SHOPPING AT OUTLETS WHILE ON VACATION

Shopping has become one of the most popular activities for travelers, who often visit outlet malls along the way.

Here are tips for traveling and stopping at outlets:

If you see something you really like, buy it.

Remember that you won't be nearby to return anything. Outlets often have strict return policies.

Get on store mailing lists.

Many outlets hold sidewalk sales in August and September.

Ask if the store has mail-order. Most outlets do not, but some may be able to mail your merchandise if you live far away.

The new fifth edition of "The Joy of Outlet Shopping," is $5.95 plus $1.50 for postage and handling. It can be ordered by credit card by calling (800) 344-6397; or sending a check to JOY, P.O. Box 17129, Dept. PJ5, Clearwater, Fla. 34622-0129.
