Cheap threads on
the Web


OR BARGAIN hunters, a trip to an outlet mall can be exhilarating - and exhausting. Walk the length of some mammoth malls and you feel you've logged miles. Now on the Web, you can get some of the same deals (although not as much selection) without wearing out your dogs. Some sites worth a look:

Bluefly.com
Apparel, shoes and accessories, with housewares coming soon. The hook: deep discounts (up to 75%) and the ability to make your own catalog. You type in your size and favorite designers; it'll show you items that match. Some recent bargains: An Isaac Mizrahi sleeveless silk top - originally $440, discounted to $95 (matching pants: $95). A Diesel fitted denim jacket for $59.95, originally $128.

Outletmall.com
Men's and women's apparel, shoes, beauty products. The hook: The longer merchandise is on the site, the more prices drop. Some recent bargains: Polo Sport nylon jacket for men, originally $185, current discount: $108.23. Max Studio pedal pushers, originally $80, discounted prices: $28.81-$46.80 (depending on how long each pair had been listed).

CyberShop.com
Housewares, electronics, luggage, jewelry, toys and apparel. The hook: significant savings. A recent bargain: a Sak tote bag, marked down from $98 to $29.99.
