The Carters in my outlet is also a 'normal' carters, but they had MAJOR sales. 25-50% off pretty much everything....and a great clearance section. Also, if your outlet has a children's place, hit that. I found some great deals there (really nice sweaters for $6 each).
I've found that BRU usually has better deals than the Carter's stores. Are there any true Carter's outlet stores? The 3 near me (all in outlets) are regular stores.
I think it depends on when you hit the sales. I've been to Carter's several times when they've had excellent 50% off sales or things for $3.99 and $5.99.
I'll still look, but I'm a smidge disapointed. I'll definately hit up Children's Place and Gymboree though!
All the Carter's company stores carry current clothes and some closeouts. Sometimes they have a lot on the $3.99 or lower racks and sometimes not so much. But even with just the sales you can get pretty good deals.
