NY Adventures and beyond...: Tanger Outlets

One thing I like in this country is the fact that when something goes on sale, it’s really on sale. And I mean big discounts which could go as far as 70% of the original price. Where can you find such a great bargain! Every store has their own way of attracting consumers… buy 1 get 1, buy 1 get 2nd 50%, one-day sale, semi-annual sale, back to school sale, etc. I still think it’s better to take advantage of the sale during holidays and… shopping has to be in outlet stores.

Anyway, we went to Tanger Outlets on 8/30 (Labor Day was actually on 9/1) for our “balikbayan” (a Filipino citizen who has been continuously out of the Philippines for a period of at least 1 year from date of last arrival.) box. It’s actually kind of late already as we usually start on 7/4 (Independence Day). There were so many things to choose from (if I could just buy them all) that we didn’t go home till after almost 11 hours of shopping. I must admit though that the prices were not anymore as good as… maybe 4 years ago due to the economic downturn we’re experiencing right now. But despite that, you can’t stop people from compulsive shopping. I guess?!
