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.
