Next Exit, Woodbury Common Premium Outlets

The creator of the most amazing mega outlet malls has made me a true die-hard shopper south of the Canadian Border. I first discovered the Premium Outlets brand while in San Francisco. My obsession began with my first visit to the Gilroy Premium Outlets in the Bay Area, it was magical. With 145 Outlet stores, it was a mad dash against the clock to visit all those on my favorites list. Sadly, I was not able to complete my wish-list and have since then vowed to plan my visit ahead of time in order to make sure all the better shops are visited first.

Upon my return to Montreal, surely, I thought, there must be another such outlet mall on the East Coast. The winner was the 220 Outlet-filled Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, just over an hour drive North of NYC. I have gone back twice since first discovering it and fear it will become a regular bi-yearly trip, much to the chagrin of my bank account.

The 50-page VIP Coupon Book

For those planning on visiting any of the Premium Outlets malls, make sure to sign up for their VIP Club before-hand and printing up some on-line coupons, one of which entitles the club member to a free VIP Coupon Book with additional savings. This same VIP book is sold for $10 USD at the welcome center. I know, very sneaky!

My favorite - 10% on already reduced Longchamp goodies!

I bid you all happy trails, and hope you make it out during one of the special sales weekends, the deals are truly worth the long car ride.
