The tactic that works here
Join the brand's loyalty programme in-store before you pay — sign-up offers of 10-20% on a first purchase are the only reliable discount in a flagship.
Discount levels are an editorial guide to a brand's typical market position and the usual gap to its outlet stores — not a quote for any specific item. Outlet stock is normally previous season or made-for-outlet.

What each discount level is actually worth
Enter the full-line ticket price you are looking at in Build-A-Bear Workshop at Mall of America, pick the brand, and see the cash saving at every discount level — with MN sales tax applied, because tax often moves the total more than one discount tier does.
Sales tax (MN)
Mid-rangeOutlet gap: 25-50% below full-line
Frequent promotions in-mall, so the outlet gap narrows. Clothing and footwear are fully exempt.

| 70% off | $60.00 | $64.74 | $151.06 |
On a $200 Build-A-Bear Workshop item, the outlet store's usual 25-50% takes you to about $151.06 — a saving of roughly $64.74 after tax. Below that, price-check Amazon before you buy: if the same model is under $151.06 there, neither the mall nor the outlet is the cheaper option.

No sales tax on clothing in Minnesota
Minnesota exempts clothing and footwear from sales tax entirely. On a full wardrobe shop that is a straight saving against almost every neighbouring state, and it is the single biggest reason Twin Cities retail draws coach traffic.
