Orlando Outlet Stores 

There are many outlet locations in Orlando and is a very popular way to shop as there are some big savings to be had. Some of the more popular locations are: Orlando Premium Outlets, Prime One Outlets, Lake Buena Vista Outlet Mall and Festival Bay.

Premium Outlets Mall - Vineland Road.
It is situated on Vineland Road you can get to it by going south on International Drive or by turning off the I4 at the Lake Buena Vista exit and turning onto Vineland road. The outlets are visible from the I4 itself. There are 110 stores, some better than others all with great savings. Some of the brands are Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Nike, Adidas, Puma, Calvin Klien, Hugo Boss, Versace and Armani plus many more.

The Ralph Lauren shop along with most of them, tend to sell last seasons stock. The savings are very good but can still be pricey. The Timberland shop is great for shoes and boots, not so good for clothing. Nike have a large store here and it has 100's of styles of trainers/sneakers to choose from. Though you can sometimes get a better deal with the Reebok shop who almost always have the offer of "Buy 2 pairs get the third pair free or buy one pair and get the second pair half price." Plus if you look out for a coupon you can get 10% or 15% off your entire purchase including the sale items. So you can save quite a bit. There are several shops with some wonderful kids clothing. Such as Osh Kosh & Oililly where you can get some excellent bargains.  

Another thing to think about is joining there "VIP Shopper Club" it's free to join and you can print more coupons for additional savings. The link is here. Also if you are over 50 years of age, on Tuesdays you can show your passport or ID and receive an additional 10% off your purchases in participating stores.
