10 Tips to Save More at a Discount Outlet Store

Discount outlet stores like Costless Wholesale can cut your household spending dramatically, but shoppers who save the most tend to follow a few simple habits. Here are ten of them.

1. Shop often, not just once a month

Closeout inventory changes every week. A quick visit every week or two lets you catch new arrivals before they sell out.

2. Buy it when you see it

Quantities are limited and many lots never come back. If a deal fits your needs and your budget, do not wait for next week.

3. Stock up on non-perishables

Paper goods, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, canned goods and personal care items keep for months. These are the categories where buying at up to 70% off adds up fastest.

4. Check dates on food

Closeout food is often perfectly good brand-name product. Just glance at the best-by date, as you would anywhere, and buy quantities you will actually use in time.

5. Know your regular prices

Keep a mental (or phone) list of what you usually pay for your top 10 household items. It makes a great deal easy to spot.

6. Look beyond groceries

Many shoppers come for snacks and leave with a sofa, a kitchen set or toys for the next birthday. Walk every aisle at least once.

7. Shop seasonal items early

Holiday and seasonal merchandise arrives ahead of the season and goes quickly. Back-to-school, Halloween and Christmas items are best bought as soon as they appear.

8. Inspect larger items before you buy

Some merchandise comes from customer returns. For electronics, appliances and furniture, take a moment to look the item over in the store and ask staff if you have questions.

9. Visit more than one location

Each of our stores in Orange, La Habra and Corona receives different lots. If one store is out of something, another may have it, so call ahead.

10. Follow the weekly deals

Check the weekly discounts on our website and follow us on social media (see our social wall) to see new arrivals as soon as they hit the floor.
