This is why it pays to be a smart shopper. I would have known that there's no way that sweater was worth $59.00 whether or not it was billed as a "clearance price". This summer I went to the LL Bean Outlet in Freeport, ME and thought the prices were too high. Then I went to their regular store and actually found a couple of the outlet store items there on sale at CHEAPER prices! No kidding - same color, variety, etc! So you really have to be observant to be a savvy shopper. Unfortunately this takes a lot of time and attention that most people don't have.
