Savings checklist

Do these six things

  1. 1Join the center's VIP or loyalty club online the night before — the digital coupon wallet usually beats the printed booklet.
  2. 2Collect the coupon book at guest services before your first purchase, not after.
  3. 3Check the clearance section at the back of each store first; that is where genuine carryover markdowns sit.
  4. 4Photograph the tag of anything over $100 and compare the online price before paying.
  5. 5Ask staff which day new markdowns land — it is usually early in the week.
  6. 6Keep receipts together: outlet return windows are often shorter than mainline stores.
