    1 out of 5 stars Where are the useful sources??   April 25, 2005

    "Mr. Cheap" doesn't seem to know anything about most of the wonderful bargain sources that exist in the DC/NoVA area. In this area, we have LOTS of places where people can get end-of-season clothes, returned and unused items of all types, leftovers from building jobs, furnishings from places that have closed (not the scam ones listed in this book, some of which I checked out only to find ancient junk and NOT the superbuys he claimed), cooking supplies, hardware, jewelry supplies, hard-to-find clothing sizes, and many more. Also, his restaurant listings are a joke. Readers would be better off with the archived reviews from the Washington Post. And the paeans to Tuesday Morning and similar chain stores?? What a joke! Who needs what are basically Sunday paper ads? Books like this should have NEW information about one-of-a-kind places, not chains. Whoever put this second edition together copied the good info from the first book but forgot to research almost anything new. Maybe a third edition, with input from REAL investigation will be upcoming. I'll be waiting.


    1 out of 5 stars Not up to expectations.   June 9, 2003

    I thought the author would actually REVIEW the outlet malls, not just tell us where they are (you can get that for free on the Internet!) He warns that not all "outlets" really offer great bargains -- but you have to check 'em all out yourself to find out which ones do.

    And guess what -- he says you can get great prices at Sams, KB Toys, and Tuesday Morning. Well, "duh".
