Here is where
we tell you about popular outlet stores and liquidators where you will find quality merchandise at discounted prices.
Many outlets and liquidators are selling department store and club store goods. They might be a season old, or a year
old, but you will always find sharply discounted prices. Remember to ask about the return policies of these stores.
Some outlets will allow returns while others will not. Also ask about the quality of the good being sold-- are they
first quality or seconds with slight flaws. Perhaps the shipping boxes or packaging was damaged. Always compare
prices.
Please see our category page called "Discounters, Outlets in Orange County" as well as our pages called "Computers" and "Electronics" and "Pottery" and "Clothing" for some of the best buys from our latest TV shows. We have some other outlets and discounters in other categories
here on our web site.
3-B SELLS CLOTHING AT 99-CENTS PER GARMENT
Update January 4, 2012 3-B is the name of a company that liquidators department store
returns, factory overproduction, merchandise from other stores and merchandise from other liquidators and outlets in Huntington
Park. And yes, every garment is sold at 99-cents each. You will find name brand clothing including jackets, skirts,
women's fashions, kids fashions, men's clothing, even major brand name jeans. You'll never know what will come onto
the selling floor next at 3-B. Look for the store with all of the 99-Cents Clothing signs and they are open every day
of the year -- even holidays. Sorry-- no phone number to call because they're too busy helping customers to take phone
calls. Check the clothing for tiny flaws from department store dressing rooms but all the clothing is new. And
expect to see clothing that might be a few seasons or a year old.

THERE IS A JEWELRY DISCOUNTER JUST A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM
YOUR HOUSE
Update October 31, 2011 We are getting close to
one of the busiest times of the year for buying jewelry -- the year-end holiday shopping season with Christmas, Hannukah and
Kwanza. And this is the time of year when some of the most prized gifts include diamond and gold jewelry and watches.
Many of us will make the trek to an outlet mall to save at outlets selling diamonds and gold jewelry and watches. But
most outlet malls are in the suburbs and you often have to drive an hour and spend at least half a day to look around.
And then you might find the prices aren't as low as you expect because in those big, fancy outlet malls the rents paid by
the outlets can be high and those costs have to be passed along in the price tags.
So,
you might want to check those smaller outlets in your neighborhood selling diamonds and gold jewelry and watches. Now,
you might be saying to yourself what outlets? I'm talking about pawn shops. They are all over Southern California
and in some of the finest neighborhoods including Beverly Hills and they are all loaded with diamonds and gold jewelry and
watches that are for sale.
Sometimes you will find brand new diamond and gold jewelry
and brand new watches that were never worn. But most of the time you will find older pieces which may be described as
"classic pieces" and there is nothing wrong with classic diamonds or classic gold and there is certainly nothing
wrong with some classic watches which can have a high collector value.
And let's
be honest about something here: there is no such thing as old gold or old diamonds because all diamonds
are millions of years old and all gold is millions of years old. But if you don't like the classic setting that a diamond
is in, pawn shops can sell you just the diamond or even reset the diamond for you into a contemporary setting. Gold
jewelry can be polished to look brand new. And there is nothing wrong buying a classic Rolex watch.
And the best part of buying classic diamond and gold jewelry in a pawn shop, and buying classic watches,
is that you really can save money. But do shop around because prices will vary among pawn shops. You might find
that a particular older Rolex might have a different price in a Pasadena pawn shop and a Beverly Hills pawn shop. I'm
not saying which shop will have the lower price -- that's something you'll have to find out yourself. Please check our
page for Pawn Shop Deals / Loans.
BULLDOG LIQUIDATORS
IN CHATSWORTH
If you love shopping
-- and I mean hunting and finding the best deals before others do -- then you'll just love Bulldog Liquidators at 8933 Winnetka Avenue in Chatsworth. Make Bulldog Liquidators one
of your regular stops. Call them at (818) 407-1293 but you'll be better off visiting this liquidation
store on a regular basis and every few days because you -- and they -- never know what will come in for sale any day of the
week. You can see our TV reports on their "Discounters, Outlets / Bulldog Liquidators" page.
BUCK-A-ROO THE LIQUIDATOR IN PICO RIVERA
Update December 1, 2010 Buck-A-Roo is at 9425 Telegraph Road, Pico
Rivera. It is a true discounter and liquidator and gets overstock from stores and factories, and always offers deep
discounts. Call them at (562) 949-BUCK. Buck-A-Roo is loaded with family and kids gift items,
and they have great deals on toys and game sets that the entire family will enjoy. I was very impressed with the selection
and the prices including an air hockey table game, new in the box, that is priced at only $49.95 and retails elsewhere for
$129.95. This is a true air hockey game and the buck easily glides on the table with air puffing from the table surface.
You'll get hours of fun from this set. And for weeks of family fun, and something that is the right size for kids, is
a 12-in-1 family game table featuring a quality foosball set, and a hockey set (no air with this model) and a mini ping-pong
set, and 9 other table games and all of the accessories that you'll need. There is a mini pool table with the balls
and two cues and a rack. This is a quality table game package -- not a cheap or flimsy table game set -- so you will
enjoy this for years.
Buck-A-Roo also discounts toys and you'll find dozens of quality
and brand-name toys at $5 or less. There are brand new Mattel dolls and toys inluding Snow White and Cinderella Mattel
toys at only $9.99. For the grownups there are assorted gift baskets at only $6.99 each and some of these retailed for
as much as $39 eah. There is a 16-piece dinner ware set with a holiday pattern for only $9.99 and that's for four 4-piece
place settings. This is a great deal.
There are 8-piece comforter sets that
are $29.99 for the queen set and $34.99 for the king set. There is also a ten-piece frame set with various size frames
for only $6.99 and baby fleece blankets for only $5.99 that a major chain is selling for $24.99.
Buck-A-Roo also has deals on groceries, bottled water, clothing, kitchen appliances, kitchen gadgets and more.
Remember, this is a true liquidator so their inventory will change all the time. My tip is to call them once a week
to see what's new -- but get those game table sets now while this deal lasts. Our video report is below.
