The only bargains I found were in the childrens shops........Little Me, Carters, the cookware/dish shops, toys and books.........
Other then that most were about the same as a sale at Bon Ton or Boscovs......or Macys. No huge Outlet bargains in some shops at all.
I do find the best deals online.

It's not a bad outlet mall for the area, considering its location. But there are better and cheaper outlet malls around. Vanity Fair in Reading doesn't have as many stores but some of their stores are HUGE and they have great prices. Rockvale in lancaster is nice and has many stores. On the other side of the state is Grove city which is the biggest I've seen. Closer to King of Prussia is Philadelphia premium Outlets, pretty big with a diverse collection of stores.

It really depends on what you are shopping for there. I have found some stores are no less then a regular mall. The sales and clearance are the real deals.

I don't like shopping when it is crowded there, it's crazy and many people are just rude. You have to be aware of your surroundings (like anywhere for that matter) and best to go early as the rif raff starts a bit later in the day.

It is a tourist type area, so you will be dealing with many personalities and behaviors.

As I said before there are some bargains but you have to be price concious and no how to shop. A friend of mine just came back from one of the outlets and bought a Coach bag and saved over $100. So I guess not everyone thinks they are tourist traps.
