TJ Maxx

I don’t expect TJ Maxx to be great… they’re usually dirty, poorly organized and kinda seamy. This one impressed me… I had 3 people ask me if I could be helped and actually follow through, not act like their just trying to defer shoplifting (which is probably the point but they didn’t feel judge-​y.)
Couldn’t find socks in my size, after checking 2 places, the guy helping me found the right pair. I was in and out in 10 minutes with exactly what I came for. Was a really impressive TJ Maxx.

TJ Maxx can be hit or miss. But overall, they usually have something I like at a reasonable price. I always check out their handbags, shoes and housewares. For shoes, I have gotten some great brands for cheap, but sometimes the selection is obviously the shoes no one else wanted. But I can usually find a decent pair of black heels for work and flats for every day. The housewares has a lot of great staple kitchen and home goods. I bought my wine glasses and tumblers here, as well as all of my Polish painted pottery that I’ve slowly accumulated over several years. At full retail price, I would NEVER be able to afford this pottery so I’m extra happy with those purchases! My mom always buys her handbags here and they have a great selection of luggage as well if you’re in the market. I would also check them out for kid’s clothes and toys.
I don’t really shop in their clothing section anymore, as the clothes I have purchased where either 1. fit poorly, 2. had weird fabric care instruction 3. just not my taste.
Overall, TJ Maxx is definitely a good place to shop. You never know what you’ll find!
