Welcome to the 15th annual edition of Barb's Sydney Factory Shopping Guide. This year, as usual, I've searched far and wide to find a wonderful eclectic mix of factory and clearance outlets for you.

I just adore factory shopping! In fact, I find it difficult paying full retail price for anything. A few times a year, under sufferance, I find I have to visit a retail outlet and "ouch", dare I say it, pay full price for something! That really stings! That's how spoilt I've become.

For more years than I choose to admit, I have been addicted to factory outlet shopping. I still love the adrenaline rush when I find something ideal, with a heavily discounted price tag attached! May you experience such magic moments.

This is where this book comes to the core. In our special 15th edition we feature ladies' and men's designer label fashion, lingerie and accessories, retro/vintage fashion, skincare and cosmetics, contemporary ladies', mens's and children's wear, leisure and surf wear, family footware, homewares, manchester, appliances, scrumptious food, craft, stationary, outdoor furniture, gift lines, luggage, markets and factory centres.

If you are a regular reader, there is a large array of fresh new listings to entice you once again.

Factory shopping is fun. Have a great time with this book. Share it with your friends an family and don't forget to mention Barb's to the outlets you visit. It all helps to spread the word. Next time you're out on one of your factory shopping escapades, look out for me. I'll be the shopper with the biggest smile.

Enjoy!
