We’ve all seen the image of an oasis in the desert, the lush green foliage in a sea of desert sands. That is just what it was like when I arrived at Triton Drive in Albany. In front of me was an oasis for outlet stores amongst the drab grey commercial buildings. It was also a refreshing change after fighting the crowds at the Onehunga Dress Smart, an altogether more civilised shopping experience.

There is a good quality collection of stores with a good range of stock along with the expected discount prices. Although we were only there for a couple of hours we probably bought more than in the whole afternoon at Dress Smart. We found some great bargains at Ice Breaker, my daughter loves her new socks and top. We also found a great wallet at the Rip Curl store fo my daughter about half price and there were lots of other great bargains if we had more time.

By far my favourite shop was Citta Design Store , I just love browsing through the shop getting inspiration from their designer homewares. It is even better when it is at outlet store prices. I used the opportunity to make a start on my Christmas shopping and probably would have bought even more had my husband not looked so stressed at the sight of the growing pile on the counter.

With outlet stores like those in Triton Drive it makes me wonder why people would shop anywhere else. If you are in the area, be sure to pop in for a look.
