[@tjme]

I always shop the week after major shopping holidays for the new markdowns. More to choose from/more stock, great clearance prices. And no matter the time of year, I always browse the purse isles. Never pay full price for a name brand handbag!

[@joshszooofanimals5416]

Great video, I'm doing videos like this uploaded a new video last night

[@autumnraine3209]

As a worker at a TjMaxx, I can tell you that our markdowns are usually done in order of what arrives to us in our shipments. So we could have one shirt on clearance and an identical one at regular price because it came to us on a later shipment sold to us by the same vendor. My store only goes by this system and often refuses to manually adjust the price if our system doesn’t automatically mark it down, so approaching a cashier about a price discrepancy may not result in getting the clearance price you see. That decision is up to the discretion of the supervisor on duty though, so it doesn’t hurt to ask

Best deal? I actually found my husband at TJMaxx! We met while working together in a store in MA. We've been married 28 years. My kids call it the mothership. So now when an associate at checkout asks if we found what we were looking for, we have a good laugh and tell them. : ) Edit: Aww thanks for the sweet responses. You are all great. I guess I should add that we have EIGHT kids. : )

[@LaurynJuhl]

Great video! As a former TJ Maxx manager, I’ll add my two cents: • Despite popular belief, the yellow ticket isn’t necessarily the final price. Yellow tickets get marked down two additional times before they’re liquidated. If you’re able to befriend a markdowns associate (they usually work M-F mornings), you might be able to get some insider info about when/if things are getting marked down further. • In general, you can get a lot of markdown info if you can befriend a markdown associate or a manager. Technically we’re not supposed to give away when markdowns are, but if we like you, we’ll probably give you the scoop. 😉

[@cluisap]

[@fluffytail6355]

Tip of my own - if you find something there that you love, buy it! Chances are when you go back, it won’t be there. Especially with items you need to match such as drapery - I needed 4 panels to cover my living room window so I took everything I needed right away while it was in stock. With their 30-day return policy, you’re better to buy the item and see if you like it or if it suits your decor - if it doesn’t, it’s easy to return in less than a month. Additionally, don’t be stuck on buying matchy matchy sets! Sheet sets already come with fitted sheet, top sheet and 2 standard pillow cases so select a different color for the shams or duvet cover - no need in having everything monotone. Also, since the store gets daily shipments Monday to Friday, you might go back a few days later and find something that would coordinate perfectly. The store usually carries the same brands - Pure Living Bamboo, Kate Spade, Perry Ellis, Hilfiger, etc so don’t panic right away if you love a particular brand like this and don’t see it one day - chances are the beans will have more in-store selection in stock again in a few days or a few weeks. Keep in mind that some stores stock more of one item than a nearby store. The store a town away, stocks lots of the “Skinny Girl” brand coffee flavours and drapery while the store in my town has more pet supplies and luggage. The store on the other side of my town has more children’s clothes and kitchen ware. Supply varies based on shopper’s habits in the store’s immediate trading area and it’s square footage in the retail space.

[@KJ-oon]

Great information, thanks for sharing.

[@gigireddick3239]

Excellent tips thank you so much!!

[@clauaome25]

Daily shipments?? Omg!!

[@jenricardo9905]

I used to work for them, and as far as I know, they do not have “knock offs.” They have a long standing commitment with the brands, so they make deals with them directly and they will make the clothes specifically for the store. That’s why they might have the store in the label. It’s a promise that the store will always buy from them, and that’s how they get good prices directly from the brands.

[@daphnemacleod]

That was always my understanding as well.

[@prettyonem4075]

This makes more sense, thank you

[@elizabethpolson7189]

It seems like most of the heavily discounted brand items are just last season's leftovers. I'm fine with that...makes for great product and excellent discount.

[@patmingione6238]

Hello everyone, as an employee of TJ Maxx, I just wanted to point out a few things. It might be a little bit of an exaggeration to say you can haggle on prices. Anything labeled “As Is” is typically labeled like that to let associates know that that is the final price for the item and it has already been markdown for any associated issues. If you find something damaged and not marked down, there is a spreadsheet held behind the counter that dictates what price it can be reduced to. It’s possible depending on the item, damage, and people involved that you might be able to get something like $2 below this if you’re going to buy it and get it out of the store. However, this is really an exception to the rule rather than the rule, so as a cashier I ask for everyone to not expect this as a given when at cash out. In regards to the return policy, you’re absolutely right about the extended return policy at the end of the year. Just to clarify a bit more though, typical return policy is within 30 days with receipt back on method of payment, over 30 days with receipt is store credit with tax, over 90 days with receipt is store credit no tax. As for no receipt but we can identify the item in our system you get store credit, though in CT it’s law that you lose tax on the transaction, but I’m not sure about elsewhere. And just for fun, I want to explain the red tag bonus content at the end. In the case of the white shirt, I can see on the tag that the style number starts with 56 and can’t read the rest. The $5 red tag has a style number of 162697. If the style numbers don’t match, it’s not the right ticket for the clothing item. Also like mentioned a bit in the video, items are marked down based on time spent in the store, with older items having gone potentially through more than one markdown cycle. However, this means that we can get two identical shipments of clothing, but the clothing that was in the store first will be marked down while the new shipment will not be. The key here is that each shipment of that identical piece of clothing will have a different style number on its tag which will identify whether it is or isn’t available for a price match with a discounted version of the clothing in the store. This is stuff that I’d love for all my customers to know, though I can’t obviously expect anyone to when we all shop at a ton of different stores. Other than these few things, I think it was a great video that really highlights how to maximize your savings at TJ Maxx.

I used to work at TJMaxx, it was like working at a higher end scavenger hunt. I still love going in to find things-especially for special occasions. Great list!

[@annasamson532]

The “pricing errors” also come from the fact that if we get multiple of one item but at different times they’ll basically “time out” and it’ll clearance for being there too long vs it’s “newer” version. I asked about this a lot when I first started at Marshall’s “why is this one on clearance but the same thing over here isn’t?” It’s based on when they come into the store :)

[@reubenherrera9827]

I am here in Calabasas California. In a neighbor city of WESTLAKE Village we have a very *small* TJ MAXX with a *Runway* *Section* . Did not know what it was till I saw Heather Locklear there at near closing time shopping there. The employees made comment on how she ONLY goes straight there to mens; often VERY late. I asked about that men's section. They told me about deals, actual labels (PURPLE) diff, etc. Got a Polo by Ralph Lauren lambskin jacket for $269-original price $899, leather Tom Ford pants $229-orginal price $569. PURPLE LABELS are the key.

[@NotTheMomma]

I used to work for TJMAXX for about 4 years. I started as a part time cashier, ended as a key holder. I wanted to be a buyer. Depending on the traffic of the store and the sales will determine how often the store gets shipments. Some stores will get shipments everyday, other stores will get shipments a few times a day. If your store seems to always have crap, its probably a dump store. The store opens to employees around 7 (I think 🤔) and there is a mark down schedule that's must be complete within about a week or two. The red tickets are first scans, yellow tickets are last scans. That's where you can find items at their lowest like pennies on the dollar. This is about twice a year I think. Honestly depending on your store, they'll take anything back anytime. As long as you have at least the number sequence at the top of the receipt we can put that in the system to pull the product.

I’ve been in TJX corporate in product development for the last 16 years. A lot of the info on here is true. I want to note that our license agreements we have with brands is a true relationship with the brand and all of our designs are reviewed by the brand before we go into production. Our goal is to always fit the brands DNA and ensure the quality is upheld to the brands standards. So they are definitely not knockoffs.

[@zzizahacallar]

Thank you

[@brittb1983]

Coming from HomeGoods: 1) TJX sequels their stock..meaning that if you see something in July, you will probably see it again next July. 2) the tags at HG have the month/yr listed on the tag, so you know when it came into the store. If you see two items that are the same and onw of them is marked down, you should check the dates on the tag. It likely means that they have had one for three months and one that is newer. 3)Markdowns happen every two to three months. The best time to take advantage of markdowns is early January and Late Summer. 4)The red tags have a 4 digit number followed by a letter. I can't speak to the meaning of the "M" shown in the video as HG and TJMaxx have different rules on some things...but the I stands for Initial. This means that the item has only undergone the first round of markdowns. The S stands for Subsequent. This is the second round of markdowns. Once the item hits subsequent, they most likely won't mark it down any more. 5) Seasonal items will get the initial markdown, then the subsequent markdown, and then get zeroed out and trashed. So if you want the seasonal item, you better grab it. 6) That actually goes for anything...if you see it, you better grab it. It's better to buy it and return it than you think it's going to be there when you come back. 7) If you see an item without a price, find something similar and take both up to the cash register. That way you don't have to wait for a price check.

[@lorirowell8003]

Hi Brittany…TY for sharing insider info! I’m wondering how to tell what the original date of an item is ? I’ve heard numerous people talk about things being on a 24 month cycle but still don’t understand how do you know when an item originally came to the store when reading the tag? (The tag has the number 17 then it’s the 17th month of a 24 month cycle but how do you know the starting point?)

You just take the item, you don't even need a bag or a box, over to Kohl's and they have an Amazon return there. The return literally takes 30 seconds. Plus, you receive a 25% coupon for Kohl's. I personally don't care for Kohl's but for people who shop at Kohl's, that is a hefty discount. Even if I may pay a little more for a particular item, it's worth it for less hassles.

Amazon has the same pods for .31 per pod. I’m so glad I take the time to do the math and research! I really enjoy your program and I especially like the way you dress!

[@itsmekte]

Hi Marshall’s cashier here, the bargaining thing ONLY works if the damaged item you found does not have a marked down tag already. Unless you can prove there is a new issue with the product, we can only apply a 10% markdown each time. I’ve had people come up to me and try to bargain more and more and then bring up my coordinator and bargain with them and waste time in line. We can’t give more than 10% off at a time. Also if you see something with a yellow tag, it means it does not go any lower and we will just throw it away (mark out) if it is returned or given a new reason to mark down. As for the two same items with different prices, look at the u line code above the price. If they have different codes we can’t match the price. Loved working at Marshall’s but people definitely got too comfortable yelling at teenagers just trying to do their jobs.

[@zzizahacallar]

Thank you for the info. Yeah that's so greedy.

[@ms.cellaneous7458]

That last bit about bedding and not finding matching items literally made me laugh remembering what happened to me several years ago. I found a beautiful Ralph Lauren comforter and 1 matching fitted sheet. There are several TJ Maxx stores around our area. Over the next few months I went to other stores and managed to pick up the flat sheet, dust ruffle, pillow cases, and 1 pillow sham. About 3 months after finding everything except the 1 additional sham we took a little road trip. Along the way we saw a TJ Maxx so I stopped, ran in and YES they had the pillow sham I needed. I was so excited. A few days after returning home, I got out all the pieces, ready to transform my bedroom. Just one problem. It had taken so long to accumulate everything (total about 6 months) I really no longer liked or wanted it. I had kept all receipts so I took everything to the closest TJ Maxx and returned it all! The clerk was exceptionally nice and I told her that the next person who really liked this pattern would at least get all pieces at once. We laughed about it, I got my refund, and left. I now make sure I can get everything at once so this doesn't happen again.😊👍

I found a gorgeous royal blue designer winter coat at TjMaxx many years ago at a ridicuously low price. I later found it on the designer’s website. They listed the price around $350.00. From the photo on the website I could see why it ended up at TjMaxx. The buttons on the collar were positioned wrong, so the collar didn’t sit quite as it should. That was a simple and cheap fix by my alterations person. It would have been fine to leave it as is, but it did look better after it was corrected. I was quite proud of myself for that find, and I still have that coat over 13 years later and a move to Europe.

Thanks for the informative video, although I have stopped at TJMaxx and Marshall's before you were born. My favorite snag from TJMaxx was in Charlotte NC. I found a purple tagged, gorgeous Italian lace blouse with invisible zipper in the back. Someone had stripped the zipper, leaving it impossible to untangle much less try on. The original TJMaxx price was over $200. marked down to $5 on clearance. I have seen similar lace items in Italy and knew that it was going home with me. I bought a new invisible zipper for $14. and took it to a local person to repair. I invested $20. the seamstress charged $5. but I gave her $20. So, $40. for a drop dead gorgeous blouse was an amazing deal. Never pass up something that needs a repair. Most times you still come out ahead.

Tjmaxx is my favorite store and close to where live , I go N shop more often than I should but I know most of the employees by shopping there and even my pet loves the store, thank you for the tips!

[@iluvhou]

I understood this one. Thanks for all the work you put into these shopping excursions and videos.

I was actually in a TJ maxx and some guy was picking up at least 4 Dooney and bourke handbags while talking on the phone about the colors, next thing I see him walking out the door with all of them! The getaway car was right out the door! Unbelievable

[@krystleday382]

I used to work at tj maxx def find out what day your store receives its shipment!!! Now you DO NOT want to go on the day the truck arrives cuz the truck can come at any time during that day, they have to hang up all clothes, add sensors, and they also need time to put it out on the sales floor so I recommend going a day or two after the day the truck comes!!!! If you go the day after ask an employee working the sales floor if the entire truck has been put out on the salesfloor yet or is there stuff in the back to be put out still!!!! So typically home toys and beauty goes out alot faster and before clothes since clothes needs hung and sensored!

[@normac17]

Thank you for sharing.

[@deedeemarie]

Excellent info! I’m a TJMaxx addict and I STILL learned some extremely useful tips. Thank you and please keep your videos coming!!

[@cfoster6804]

I usually buy high end hair products from TJ Maxx. I've been a product junkie of hair products and tools for years so I know what most of them are priced at elsewhere. I find that most of the compare pricing on those items is actually lower than what they retail for originally. I don't know why the hair stuff is like that but that means I get an even better deal.

[@carmelitaharrison6614]

I love TJMaxx ; it’s on top of my favorite store. I love to go shopping on weekdays because it’s less crowded and glad you confirmed it that it’s the best time to go coz that’s when they get new arrivals and clearance items

[@rainacherienne1010]

How do you go on the weekdays if you work day job?

[@violetnewby]

I don't buy a ton of things at TJMaxx, but generally know that I'm getting a great deal on those things I do purchase. Thanks, Matt!

[@virginiacannon2023]

I purchased my dog's bed from TJMax. It is my dog's favorite bed. She has 4 beds in the house. One for each room. Her least favorite bed is the one my adult son purchased from Walmart.

[@OrangeCat939]

Same! I buy so much pet stuff there!

[@carolfraner5819]

I didn't know my little lap dog was allowed in the store. I'll shop there more knowing this.

[@christinelokits2939]

I buy pet beds from” my pillow”, they are completely washable... the inside and the removable cover.

I’ve never heard of gift card reselling sites! Could you create a video of the pros & cons of using such services? As always, thanks for sharing your videos.✌🏼

[@JRPLawyeress1]

I worked P/T at TJMaxx for 5 years. After January inventory, around 1/7 and after, are yellow tag markdowns. And right before school starts in the fall. They get some amazing deals. One year I found a beautiful coat in my size hanging on the end of some clearance pajamas. I checked online. It was on clearance at Nordstrom for $220, regularly $450. I got it for $25. It was in perfect condition. The best deal I ever found was an Alaïa purse. I didn’t know the brand, but it looked expensive, smelled like good leather and was made in Paris. I went online. It was a $2,000 purse. It had been returned to our store from a runway store. Their original price was $259. It was marked down to $59. I even went to the manager to make sure it wasn’t a mistake. She said it’s mine for $59, plus my discount. We used to carry good watches but not lately. They’re a better price than anywhere, Costco, Amazon. One year I got a Movado Museum watch for my husband for $89 final clearance. Those were all authentic. I learned something new. I did not know some of the designer clothing are knockoffs. I’ll need to check them more carefully next time I shop. Their jams, jellies, olives, gourmet foods are a really good deal. So are cosmetics, health aids and beauty products. At least half price and sometimes 75% less, even on high end things. Generally, women’s undergarments are very good prices. With yellow tag items, keep the receipt and keep the tags on until you’re sure you don’t need them. Jewelry returns always require receipts. I buy pet toys, beds and treats there. Baby clothes are really discounted. I’ve bought gifts that I knew were expensive and they were probably 75-90% off. Obviously, even the employees spend a lot of money there. My daughter still works there. It was a fun place to work. I was retired from something else, so I did it until the lockdowns. If you see a lot of yellow tags but you’ve got something with a red tag, ask at the front if there has been an additional markdown. They can check for you. There’s a machine. If something is slightly damaged, they’ll usually give you 10% off if you ask. It’s an easy summer job or weekend job for for kids, too. They hire at 16, possibly 15, are very flexible with schedules and they are looking for people. A lot of college kids would come back and work during breaks. I think pay starts at $12/hr now. My daughter has fun there, too. I’d worked at three, high-end retail stores at Christmas seasons or summers during college when I was young. It wasn’t as fun. People seemed pretentious. Not there. I guess I’m a recruiter. Happy shopping.

Love those stores!!

[@homevideos7113]

Great!! I always wondered when they reduced the prices. So true about bedding. I bought a set that I loved. Went back the very next day and they were gone. Not only at that store but 2 other stores. Better to buy it and take it back than not buying it in the first place.

[@CactusBaby]

Thank you! I learned something that I didn’t know….the brand name clothing licensing thing, wow!

[@TNexpert]

Yeah

[@kennyhardy1884]

One of the things I found in TJ Maxx is sometimes you will find two exact items with different prices and the explanation as told to me by the store manager is it often depends when it comes in, as the first item has been there longer they will mark it down to get it sold to make room for newer shipments, even though the same exact item may come in a newer shipment it will have a higher price due to it being nu-stock

[@normac17]

My experience too 😊

[@parabellum1002]

My TJ Max shopping secret, buy their wrapping paper. It’s high quality stuff, a descent amount on the roll and it’s $3.99 (at my store) if you compared it to Walmart or Target it’s still a better price (Target is $5.99) but TJ is still thicker and better quality.

[@Nub1anPrincess]

This was so helpful. Thank you so much. No more shopping on the weekends at TJ Maxx for me.🤑😁

[@p.maryyayabear7078]

I must keep myself out of TJ because I ALWAYS find a "deal" there!

[@natalieoliver2837]

I worked in the stockroom, on the trucks, I had a stacked of merchandise everyday put aside, my paycheck was spent and more by the end of the week, i was like a kid in a candy store, can’t beat there prices, every time I opened a box it like Christmas, you never know what’s in them

[@AWBeng]

[@allisonstanton5037]

I hate shopping but love all your tips and your personality. Well done! Thank you so much for taking some of the pain out of shopping!!!!

[@preciouseonghwa8217]

Pro Tip: If you see something you want **BUY IT RIGHT NOW!!!** Do not wait!!! It will be gone forever!!! You can always return an item within 30 days if you decide you don't want it. But if you're shopping & you think to yourself, well I like this but I'm not really sure if I want it so I'm going to think about it & come back later - DON'T DO IT! The item will most likely be gone & you won't be able to find another one anywhere ever again. Trust me!!! Just buy it now!!!

[@lindsaylouis79]

As a Marshall’s employee make sure to tell them stop switching the tags when they return something and stop returning trying tjmaxx things at Marshall’s

[@TheGenerator26]

Yes. Marshalls =/= TJMaxx, despite both being under TJX. This means that you can’t return Marshalls items to TJMaxx and vice versa. I don’t give a shit if you have to drive 30 minutes away, the store literally cannot process the item.

[@michellebiggerstaff6841]

LOVE TJ Maxx. For my local store, Thursdays seem to be the best days, at least for the stuff I'm looking for. Thanks for the info.

[@thedealguy]

Good tip Michelle!

[@OrangeCat939]

And Wednesday at mine! Monday is the worst!

[@Catlady8]

I currently work at tjmaxx and we get new items everyday besides Sunday. The weekend is just trash period because the line is crazy long and the store is super cluttered with people and displaced product.

[@shellbhouse7923]

I HAD to come here right away - ( I usually only hit a like button - but really wanted you to know how much I love your style and content - from just this one video!) you showed up in my feed when I typed in a search for TJ Maxx (before I even typed in what I was looking for), and just had to watch this! Halfway through, I looked you up and SUBSCRIBED!! Where have you been in my life all this time?? I so much enjoyed the video, and your warm and sincere delivery!! I'm now heading to an Aldi video, and saw a Dollar General one that caught my eye 😆!! I will be passing your channel along to everyone I know!!

I love your videos lots of great info. My phone kept switching out of your video and I had to keep switching back. I don’t shop at TH MAXX but sure will now! Very good help with that!

[@Pixels_and_Points]

The best deals I've gotten from any of their related families of stores is when there's no price tag on something. They ask you to find anything similar in the store (say a pot by a different brand but of a similar size). Then, you take both to the register, and they suggest a price (always lower) and make a tag for the item. Note: Do not abuse this, but it's a great deal when possible.

[@karinbran3707]

This is very true, unless you happen to get a cashier that also works the floor and knows his/her stuff. Then you will get the correct price.

[@TheGenerator26]

I don’t think the price would always be lower, most of the time it would be the same price, not a different one…. That’s why they find a similar item to price match

[@taraleigh3659]

I love me some TJ Maxx. Thank you for the new info!

[@thedealguy]

Thanks for watching Tara!!

[@Shadowcrypt77]

Loved this video! I love TJ Maxx and this helped open my eyes to how to shop there. Thanks Matt!!

[@joel0772]

I worked at marshalls, the yellow tags are a purge that happens either every 6 months or year. It’s to reduce the amount of items in the store for inventory day which is usually around the first few days of january. whatever doesn’t get sold after the end of the purge, everything gets thrown away :-)

[@TheGenerator26]

Or donated, like for clothes usually

[@diannshowers9129]

Everything comes in with price tags already on the items. The reason there may be 2 different prices on identical items is because all merch doesn't come in at the same time. The longer an item is in the store the chances of a price reduction is likely. Sometimes its not simply the vendor. So keep an eye out for stuff all over the store. We didnt always put stuff into a clearance area

[@myragold3213]

I ❤️ TJ Maxx, I live in Australia Qld, I love the ornament glass section, really cheap and unique, gorgeous products and cheaper than second hand stores such as st Vincent de Paul, red Cross etc. I love the uniqueness and great prices and good quality products for the price.

[@aurorahenry6283]

I live in the suburbs of Houston Texas, and I used to get designer labels at my ritzy store, the prices were comparable to the 70% of the mayor designer prices. I have worked very upscale stores all my life, the problem is that many times you could get better prices if you waited for the designer final sale than the T. max or Marshall’s.

[@AshzxQuidYT]

So important to know that! and I agree, clearance at the actual store is generally cheaper.

[@asiahellis3145]

[@CelesteClaverie1789]

"AS IS" is "final pricing" no more reductions per company policy.

[@mastershake3040]

Yes-I worker at TJ for a while and it was company policy to not mark down anything already on clearance. Ppl would get written up for it!

That's awesome that they allow pets inside! Firm and Fleet does as well, but they're more of a farm store so I was surprised about TJ Max, but HAPPY 😃 Helpful Info!

[@3DJapan]

I'm reminded of an old trick when Circuit City was still around. Their website often had lower prices than the store and they would price match their own site so I would always check the site before buying anything at the store.

[@FourJaysFour]

Target does this too. Always check the online price. Ask for a price match. It can be several dollars less

[@mulliganstew72]

Great tip!! Lots of stores have different prices online vs in store. Who knew?!

[@MollyPitcher1778]

I don't get out to shop anymore but I used to love TJMaxx. I still have a top that is my favorite, I don't care how old it is. They had some of the most interesting and different home decor & kids clothes. I could always find something for anyone while shopping for gifts.
