Best Bargains in New Hampshire | 2015 Editors’ Choice Awards

Pinching pennies never felt so good! Check out our picks for the best bargains in New Hampshire for 2015. Best Seasonal Bargain Bookshop Kyes-Sage Book Shop, Peterborough As laid-back as a hammock, Kyes–Sage turns its lights on from April to November, three days a week. Housed in a historic New Englander with Gothic flourishes beside the town’s library, and staffed by volunteers, the shop prices most books at $2 or less, making it a beach reader’s bonanza. 14 Concord St. 603-203-1794 Best Free Museum Hood Museum of Art, Hanover Dartmouth shares its art—65,000 pieces from one of the largest college collections in the U.S.—without charging a dime. With works ranging from ancient to modern, Asian to American to West African, plus stunners such as José Clemente Orozco murals and 9th-century Assyrian reliefs from the palace of Ashurnasirpal II. 4 East Wheelock St. 603-646-2808; hoodmuseum.dartmouth.edu Best Discount British Clothing Barbour Outlet, Milford Deep discounts plus no sales tax bring this classic, 120-year-old British clothing line well within reach of sporty mortals. Scoop up waxed jacket and wellies (just like Duchess Kate’s) at the U.S. headquarters, which houses an outlet store, a warehouse, and a repair shop where devotees send their coats from around the country. 55 Meadowbrook Drive. 603-673-1313; barbour.com Best Rainy-Day Flea Market Fairgrounds Antiques, Swanzey On any given day, you’ll find bargains galore at the Cheshire Fairgrounds collective, where 85 dealers create enough chaos to keep antiques hounds busy for hours. But you’ll score serious deals in the weeks before the Cheshire Fair in late July, when dealers have to pack up their booths for the incoming fair exhibits. 249 Monadnock Highway. 603-352-4420 Best New Outlet Bargains Merrimack Premium Outlets, Merrimack The state’s newest super-outlet offers savings of up to 65% on 100 brand names, including Nike, J.Crew, and Under Armour. But besides the standard New Hampshire bonus of no sales tax, Merrimack Outlets offers a VIP coupon book to veterans, military, and their families, and a 10% discount on Tuesdays at stores like Banana Republic and Le Creuset if you’re over 50. Age has its benefits. 80 Premium Outlets Blvd. 603-424-0050; premiumoutlets.com
