Did you know that there is no sales tax in Oregon State? Yes, ladies and gents. It’s time to start curating a trip to Oregon State where there isn’t sales tax so you can start saving even more of your hard-earned shopping cash.
Since the American Dollar has been horrendous to buy, I wanted to keep an eye on my spending. I checked out the shopping in downtown Portland; although there were some awesome things to buy – I wanted to stretch my dollar as far as I could.
After doing some research I found that Woodburn Premium Outlets® in Woodburn, Oregon would be able to help me out with my goal. No sales tax coupled with 60% – 70% off mark downs was delectable for my pocketbook.
When I arrived to the open air beautiful sprawling layout that is Woodburn Premium Outlets® I knew I made the right decision. The space was easy to navigate, it held shops I wanted to shop in, there were no long queues of people waiting to make purchases and there were deals to be had.
Think of these 110 Outlet Stores and how they could help you out with your Black Friday Shopping:
Adidas, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Cole Haan, Eddie Bauer, Fossil, Gap, J.Crew, Max Studio, Nautica, Nike, The North Face, Polo Ralph Lauren, Puma, Tommy Hilfiger, Tumi, and more.
As always as you prep for your shopping day I encourage you to pick up a Woodburn Premium Outlets® VIP Coupon Book from the Management Office if you are an AAA member. This Coupon Book will make your American dollar go even further.
For example, in my Woodburn Premium Outlets® VIP Coupon Book I had Levi’s Outlet Store savings of $15 off purchase of $100 or more and $30 off purchase of $200 or more. I also found a Cole Haan $50 off purchase of $250 or more and a J.Crew 10% off purchase of $100 or more. In total there are over 85 merchants participating in the Woodburn Premium Outlets® VIP Coupon Book – all ready to knock off more money off their wares.
The Woodburn Premium Outlets® VIP Coupon Book has a nice mix of high-end merchants to middle of the road merchants. Keeping in mind the goal of saving cash – when you shop during Black Friday keep your Woodburn Premium Outlets® VIP Coupon Book close at hand. Coupled with the no sales tax – you could be saving close to 80% off your total purchases. That would never happen in downtown Portland, Oregon.
In my store hunt I was able to pick up 3 pairs of Levi’s Jeans, a t-shirt and some accessories for all under $60 using my coupon booklet and saving on the no sales tax. The total worth of the goods was $200 retail. That was a huge win.
Last Fall, when I visited Woodburn Premium Outlets® sister, Woobury Common Premium Outlets® in Central Valley, New York; I discovered a new-found love affair with Under Armour. With our Canadian winters getting even worse – Under Armour on sale is a great investment.
As I ploughed through the sales rack I found a fleece, a hoodie, some yoga stretch pants and some comfy work out tees. Again using the Woodburn Premium Outlets® VIP Coupon Book and saving on the no sales tax I walked away with goods for a total of $90. The total worth of the goods was $300 retail. Another win.
I appreciated the fact that we were outside Portland and it was a tad quieter walking around Woodburn Premium Outlets®. Similar to that of Woodburn’s sister Outlets: Woodbury Common Premium Outlets® (in New York), Chicago Premium Outlets® and Boston Premium Outlets® – Woodburn Premium Outlets® was awesome to stroll in and out of shops. The cool crisp air, fall colours and a no stress to shopping ambiance added to my shopping vigour.
The shops were endless and easy to navigate. I would encourage you to pick up a map before you start your day and circle the shops you would like to check out. This will give you an idea on time and also keep an eye on where you want to spend your money the most.
If you are looking for break points to leave your partner and the kids or need a respite from all that shopping there are some great food options on site. From the cheerful cafes and sit down eateries – again Woodburn Premium Outlets® has you covered. Again, all affordably priced.
Lastly, I encourage you to get to Woodburn Premium Outlets® early in the day. This way you can get a feel of the space and as I mentioned before start some map pre-planning. It will save you time and you will capture all of your shopping needs.
Keep this Checklist handy before you leave for Woodburn Premium Outlets®:
