I had the unique opportunity to check out T.J. Maxx and Marshalls up close and personal last week. A group of great bloggers got together with T.J. Maxx & Marshalls Stylist Allison Deyette to get the scoop . To be honest, I hadn’t been in a T.J. Maxx in years. When I was younger I used to go in weekly. I was pretty amazed at the store!
I didn’t know that T.J. Maxx and Marshalls had this years fashions in store! I always thought they were last years leftovers! Here is the deal – the buyers from T.J. Maxx span the globe, they purchase directly from the designer at a lower price than the big name retail stores. In addition, they don’t advertise the big names, so their costs are lower. Even better, they don’t try and make their stores all fancy pancy — which just means you pay more for the same item.
Allison showed us an outfit that she picked up at a big name retail store. The same exact outfit, down to the handbag was at T.J. Maxx. The shocker was that T.J. Maxx was 50% less. That is a huge difference! I think this is a great opportunity to shop for picky teens!
From a holiday shopping standpoint, the selection was vast and the prices were right. I found so many cute gift baskets that would be perfect for teacher and family gifts. There were tables and tables like the one above. There were plenty of other things I would have never guessed to shop at T.J. Maxx for!
Marshall’s is giving one lucky reader an opportunity to spend $50 in their stores! Here are some ideas of what you can find in Marshalls & T.J. Maxx?
- Board Game
- Barbie & GI Joe
- My Little Pony
- Docking Stations
- Webcams
- MP3 Players
- Gourmet Coffee
- Wine Racks
- Bake or Cook Ware
- Candles
Did I mention that they have Starbucks coffee for about half of what I pay for it at the grocery store!

I discovered the store by accident two years ago when we purchased our first home… I literally bought my bedding, everything for both bathrooms, and a bunch of decor for the kitchen there.

A Coffee Maker! I have 2 boys, a husband, a dog and a full time business that I run from home and my coffee maker just perked it’s last cup of coffee. This, needless to say, is a disaster! I live on coffee. With trying to save money for the holidays though, I am now doing instant using my old teapot and this is also a disaster. So $50 would buy me a really great coffee maker and even some starbucks thrown in for good measure. :)
