Black Friday outlet shopping

Chelsea Premium Outlets has posted their after-Thanksgiving sales/specials. They've also posted special additional parking information if necessary. (For instance, at Woodbury Common, it's very necessary).

Tanger Outlets also has their deals online, as does Prime Outlets.

Tip: most outlets throw the doors open at the stroke of midnight, so jostling for parking at 11PM could be the most migraine-inducing thing you ever do. Some seasoned shoppers have advised me that most of these women can only sustain a few hours of shopping before the turkey does them in. What does this mean for you? Show up at 4 or 5AM and get all the door-buster deals without the nerve-busting crowds.

Looking at the Woodbury promotions, I would definitely hit up: Giuseppe Zanotti, Chloe, Cole Haan, Catherine Malandrino, Hudson Jeans, Movado, Carolina Herrera, True Religion, Le Creuset, Zegna, LeSportsac (free bag!), Tommy Bahama, Tod's, Puma, Saks Off 5th, and Neiman Marcus Last Call. They seem to have the best deals/discounts.
