I enjoy poking around the LLBean Outlet. They've moved to a new pricing model in the last few years…read moreand I don't think the deals are as good as we used to get, but it's still cheaper. The prices on the items are normal retail prices and each rack will have the percentage off above it. Most of the clothes are 30% off the retail prices. If you look, you may find a rack with 50% off or more and they have specials on items they are looking to move. We have the LLBean MasterCard so we have points and can use the points at the store. That makes for some great shopping. Staff is always helpful.

The same way I enjoy outlet malls for their deep, deep discounts on designer clothing, I also love…read morebuying bed linens and other home textiles. We visited a NY outlet back in early March but were stumped to noticed there weren't any home stores and left us with the urge for 'home' outlet shopping. So on our drive south to Portland, ME from Bar Harbor, hubs and I decided to see this L.L. on Rt 1 in Ellsworth. I honestly think the men's clothing (more so than the women's) are a bit on the cool side so picked up a few casual tops for my husband since he's still working from home and some lightweight cargo pants. While I'm a proud owner of their heavy-duty canvas totes for the last umpteen years (I own 2 large ones), the clothes not so much. L.L. women's clothes aren't my style- and not to say anything wrong about it, but the clothes are more for a certain crowd. There are those duck boots and small wooden furniture on the floor also for sale. But I finally got my hands on a white-grey cotton sheet set and a down grey comforter that I've been wanting. As the cashier scans your items, you'll notice their original, jacked-up prices- so don't let it spook you the way it did to me as discounts are applied at the end. Once we paid, I didn't feel this was my doom-and-gloom outlet visit. Service was nice and respectful by the way.

The upstairs is a complete mess except for a couple booths. The hours online said they were to be open at 10. Don't go there right at opening because it probably won't be open when it says. I have been there multiple times at opening to grab an item I saw online and it's never open on time. I've also been there an hour before closing and no one was there and the doors were locked. The lady behind the counter was extremely rude and unfriendly and was yelling at other customers. I paid with a card and was charged more than I should have, but didn't notice it until I got home. The prices are okay for everyday junk. A few antiques scattered throughout a sea of mass produced items. It's okay if that's your thing I guess.
