We went in April-May and there seemed to be sales all over the place. In the area around the big Wal-Mart on US192 there are several stores perpetually selling at 'rock-bottom' prices, 'buy one & take one free' etc. :)
You normally find the biggest reductions are in the Thanksgiving sales.

The sales are nearly always ongoing. We did very well in the May sales too this year-especially in the Disney store at Florida Mall where just about everything in store was being reduced.
Look out for special days like Valentine's, Labour Days, Columbus day, May day etc as there is almost always a sale to correspond with that especially in the big dept stores. Also sales at the end of season-so should be coming up to a fall sale soon!
Labor day sale at Belz was good last year.

The January sales were pretty good too, and the going back to school discounts last August were good. They seem to have sales all the time.:)

On the whole though, I felt the sales offered by reputable stores / malls like Belz were more reliable, even though they were not as cheap as the 'Flea market' type outlets. Having said that, we found some really good bargains in Belz. A luggage shop (I've forgeotten the name :() in the Belz Factory Outlet had good quality luggage pieces at around 60 to 75% below market value. We bought some and were very pleased with the quality.
TJ Maxx near Belz also do good sales quite often. I bought a $49.99 rucksack for $14.99 there.

We have found that different outlets have different sale times.
We have just returned from Florida after buying a villa on Magic Landings and
we found that there are sales on now.
Toy's R Us have a 50% sale on some of their items.
Kids clothes had 20% off than 50% off marked price!!
Shop around and you will always find a sale on somewhere!!

JC Penney have a cracking sale each september,hagger shorts and shirts were being sold off at a phenomenal $3.99 each last year.!!
I love JC Penney sales - they have had a sale on the last two times I have been in Florida - October and April - we have picked up some real bargains in clothing and bedding and bathroom linens(and stuff for the villa etc etc etc)
