Shopping at Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, Central Valley, New York State

[linolupo]

Located at some 500 km or 5 hours from Montreal, this immense outlet mall would be attractive for shoppers looking for a large variety of great brands at large discounts. As for any other outlet mall, some of the merchandise is a bit out of fashion, however I have seen plenty of stores that sell the same stuff you'd find at a regular mall or boutique. During my last trip to this mall this last November, I got myself a couple of Calvin Klein polo shirts for $25 each, a pair of jeans from the same store for $40, while my wife emptied a 70% discount rack at a Bebe boutique, getting for 140$ a ton of shirts, beachwear and shorts. Other deals noted were baby products, shoes, cosmetics.

As this mall is very popular with New Yorkers, as well as tourists, be ready to face parking problems (preferably arrive earlier in the morning) and quite a bit of crowds. For full information and driving directions, refer to: http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlets/outlet.asp?id=7.
