As an employee of TJ MAXX for many years now I have a few tips and comments.
1. Don’t be afraid to look on those long racks. I know everyone think all the new stuff gets put on the little features but that is not true. If we don’t get enough of a specific item in we will put it on the long racks instead of the small ones, and we have certain restrictions as to what we can put on those features (for example, Nike is not allowed on those small racks.
2. Though it is good to check Marshall’s and HomeGoods for other items if you don’t find exactly what you want just be aware that we do all get different stuff, sometimes different sizes, and different amounts of each item because it is off brand.
3. Though it doesn’t hurt to ask if something is marked down please note that if there is a long line of people behind you it is a bit aggravating as the cashier to have to got through that extra step with the machine that is 10 feet away from them just to say you $2. Also, if the associate does not look it up but rather just looks at the ticket, it is because we know how to read the tickets, not because we were blowing you off.
4. The online store does get different inventory and does not allow you to search by brand. Those this may be aggravating at times it is because we are not allowed to promote/publicize certain brands (like with the small feature racks)
5. TJ MAXX gets new shipments 5 day a week on a normal week but during the holidays it can be 6-7 days.
6. The best time to shop is probably around 12-7 because we aren’t allowed to push out new items after 7 and by 12 we have started to actually get a good amount of the days stuff out.
7. Every TJ MAXX gets different stuff based on the area. For example, if it was a predominantly Jewish area that the store is in they will get more Hanukkah stuff than Christmas stuff. Also, the average income of the area may cause a variation in items.
8. If you have a good experience at a TJ MAXX full out the survey at the bottom of the receipt. It counts towards our store rating. Also, just know that the survey, though you rate the store from 1-5 is actually pass/fail so if it’s not a 5 then it might as well be a 1. It’s also really great to mention the name of an associate if a particular one helped you!
Thank you, Amanda, for taking the time and thought to bring us this host of detailed, unexpected tips! 💃💃💃
Thank you Amanda for these wonderful tips 🤗
Amanda Gosson thanks for number 3
Amanda Gosson Great tips . Appreciate the feedback .👍🏽
Amanda you are so awesome!!! Thank you for these tips!! 🥰
Once someone took a shirt out of my shopping cart while I was distracted! Tip: always keep a close eye to an item you loved!
No kidding, the same happened to me: I was holding on to my cart looking in the opposite direction and when I turned my head around, a woman was fishing in my cart. Can't believe how rude some people are!
😫🤦🏼♀️
Happens all the time. I make sure to cover my cart belongings with unwanted items when I'm in the dressing room, as a preventive measure.
@@diedrahicks5870 You might try using the fitting room first then go shop for those non apparel items last:)
That's messed up for someone to take something out of someone else's cart! People these days don't respect boundaries anymore.
I found $295 rag and bone floral mules at Nordstrom rack priced at $17.50 this weekend in Austin! Must have been mislabeled.. Deal of the century! 😍
I'm so happy for you! 😁
TJ Maxx employee here ❤️ this video is full of amazing and true tips. I do have to agree Monday mornings are the worst time to go. As we don’t get truck in since Friday morning. And as for the website not saying the brands, a lot of the “prestigious” brands we sell (such as Michael Kors & Ralph Lauren) don’t allow us to advertise their brand because they don’t want to be associated with discount stores. If you guys have any questions I’ll do my best to answer. :)
Maggie how far out can something be returned for a store credit? My mom shops all year round for Christmas for my family which can often become a problem with TJ’s return policy. My mom loves the shopping/hunt process so I’d rather not take that from her and be rude by asking for gift cards. My current remedy is to donate those items that don’t fit or suit our taste to Goodwill. Thanks.
Kathleen Hazy Hello Kathleen! Does she usually give you gift receipts? Sometimes that makes returns easier, but if the item still has the tag and is in good shape and not used; any time you return if you should get store credit. If you have the initial purchase receipt, if you return an item within 30 days you get a full refund; but after it’s store credit. Does this answer your question? :)
Maggie Mom usually never gives me a receipt. Maybe that would be the easier conversation...ask her for a gift receipt “just in case.” I would dread walking in a store without a receipt...that would be so awkward. Get a gift receipt from mom...that’s what I’ll do. Thanks for your advice Maggie!
When buying a beauty product open it first if you can to make sure it hasn’t been contaminated
TJX employee here! Stores get deliveries five days a week during the year, but all 7 days a week during the holidays. Also, it depends what week it is when it comes to asking an associate for a markdown. The system won’t always allow us depending on when it is, so please don’t get upset if they aren’t able to mark it down :)
Marshalls employee here lol 😂 still waiting for marshalls to get a jewelry dept like tjmaxx 😂
As a TJX employee, I have a couple of tips for shoppers to make your shopping experience and OUR workday a pleasant one. We get deliveries almost every day, thousands of different items, it's a bit unrealistic to expect us to know EVERYTHING we have in inventory. So, don't think we're dismissing your questions when we answer with "if we have it, it would be in...." We'd love to be able to memorize everything so we can help you, but it's impossible. Also, inventory varies from store to store, so we have NO clue as to what other store might have the item you're looking for. Regarding returns on RUNWAY items. This is very important: If you purchase a Runway item, DO NOT REMOVE the weird looking security clip or the tags if you want to return them. The only way we are allowed to return or exchange those is if the tags and that security clip is still attached to the garment AND you have the receipt. HomeGoods, Marshalls, TJMaxx are all part of the same parent company... BUT our tags, barcodes, item numbers are different and will NOT scan in other stores. There are HomeGoods/Marshalls combo stores. There's usually no issues returning clothing purchased there at regular Marshalls stores. BUT housewares/Home decor items will have a different barcode and will NOT scan at a regular Marshalls store. If you do try to return it at a Marshalls, please be patient, because an associate has to find an item in the same department and the same retail price so we can do an item conversion ticked so you can accept the return. And sometimes it's impossible to do, specially with clereance items. Also, Marshalls will not be participating in the "email receipt" program. So you will still need a paper receipt for returns. So please save your receipts, it's so much more convenient and faster for you as a shopper and for us as a store. Trust me, we get as excited as you when we receive amazing designer and cool items and we want you to have a pleasant, amazing shopping experience. You wouldn't believe how much a Thank You and a smile can make an employee's day.
Skinny Ja
Skinny Jax thank you!
I work at a TJMAXX.. I can confirm all this is good advice!
Lol my best tip was having my daughter get a summer job there 😂 they allow family to do holds and use employees discount 😂😂😂!
I am a regular shopper at TJM... I'm obsessed! Needed a dressy dress for my daughter's wedding and found the perfect one...$380 reg tag price...I paid $42! It was all hand beaded and a perfect fit. My best deal ever, but I find amazing deals all the time!
The best tip for finding designer online, is sorting the items by the highest discount
There’s no option to do so?
Another tip: If you find an item YOU LOVE - BUY IT. Don't put it back thinking you'll come back in a few days to buy it. IT WILL BE GONE. Recently learned this lession on a Goyard dupe looking tote I'm kicking myself I missed.
RuthAnne MacKinnon yess!!!
This is sooo true.
store of my life...
I picked up a Free People dress from a rack and then put it back down, 5 minutes later I changed my mind and when I went back it was gone!!
That true
Hello, I’ve been an employee for TJ Maxx for 4+ years.
Just wanted to say that they don’t allow searching via brands on their online website due to contracting with said brand. Most brands don’t want the their customers to be able to immediately search cheaper items through TJ Maxx when said item can be purchased on their website at full price.
This is also why certain brands such as Nike and Adidas are restricted from being displayed on fixtures in certain locations. :)
ninllanos1916 good to know. I love TJ Maxx.
Ahhhhhh, Now it fits together with the other comment. I so get it now
Here's another tip for you. Cross body bags, keeps hand free.
I love shopping at TJ Maxx, but I find myself in the home decor section too much. Now, I am trying to learn more about fashion. Here watching and learning!
Shopaholics beware ...put it back if not in love with it.
Don’t put in cart.
You are so right, Rita. Select only "the best." Forget the rest!
Rita Gaston better still, don’t buy and save money... how many bloody T shirts does anyone actually need? Or bags, or shoes... it’s just junk really
Linda Atamian agree, when I take it home you can talk yourself into keeping. I stop going to these stores. I’ve waisted so much money. No more
@@mitzymorris6573 for some people it is a hobby
Really appreciated you taking the time to provide this video and for being so transparent. I "heart" TJ Maxx and appreciate all the tips!
New subscriber-great video! I love TJ Maxx and these are great tips. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
I'd love to add one:
Invest $80 - $100 in a good professional steamer system. One with a tank on wheels at the bottom, with a hanger and hose at the top....
This is a game changer for the bagain shopper. I find some serious gems that had so many wrinkles that it scared folks off. The steamer makes everything look brand new and it's so easy!
I have been in love with those sand and fog candles! Sometimes I’ll just go to TJ or Marshall’s for those!
Literally I just had the best Shopping experience at the tj maxx because of you😲. I was using all those tips and tricks you gave us and I scored so much amazing stuff 😍 thank you
Ha! That’s so awesome!!
I currently work at TJ Maxx and have for a while. If I’m being completely honest, she doesn’t know exactly what she’s talking about. She is giving an outsiders perspective, but it’s not actually how it goes.
1) Shoes or any item that has been ordered online does not automatically get marked down. It gets put on the shelf at the price it was bought at just like everything else until the next markdown cycle. Not sure why it was assumed that it gets marked down right away.
2) You can’t just walk up to an associate and ask them to mark stuff down for you or to see if it needs to be marked down. Associates are not allowed to mark stuff down just because a customer asks. There are certain markdown periods, and that’s when everything gets marked down. It also has to be done by hand. That means it’s not in the system and each item has to be single handedly marked down. If it gets missed, it gets missed.
3) They do not put the most expensive makeup at the front of the store. There are features all throughout the store, and the ones at the front change depending on what time of year it is, what holidays are coming, or what corporate wants. It has nothing to do with price.
4) Trying to go first thing on the morning on weekends doesn’t make that much of a difference. Employees are pushing out new merchandise all throughout the afternoon, so just because you get there in the morning doesn’t mean you are seeing everything.
5) Online shopping won’t let you search things like Nike. This is because those brands don’t want their stuff shown at a discounted price when you can go to Nike and buy it full price. Also, every TJ Maxx carries diffferent items, so you can’t expect everything you see on store to be online or vise versa. It’s just not realistic.
This is not meant to be hateful, it’s just honest. She doesn’t have all the facts. Even the dedicated shoppers don’t know everything.
Natalie Stone thanks
I would honestly recommend that the best time to shop at TJMAXX is as soon as they open on Friday morning. They have ben putting out items all week, and few people have the luxury to shop during the week (instead of working) so many of the items are still there. If you wait until Saturday morning, alot of people have already began purchasing deals the Friday evening. This really works for people who'd rather go shopping once a week, than exhaustively continue to check in every other day.
2. There is also a particular technique to shop in the racks. Take a section of clothes (10-15 items), and push them all to your left. Now quickly, take each individual item and move it to the right, one by one. It should feel kind of like flipping through the pages of a book. Then move to the next section of 10-15 items. This makes shopping through the racks more systematic and less overwhelming than trying to sift through mountains of clothes.
Melissa, love your motivation for raising the bar, on everything in life. I have been following you for over a year and your videos give me a happy heart! Keeping myself filled with motivational gas and my eyes focused on my future now❤️🎉❤️
Totally agree- TJ Maxx’s with that section, (usually in richer areas ) have better stuff and tend to be better stocked.
With what section?sorry, just a little lost.
Even though I haven’t been to other stores in my area because I usually go to the richer area one and it barely has anything in comparison to what I see on TH-cam. In beauty/make up area anyways.
True.
@@andreawellman4461 it's called the "Runway Department", if you live in a bigger city/affluent area most likely you'll have a TJMaxx store that'll carry luxury/designer brands within the runway department.
Always check the jewelry counter. I just bought 2 pairs of Kendra Scott earring at 75% off.
The 2 places I shop first are jewelry and home...then it’s handbags, shoes, and beauty.
I love their jewelries as well.
My TIP...if it doesn't make you feel like dancing, Don't buy it....
Agreed!
That’s good!!!
I agree with the better TJ Max store location quality!
Awesome tips!!! So glad I found your channel. I shop my TJMAX practically each week and find amazing deals!!! Happy shopping!!
TH-cam must have known tj maxx is my absolute favorite! You had good tips
I went to Home Goods last Sunday and found 2 plastic cups to go with my new dishes. Today I found 4 more at Marshalls. Same design, different color. But it's just me.... Also found a large camisol type shirt for $3.50, but kept it anyway vs medium. 3 women were following me and watching my items. Must've been new to shopping the store. I've been buying stuff at TJ for a long time. It's a great time, and requires a long visit.
Mondetta/MPG athleticwear is amazing. I used to only shop their website's year-end sale (online),; and was soooo excited when I found them at my local TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores!
I have also stumbled upon a great pair of Athleta fitness pants at Marshalls. I love that family of stores!
Loved your video . It was so resourceful. Do you have a video on Tj max home decor buys? That would be helpful.🙋🏻♀️
Melissa....I get SO EXCITED when you have posted a new video. I have found the BEST deals and amazing shoes, handbags, jeans and dresses from Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack...using ALL your tips. I also follow your blog. Thanks for the candle tip....It is my FAVORITE. I am going to TJ Maxx today.
YOUR CHANNEL IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!
I had an EPIC birthday this past weekend! I scored a GORGEOUS DESIGNER pair of shoes for 5 cents. 😎❤️
Lisa Sutton you are too sweet! I love this and wishing you a huge happy birthday!!! Thank you for virtually shopping with me!! Xo
I work for TJX and yes, every store is different. My store gets a truck in everyday at noon, we work the truck the next morning so our floor has ew merch for you to shop. We try to keep our new things on features and our clearance section cleaned and organized. But things do travel. But all good tips!!!
just found your channel and it is great fun. My sister and granddaughters shop at TJ MAX and Marshall's all the time but I never do, but will now
GIRL , I am so filled with joy finding this channel - you are like my shopping spirit animal! love these the tips!!!! thanks for posting
Hi! Tj Maxx supervisor here, another tip to follow is to stop in mid to late in the month. Generally speaking that is when our markdown cycles happen. Also come the day after holidays, most of the items corresponding with that holiday will be mark down 30-50% off. They may get mark down further as it gets farther away from that holiday but be careful because after 5-7 days after the holidays most stores donate their leftover holiday stuff to charity.
Knowledge is power! Knowing the lowest prices of items works to your advantage...that way you'll know if a store is behind on marking down items, something has missed a mark down or something old's been returned without a price adjustment. Often, I ask a sales coordinator/manager to assist with updating the price, especially if I receive a knee jerk response from a sales associate that the item is priced as marked. Having a receipt with the listed item or a price tag photo of the same item from a different store will help. (Finding an identical item, barring size, in the same store makes things very easy.) However, when comparing 2 items, both items must have the same ticket numbers for one to make a case. (That won't always be the situation.) Sometimes their markdown system is down, making for another challenge though managers sometimes have the ability to check prices in their back offices. If necessary, it helps to call the district manager or TJMaxx customer service.
Thanks. Great tips. Will definitely look for that Runway area.🤞🏽👍🏾💗
Some of the cutest things I have came from Marshall’s, TJ Max and Rosses..it is def all about the hunt..u have to enjoy shopping...
Just an FYI, TJ Max & it’s sister companies do purchase their own new designs from companies I.e. Micheal Kort’s handbags etc. They do not only buy close outs, but items specially manufactured for them. Also, online you can often find very high end handbags and shoes that are not carried in the stores. Many times online, I will put the item in my cart and wait until I receive a free shipping e-mail then purchase the item. Recently, I purchased a set of Nambe canisters online that are the same ones selling at Neiman Marcus. My motto, for shopping these type of stores is “buy it if you like or it will be gone.”
S Flamer thanks for this!
I absolutely love TJMaxx/Homegoods. Been a loyal customer for 20 years now. My job is flexible so I go 2-3 times per week. I usually have something specific that I'm looking for. Kitchen, kids, shoes, work clothes, furniture, storage, etc.....a household always needs things. Patience is key! Sooner or later they will get what you're looking for. Best feeling is when you find what you're looking for with a yellow tag! Most of my home and closet is curated from TJMaxx & Marshall's
You are so cute, I love how happy you were finding that candle. I don't know how in the world did you figure these out. I get so overwhelmed by so many styles, I don't know how you keep track of it.
Great tips. Tj Maxx is my favorite store. I’m there every week. I use all these tips. There’s one 2 miles from my house and my stop on my way home to decompress from a stressful work day. Lots of hidden treasures.
That used to be me a way to unwind after work, by the time I was done so was the rush hour traffic
A brand new TJ Maxx opened up one week ago a block from my house. Yayyyy
Love TJMAXX. I find great curly hair products there. Nice to find and try new brands at a discount. And I
Love their sterling silver jewelry. Thanks for the tips!
I used to work at a Marshall's in NJ and they restocked every day due to their location and had great high end items based on their demographic. Always ask how often shipments come in and sometimes if you have a good rapport with an associate, ask them to scan with their pricing gun to see if it was missing a price adjustment based on age of the item. Sometimes things get missed when they are doing markdowns.
You used to be able to tell by the code number on the tag how old it is and how soon they'll be marking it down but now I don't know anymore.
My most favorite store! I find so many deals there. Don’t be intimidated to check a clearance section. I buy literally everything in this store.
Natalia Li My friends don’t even bother buying me gifts anymore. They just give me a TKMaxx gift card (I live in Europe) 😂
Soooo, is no one going to talk about how BEAUTIFUL her home is (of course the small portion we can see at the end)? And why is her mirror so huge and lovely 😭😍🥰
I usully hit the beauty section for great finds and i love the soaps and shower gels too. Now ill be hitting the spots on this video too. Thanks!
My the only advise: don’t take your husband with you)))
My partner hates going there but loves everything I buy...tkmaxx in the 🇬🇧
SashaLine 😂😂😂
Amen and hallelujah to that! Anytime my husband goes w me to TJ, he suddenly starts feeling bad so we have to leave..😄😄😄
@@fancysfolly554 The same story!!!🤣
SashaLine yes shopping should be done alone or with your girlfriends
This is so funny to me. I have been working at TJMAXX for 2 years. I see extreme shoppers everyday . Very good tips 👍🏾💙
Hi friends! I hope you enjoy some of my favorite Tjmaxx shopping tips! Feel free to comment with some of your tips - I get so much from the things you share and hope you do too! Xox enjoy!
Just came across your channel, You are speaking my language! Yes! I am at TJ Max and Burlington Coat Factory at least 3 times a week. I just found a stunning red dress/gown at TJ for the ridiculous price of $59.00. Marked down from almost $ 500.00. It was an online purchase that was returned in store, It was from the online Runway collection. News to me, but it was the find of the century! I also check Marshall's and Ross as well. Love your channel!
Oooh girl awesome!!!
He!y Melissa! So glad I found your channel! I shop T. J. Maxx and Marshall's for skin care and nail lacquer. I have found great bargains on recently released OPI and OPI Infinite Shine polish. Several times I have, found Pacifica and Londontown Lacquer for 60% off the retail price! I like Acure, Jason and Derma E skin care lines. TJM and Marshall's have more reasonable prices than Ulta. BTW, I am a new sub.
Those kyo... athletic pants look great! I bought VSecret yoga pants at $80 but found similar at Target for $40 (quality wasn’t great, seems are coming undone) but these for $20 look so much better! I only treat myself to new yoga pants once/year so these are next! I workout EVERYDAY so by the time the year is up, they are toast! Quality is key! I shop 95% at thrift stores and only rarely shop brand new (reuse reduce recycle!)
Great channel!! New sub
Love your channel. So great and informative and of course fun. Thanks
Great tips!! I didnt even notice The Runway sections before..... I'll keep my eyes open now! I usually just hit beauty and jewelry sections..... Now I'm excited to check clothes!
in TJMaxx... Those white pieces together- yesss! The FP dress and t those shoes! It all looks gorgeous on you, too! I just discovered your videos and looove! Great quality, editing, content and you're so fun to shop with!
lisap3.2 aww thank you for joining me!!!
I always go to the TJ Maxx stores in poorer neighborhoods. They have the same items but prices are a bit cheaper & often a lot of stuff is on clearance. Also, for example, the big bottle batiste dry shampoo is normally 9.99 but I go to a predominant African American neighborhood where they don’t use dry shampoo but instead they use hair oils instead, so the big Batiste bottles are always on clearance for $2-3...insane 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
love_nyc_ LOL, I discovered this little secret, too! More upscale items available where folks only look for cheap stuff!👍🏻😜
@@katalingerstenberger5866 Good to hear 😂😂 I actually went the other day and got a bunch of Marc Jacobs makeup. One of the brushes originally sells for $70 something and I got it for $20, I was shocked!
So true about shopping the beauty department. MANY hidden treasures. 😊
As long as no one used it or swatched it. Always check!
People like opening things at my TJ maxx so I'm always cautious about what makeup I buy there. Google swatches of shades is what I constantly do in store, wish others did.
RykaStar yes, yes and yes
Appreciate all the tips!! Marshall’s is one of my absolute favorites!!
Hiya! Great tips, just subbed! One tip: I know a buyer for TJMaxx, luxury designers often make handbags just for these stores, they’re not overstock never sold in their boutiques. So be careful with those as they’re still quite pricey, possibly not the same quality as the real deal. Have a lovely week! Jet🧡🎸🎶⚡️
I watched a video recently that said the same thing about the outlet malls.
Jill Moss - Yes certain factory outlets do things just for the outlet. I know Coach is one but not sure how they do it as I got a handbag from the “Legacy” collection that was exact to what they sold in store. J Crew does as well. Cheers! Jet 🧡🎸🎶⚡️
I’ll just google the item - most of the things I find, I have found that they were sold at some point (many still are sold by retailers) while others I find no trace of online, leading me to believe it may be made specifically for these discount stores. Regardless, the hunt is fun :)
zvezdapadalica15 - Good idea! J. 😘🧡
Hi u are getting me so excited I can’t wait till store opens
Hi Melissa, I also love TJMAX. I live in the Boston suburbs very close to their corporate headquarters. I have several TJMAX's very close to me, and also Marshalls and The Rack. I love their shoe department, I have many items from there. I love their hand soaps and their sheet masks. I love their athletic wear, socks and PJ's. And sometimes, I find the very "dup" in the jewelry department, that I have seen in other stores for a whole lot cheaper. Recently, I bought the cutest "DUNES" cross body hand bag in a rosy beige with a flower pattern flap in ivory and rose beige. I also bought on a Monday a white Lucite type fish bone looking earring that I had seen in another fashion video for $5.00. You have to try on many clothing items because sometimes the size is not always actuate and often, I find my size in another area. Sometimes I think someone will put it there to save it while they think about it overnight. So be prepared to spend time in there, just looking. Great video. I am in there so often, I am getting to know the employees. One of the cashiers told me her kids hate the place and will not shop there, too bad, because I even love their sheets and pillow cases. LOL!!! :-) Happy shopping!
Just came across your channel and subscribed immediately. I’m a super shopper myself so I enjoyed these tips but let me just say, your voice is so relaxing! You speak so eloquently.
Kathryn Anne haha I didn’t even realize I had a relaxing voice! Thanks! 😂💗
There are always incredible deals to be found in TJMaxx!!!!! I always find some awesome designer goods there!
Skin care is my thing. I will spend an hour or more going through skin care items & have found they get misplaced into the strangest spots but I have made out with some excellent deals.
Look for YELLOW tag clearance items...massive markdowns usually happen twice a year!!
Jan/Feb and July/Aug for TJMAXX and Marshall's
As a marshalls employee (literally the same as tj maxx)
Tips and ways to help staff
1) check to make sure a palette isn’t broken or lipstick isn’t smudged before purchasing. If it is, it is our jobs to either mark it down or mark it out due to hygiene reasons.
2) the fitting room allows 10 items at once and the fitting room associate HAS to count the items and physically touch item, there is a security camera watching us do our job so all we ask is for you patience
3) pay attention to when you see the “new markdowns” posted outside the store, that is the best time to shop the clearance department and when it is most up to date because most times who wants to spend time rummaging the clearance
4) we do not have direct access to if we have a certain product from either our store or another location as we never have a set number for inventory or even what we get for inventory. We either have to call another store or look for the item.
I'm normally not a shopper there however after watching this video, I'll be checking them out & giving them another chance.
My first thought was yeah, right! What could she possibly tell ME about my favorite store! Haha! I want to thank you sooo much for this one! And, YES those shoes! Oh my goodness! Field day! Again, thank you for this. I really did learn some things and will be putting them to use immediately!
Best tip: you don't need it. Seriously. Just put it back and save your money.
😂😂😂
Well, I was recently shopping in clothing in Costco and had an epiphany "every thing I see here will eventually end up in a landfill". Now multiply that by hundreds of Costcos, Targets, TJMaxxs and on and on. Made my stomach ill. But, yes TJMaxx is my therapy, even if I buy nothing....
Lolololol 😄😄😄😄 Ty for this!!!!
Around summertime I finally made a decision to go back and get the white jean jacket that I had my eye on for a long time. I went through every single rack that I could find and could not find it. I was ready to give up and I turned around and there was one last round clothing rack to look through. I honestly didn't think it would be on there but lo and behold there it was and thank God cuz I love it.
Melissa!! I have shopped at TJMaxx so much. I feel like we are shopping buddies already! I loved your video because I see myself in you. I am such a BIG fan of TJMaxx. Like you mentioned some of my friends don't like it because they think stuff is broken but on the contrary, the items are quality. Recently I made the mistake of buying a curly iron in Ulta for like $89. Two weeks later I found it at TJMaxx for $24. Great tips.. love the video!! thank you!!!!!
Tell me you returned the Ulta one!! 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
Oh..these are great tips. I find the best skin care and brand name cosmetics at TJ Max. Xoxo
I'm finding Zara and Stradivarius at my local UK TKmax at fantastically low prices for example light cotton low back sweater £2.50 !!! However you've got to have the jumble sale route it out mentality !!!
‘I cried for a minute’😂😂😂👍🏻
First time on channel, and I learned so much about shopping TJ Max .....thank you so much , shopping will never be the same ❤️
I use to work at tj maxx and she’s 100 percent right but I would especially go in the evenings!! We’re usually dead, and so that’s when we’re putting stuff out or processing it to go out, I would also look in the fitting room if you can’t find your size, or I also processed a LOT in the fitting room and I would always put aside stuff for myself, last fall I bought my fiancé a 20 dollar nike hoodie 🤷🏻♀️ that would have been gone if I didn’t process it, in the fitting room, so always check there for new items/ things that need to be put back because your size or something you’re looking for might be there! Some times people even leave their carts back there and so there items will also be being put back in the fitting room 😊
Also home goods is part of the same brand 😊
Definitely go to a store in the more upper class side of town. I'm obsessed with Betsy Johnson and my store usually has a few items, I went to a nicer TJ Max and there was Betsy Johnson everywhere. Also it was CHEAPER wtf
Lily Jawad Always cheaper in areas where the income bracket is high.
Wow that is really surprising but good to know 🙂
Just found your channel! Great tips that I never knew. I’m a new shopper to TJMax. The store always overwhelmed me so this is all great information. Thanks so much!!
Hi Melissa,
This is the first time I seen your video.
Sooo informative and helpful.
I will be checking your videos more often.
Thanks for the tips. 👛👚👙
I love bargain hunting. No TJ MAXX near me, but I am near a Marshalls. Hit and miss most of the time, and small selections, but bargains can be found. Fun shopping experience.
First time on your channel and I love these tips! I’m a Ross TJ Maxx Marshall’s lady through and through. I have found incredible Levi’s at Ross multiple times, Hunter boots, Vince loafers... I head to TJ for free people and Zara (Zara is dirt cheap at TJ). I’ve also bought Nars and even Kendra Scott at TJ. I’ve also learned to be super picky and only buy what I absolutely adore.
I just discovered your channel & subscribed after watching your Nordstrom tips video! Your shopping tips are amazing! As an extreme bargain hunter, I love Marshalls and Winners (in Canada, TJMax owns Winners, Home Sense & Marshalls. We don’t have TJMax but I guess Winners & Home Sense are the equivalent). I have lots of awesome deals over the years. The most extreme one was last fall when I found the Aquatalia knee high suede boots for my mom for $200. Regular price at Nordstrom & other high end stores was +$800!!!
I just love watching your videos! Keep em coming!
Thank you for making sense out of TJ MAXX. It’s always just looked like a mess, so thank you for breaking it down.
I found some coconut hair conditioner for $6. Best I have ever bought even better than the high price brands! Makes my hair soft and makes it grow faster. I love the rose soaps too!
What brand? :)
Tip number one: TRY IT ON so that you WILL NOT have to RETURN IT.
Sometimes if you are buying to match what you have and i5 doesn’t match RETURN IT!
I am too lazy but yes
I think I just became your 10,000th subscriber!! Love this video and look forward to continuing to watch.
Tina Matteson aww ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Anytime I go to check out, I will ask them to run the clearance tags.... 9 out of 10 times, the clearance was significantly lowered AGAIN. There are so many items, they often miss a lot.
Dang girl! I thought I was a maxxinista but you are maxxinista extraordinaire
I really hate shopping but love your enthusiasm! if it was up to me, I would be naked ALL the time, not because I don't have money, but I find shopping boring and so unnecessary. I just hate spending money, I enjoy watching my dough🤑🤑🤑 rise and love to spend it on travel. I travel with 3 outfits and own a few minimalist awesome pair of shoes. They are made of indestructible plastic😂 and will last me until after death. I do splurge on online, cheap workout attire... cause that stuff stinks after a few hard workouts.
kuddos to you!!! I would be stressed out and in need of therapy after this type of outting!
We have Michael Kors, coach bags, Ralph Lauren belts, bags and shoes in our UK stores
I’m going thru TJ Maxx withdrawals as a result of this pandemic. Glad a saw a few videos!
In Australia, our TJ Maxx is “TK Maxx”. Thanks for the tips, I’ve always found the store quite overwhelming.
Wow, I had no idea you can actually shop like that! 😁👍🏻 Great tips! Thank you so much. 💐💜
A few years ago I used to go 4 - 5 times a week! I used to find great deals and always got compliments. Then, they started doing tv commercials and I noticed the prices started rising! It’s still a discount store but not like it used to be! I miss the old TJMaxx!
