Stores Sell People Things Rid Finding Bargain Shopping

People who want to save money while shopping have many "options" (choices) in the United States. Outlet malls, for example, are large buildings with many stores that sell things that are cheaper than usual, either because they didn't sell well in regular stores or because they have "flaws" (small problems). "Factory stores" are stores that sell everything made for one specific brand. Factory store prices are usually much cheaper than prices for the same products at regular stores, where the items are sold "alongside" (next to) other brands.

Other people like to go to "discount stores." These stores don't always have the same products. Instead, the "store buyers" (store employees who buy things to sell in the stores) look for good bargains and then buy those items in "large volumes" (with many pieces of the same thing) to sell them to customers inexpensively. It can be difficult to find what you are looking for in a discount store, but sometimes it is a good idea to go there and see what is available for sale.

"Secondhand stores" offer inexpensive clothing, jewelry, and furniture that have already been used by other people. Sometimes secondhand goods are in poor condition, but other times they are almost new. This is especially true in wealthy neighborhoods, where people sometimes use things only two or three times before getting rid of them.

Finally, many stores have "sample sales" when they want to get rid of products that they no longer plan to sell. For example, many clothing stores display a sample on a "mannequin" (a statue that is used to display clothing) and then, when that item is no longer for sale, want to get rid of the sample. They do this through a sample sale, offering it at a reduced price.
