ELIZA: This place is great. I'm surprised they have so much.
JANE: Yes, but it takes a while to find things.
It's not organized as carefully as a regular store.
ELIZA: I never shopped in an outlet before. We don't have any in my hometown.
Why do they call it an "outlet"?
JANE: Sometimes a clothes company makes too many of one item.
They can't sell it all in their regular stores. So they send the overstock to an outlet.
That's why they call it an "outlet".
It's a store that "let's out" products the company can't sell in regular stores.
ELIZA: And they have faulty products here too.
JANE: Yes. A "faulty product" may be a shirt that has some problem.
Or a pair of pants that is ripped a little.
Sometimes the fault is very small. So it's a good deal to buy it.
Sometimes, if you have a needle and thread, you can fix it yourself.
ELIZA: I like to sew, so that's easy for me.
I think it's a really good deal. Some of these shirts have only one tiny mistake on them.
JANE: I know.
So it's a good idea to shop in an outlet sometimes. You can save a lot of money.
ELIZA: That's great for me.
Now that Steve and I have the baby, we want to save as much as we can.
CASHIER: Cash or credit, Ma'am?
ELIZA: Credit.
JANE: Wow! How many of those sweatshirts are you buying?
ELIZA: I have six here.
JANE: Six? Why do you need so many?
ELIZA: They're such a good deal.
I'm buying one for Steve, one for his brother Rick,
one for my dad, two for my sisters, and one for me.
JANE: You really know how to use an outlet store!
ELIZA: I ought to make the most of it while I'm here, don't you think?
JANE: Sure. You're smart.
