TJ Maxx

This is quite seriously, the most magical TJ Maxx in all the land.
I had considered myself a TJ Maxx connoisseur… I’m a rewards member, most of my housewares come from our local TJ Maxx in Dartmouth. I get great candles there and stuff. But I didn’t realize there were special «high end» TJ Maxx stores.
But, I met a woman at our local, sad mall who had moved here after 35 years in Manhattan. She was the one who told me about this store and she said it’s the only decent place to shop near us. Boy, was she right.
I walked in and instantly found racks of brands like Joie, Helmut Lang, Rag & Bone, Joe’s Jeans, Tory Burch, Free People and more. I wanted to hug the racks and cry! I am a California transplant and while I love the south coast of MA there are two things I miss more than anything: the food and the shopping.
While the brands are amazing, the store could use a little help in the organization department. Be prepared to dig a little, but not as much as many other TJ Maxx stores I’ve seen. The staff is very friendly and eager to help. Also, their children’s section, while small, does have some cute stuff for my toddler. Last time I was there, I scored her a little 7FAMK outfit for $ 20 and some DKNY skinny jeans for 7 bucks. Not bad I say.
Overall, a decent way to spend a morning. Grab a Starbucks from across the street and come over here to find your zen moment. Be prepared to spend a couple hours to do some proper digging, but I promise, you won’t leave empty handed.

I think this might be my favorite TJ Maxx in the area. It’s never as crowded as the one in Warwick, and it’s always stocked with a few of my favorite designer-​y brands like Vince, Joie, Reiss and even Rag & Bone. Yeah, their Runway section is pretty stellar, especially the prices!
I always walk out of here with something fantastic. Once, it was a Helmut Lang sweater. The other day, it was with a Vince dress that was originally over $ 400… I paid less than half that for it. But the thing that excites me the most has got to be the jeans. The jeans! J Brand, Paige, Rag & Bone. It’s a gold mine. However, you need to be prepared to do a bit of digging and most definitely trying on. Also, don’t forget about their knits and tees — this place has oodles of super soft Splendid and James Perse tops, too.
Their home section isn’t the best, but just go next door to the HomeGoods and you’ll get your fix. While I’m crazy for their women’s section, the men’s is hit or miss, and the shoes are rarely a treasure trove. The bags section can be worth a quick peek through, but I haven’t ever seen anything to go crazy about like with the women’s apparel… Really, that what this TJ Maxx is all about for me!

For those Maxinista’s out there, you know each TJ Maxxx can be hit or miss. You might walk out of one like a bank robber or you might walk out of one having spent 2 hours looking at crap.
For this location, the situation is usually the former. Good brands, well organized, friendly staff and the pretty darn good selection. My wife always makes a few good finds here and 75% of the time I find a little something too, since I feel like TJ’s caters to females. I’m even a fan of the home goods and pet goods selections. Tons of parking too in the shopping center lot. Worth a look!

I like this TJ Maxx. It has a good selection, though I wish it had an expanded infant/​toddler section. I also like the the Home Goods is a separate store — that way you get more of what you want on each store. I have to admit that every time I’m in TJ Maxx I come out with way more that I thought I would. Secret things to find here (and in home goods if that’s the case Agave syrup!)

Messy home & kitchen departments. Glad there’s a Homegoods next door!
Good amount of accessories selections such as hangbags, scarfs, shoes…
Apparels…hmm… I never get clothes from TJ Maxx. just not my style…

I feel lucky — that is how I feel whenever I go into this store. I almost have to avoid it with all the good deals that I get there!
This store is super organized. I have never went inside it and saw a retail hell on Earth. My favorite section by far is the dress section. Calvin Klein, Maxx Studio and Free People are some of my favorite brands and I can get them all deeply discounted. Especially if they are on super sale!
I only wish the skirt section was better. I do not know what was going on this year, but the buyer needs to do a better job. Most were either super short or hippie-​esque. (Not good for workplace duds that is for sure).
I will continue to shop at this location because it is one of the best!

I have to admit, I’m a Maxx and Marshalls junky. I travel all over the country for work and one of my guilty pleasures is to walk the aisles of a TJMaxx or Marshalls and find a great buy. I have to admit this is one of the better ones I’ve been too. First time I actually saw Furs! The men’s selection is great (which is not always the case) and I’ve found everything from electronics, to computer bags, to great cashmere deals.
I highly recommend it.

Not impressed. Seems like everything in the store is black and white. Couldn’t find anything I liked despite the very large selection. Prefer Marshalls in East Providence for variety.

Every girl has a naughty little secret… thus after much deliberation, I’ve finally decided to share mine: this TJ Maxx.
TJ Maxx is just about the best priced down department store franchise, like ever. Unlike its sister company Marshall’s and other chains such as Burlington Coat Factory or AJ Wright, Ms. Maxx focuses solely on high priced designer brands including but most certainly not limited to Boho, JUICY, Coach, Dooney & Bourke, Betsey Johnson, B. Makowsky, Michael Kors, Tahari and much more. Specific brands carried usually vary heavily by location so depending on where you live and shop, you could end up with a dud. Out of all the locations in the RI area, this one is hands down the best. Not only is their hand bag section huge, they receive new items on a weekly basis especially from Dooney and JUICY. Their stock is well kept and constantly updated — on more than one occasion I’ve found bags that literally were released less than a month before online and at major retailers. However, one point to keep in mind is that while they do carry COACH bags, they can be few and far between.
The prices are perfect. I cannot even begin to list the ridiculous deals on items that I’ve practically snatched away for free. Everything from Vera Wang Princess gift sets to brand spankin new $ 1200.00 bags for $ 350. God forbid you have a credit card: it won’t take long before you max that puppy out. Their clothing selection is also pretty good especially in the JR sections: however I usually buy my clothing elsewhere with a few exceptions. Customer service appears to be sufficient especially with their new check out process of numbering the registers. I’ve never been approached with help or recommendations. in fact I’ve never actually seen anyone on the floor but really, for the prices of their items, I could give a damn.
Overall, I love TJ Maxx and I tend to attempt checking them out before running to Nordy’s or Macy’s for accessories. There is no worse feeling than spending $ 600.00 on a hand bag just to find out four hours later it’s $ 200.00 else where. Beware visiting on a Saturday though: by the end of the day the store usually winds up looking like a hurricane hit.
