How far down will you be going? South Portland has the Maine Mall, plus a lot of other stores around it. Then there’s Freeport, of course, with LL Bean and lots of other outlets. Augusta also has some pretty good shopping. I’m not too familiar with anything further north of there.

The outlets in Freeport and Kittery seem like just more retail stores now. I read that a lot of places just manufacture substandard merch specifically for their outlets. I’ll usually grab a few things at the LLBean outlet and from the clearance shoe wall at Nike, maybe something at KTP but that’s about it. I guess a person needs to consistently troll these places for best results. Anything I’m missing? Anywhere you can recommend?

This is correct and has been the case for years.

Once in a while the Patagonia outlet in Freeport has 40% off sale, sometimes including current season merch (which is usually full price). I always stop there when I’m in Freeport.
