Today we're visiting the Toronto Outlets and if you don't know what an outlet is
what outlets are are shops brand name shops that traditionally held last season stock for the name
brands so if those stores go into that period they go on a sale they sell their stuff but they don't
finish that entire inventory things like an outlet is where they can send some of that stock that was
left over from last season that they want to get rid of so if you go to an outlet you're gonna find
things at a much cheaper rate now one of the myths that does exist around outlets is the fact that
they just sell last season things from retailers so what some retailers do because they can't
keep up inventory in an outlet store purely based off of things that did not sell from last season
stock at the retailers that we find at malls they will manufacture items specifically for the outlet
now what that means is they're gonna try and maybe make things a little cheaper just so they can fit
the price ranges of what you'd find things at an outlet for some stores do not take stock
from last season things at the stores in the mall and bring them to the outlet they purely just make
items for the outlet now the items are still going to be of a quality that the brand wants
to uphold some stores do produce items for the outlet but the material that they use is
the exact same material that they're gonna use in the items that go into their normal retail stores
and they'll say that the difference and as an example coach is one of those stores and they just
add less items or do a bit less on the things that they manufacture specifically for outlets
so if you look at the handbags maybe a handbag might not have an out out pocket and outside
pocket that some bags might have it might not have as many embellishments as you'd find in a
or on a bag that you would get at a retail store that is a coach store at the mall but when it
comes to the actual material that they are using on the items it's the exact same type of material
but they just try and make items that are going to be at a price point that makes sense for the thing
to be at the outlet but they also do take things from their retail store that didn't sell out
from last season and they put them at the outlet
now this is one of my favourite stores at the outlet for buying clothes for my kids
because I don't have to pay full retail price for things that they're gonna outgrow pretty quickly
or with their pants long pants in winter their clothes tend to tear very easily on their um
knees because they're always playing and it just doesn't make sense to pay retail price and when
we first got to Canada we were paying retail price and we just found the store at the outlet and it
just makes so much more sense and you can get rain boots at decreased prices and you can get
snow pants snow suits for the kids hats whatever you can think of snow boots you get them on sale
and it just makes much better sense because they're gonna stop wearing the shoes while
they still look very good they're gonna still be in great condition by the time they grow out
of it and you have to buy the next pair so this is definitely a store that I recommend you shop
if you have kids go to the outlets buy them stuff they're 30 off so all the prices that you see on
the actual tags on the clothes that is before the percentage that is written on the shelf is applied
so for example you see here there's 25 off but if you look at the actual shoe it says
30 dollars so you're gonna take 30 25 off that thirty dollars and when seasons change you can
buy sunglasses for your kids and this is the second pair that I'm getting for both of them
because they both lost them last year I don't know where they don't know where but it is
really one of those stores where you can get a lot of the things that you need for your kids
and it's been one of my faves i've continuously been shopping and will probably continue to shop
at the store for a lot of the items that i get for my boys you see they even have swimming swimming
stuff at very reasonable prices and there's percentages that you're gonna get off imagine
getting forty percent off a twenty dollar pant for kids so the government announced a lot down
um in the afternoon today so from midnight today shops are gonna be closed captioning not
available but you just can't come to the store you have to do curbs
online shopping and then you pick up things at the curb
that's a Starbucks you still need to have coffee when you're shopping for coffee lovers
as you can see there's all kinds of stores in here
even a food truck but it's closed hope you enjoyed coming to the outlet with me even though we went
to just two shops you know it is a pandemic and i'm not trying to be going to a number of shops
unnecessarily I will see you on the next video. Thank you for watching!
