I like these outlets quite a bit, but I only go to them if I happen upon them on my way to somewhere else. I am just not a shopper! And, truth be told, I hate going west of 7th Avenue.
The Coach outlet has 40% off sales every so often, which makes their bags a bargain (if you're into that sort of thing).
There are three or four children's clothing stores that all offer pretty great deals on young kids' clothing.
My favorite place to go at this outlet mall is the Vans store. I have bought several pairs of Vans for my daughter for $10-$20 instead of twice that or more. DH even got a couple pairs at Buy 1, Get 1 1/2 off (and that is off the already discounted prices).
There is also a Pearl Izumi outlet there for you cycle enthusiasts. Even with the discounts, though, PI can be pricey.
Last Christmas, this place featured the nation's tallest Christmas tree. It was pretty cool to see!
SHOPPER ALERT: If you live in the EAST VALLEY, the developer of AZ Mills has already broken ground on the outlets right by Wild Horse Pass. We should have them by the Spring of 2013, if not sooner.
