going back within 30 days for a return, you can't try anything on.  

It's also 'hit or miss' there.  I found some very good bargains,  but some same things sold at the outlet can also be found online in the 'clearance' prices or 'as is' prices for the same amount or nearly the same amount.  So, it depends on what you consider a 'bargain.'  

Personally, I stay away from anything electrical, mechanical, or battery operated because I don't live close to the outlet.  If I get it home and it doesn't work, I'm stuck with it.

Are the you pay prices any cheaper than beore. I know they used to be 

around 5 dollars cheaper than regular price and that is not much savings

without the percentage!!

Thanks

I'm visiting my daughter in Sarasota later this month and she told me that we can go to one around there......

Never been to one....

There is an HSN outlet down the road from me here in Tampa. It's next door to a Hobby Lobby. I'm frequently in HL picking up items but, in the 5 years I've lived here, I've yet to see a single customer walk into the HSN outlet. Always looks deserted. QVC outlets may be different.

Yes, I remember that well, got so many bargains. I was there this pass weekend.. there are no more extra discounts on departments or monthly flyers, just you pay prices.  The shelves were almost bare, did find a few things, but nothing like it use to be. My friend that came with me walked out after 10 minutes. I usually go often, about an hr from me. After this weekend I will probably only go if I'm passing thru the area. I think between covid, low sales, no help, and the general condition of this country has had an effect on retail.

I used to make a point of going to the Lancaster outlet every July because it was Customer Appreciation Month.  

The line to get in was very long and when they opened the door it was a mad rush to grab what you could and sort through it later.

I remember $5.00 pants, $20.00 boots no matter what the original price was.  

I also liked the store before the remodel.  Yes, it was dusty and cluttered, but I didn't  mind digging and picking my way through piles of stuff for the one treasure I couldn't pass up.  Most people I know don't like to shop that way, but it was the thrill of the hunt for me.

I would go to the Lancaster one with my mom and friends. I found a Susan Graver fleece coat one day for $16, and I still have it. I purchased quite a few things over the years.

Now I've been finding QVC clothing here and there at Gabe's (Gabriel Brothers). I bought a Logo cardigan for under $20, still looked brand new. And Saturday I found a Lisa Rinna duster at a consignment shop down the street from me for $26.99, in great condition.

Yes.  Great prices all the time but I have found that there is much less good quality merchandise and at times the shelves are not as full as they once were.
