We registered for our china and everyday dishes from the Mikasa & Pfaltzgraff outlets. Prices are at least 10% cheaper (if not more) and they have a better selection than most stores.
A lot of the other stores in the same outlet center don't really have good deals, though. I've seen some shoe outlets where prices are cheaper in the regular stores
The JCrew outlet is in my town since the distribution center is here. I get good deals there a lot.
