Clothing

Check out our favorites for clothing for the whole family. Everything is first quality unless we note there are seconds or flaws. Always check with the stores for their return policies. Some discounters do not allow returns, and exchanges only. Some discounters are selling seconds or clothing with minor flaws, so check your merchandise carefully. If the clothing is sold as "first quality" you should not find any flaws. Many discounters sell clothing that is one or two seasons "old." But today, with the slow economy, many discounters are selling current merchandise that the factories could not sell to department stores or high end retailers so these top label clothes find their way to discounters more quickly.

BUYER'S BRAND OUTLET ON PICO IN LOS ANGELES

Every once in a while we stumble on a small outlet with legitimate deals. Buyer's Brand Outlet is at 8646 West Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles, between La Cienega and Robertson, and it has a small parking lot. Call them at (310) 652-6363.

If you enjoy shopping, you will enjoy Buyer's Brand Outlet for its low overhead, bargain shopping environment. There are men's designer suits by Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren and Hugo Boss with department store labels sewn into the garments and these are now priced at only $69.95. Designer sport jackets are less, or course. There are also name brand shirts and ties.

Women will find designer clothes by BCBG, Lis Claiborne, INC priced as low at $10.95 each piece. You will also find fashions by Liz Claiborne, Michael Kors, Alfani, Kasper, Guess, DKNY and Rampage.

Now some important shopping tips. First, there is a small parking lot so avoid the usual rush to this outlet that happens around 5pm. Shop earlier in the day when the parking lot has plenty of spaces. Second, the outlet is open Sunday through Thursday; they close early on Friday, and the outlet is closed on Saturday.

You will find racks of merchandise direct from department stores as well as shipping boxes with designer fashions from department stores. Yes, suits and jackets are arranged by sizes -- but be prepared to spend some time hunting for your deals.

One more tip: they have a "store card" that offers an additional 5% discount at checkout. Ask for the "card" and if they don't have it-- ask for the extra 5% off. Tell them that I told you to ask for the extra discount.

SUSIE'S DEALS LIVES UP TO ITS NAME

Susie's Deals with more than 100 store locations in California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona is one of my long time favorites for family clothing. Everything at Susie's Deals is $5.99 or less. Most of the garments are simply priced at $5.99 and these garments include jeans, dresses and department store and mall clothing that retailed for $40 or more. Go to their web site www.susiesdeals.com where you will find free shipping on orders over $60, and all online purchases can be exchanged at any of the Susies Deals locations. For locations, check their web site or call 1-877-SUSIES-5. My favorite best buys at Susie's are top label cltohing with the labels removed or blacked out so customers won't try to return their $5.99 purchases at Susie's for much more money at the original stores.

Here is the video for Susie's deals for December 2009.

Below are more videos about Susie's Deals.

Susie's Deals opened a new store in the Fresno area, and as part of the grand opening celebration the chain started advertising its new fall inventory on local TV stations in the Fresno area. Here is that TV commercial and you can check out some of the new fall styles that are also available here in the Los Angeles and Southern California stores. We found department store labels on these fashions that are marked $5.99 for each piece, the traditional pricing for Susie's Deals.
