I'd love to give HotBins more than 2 stars but the one time I went in, I found it wasn't as big of…read morea "treasure hunt" as it could be. You really have to pay attention to what you're doing and going through, and potentially going to buy. For example, Taped up boxes may not be what they seem, so you have to ask to open them (you can't open them yourself. There's a station you take it to and an employee inboxes it). Hotbins has specific dollar days where on Saturday "everything you buy is ten dollars an item" and Wednesday is "everything you buy is two dollars an item". Put 10 items in your cart (they have shopping carts and the Ikea big blue bag for your stuff) on a Friday, you're walking out the door paying $120 plus tax. There are items "priced as marked" and it can range in product. For instance, smart device charging cables were marked as $6 a cable (USB-C to Lightning, USB to Lightning, USB-C to USB, old style USB to whatever. Charging bricks I think were $6 too). There are bigger items marked as more or less than that days' discount (clothes, fragrances). I didn't catch the pricing on those, as it wasn't something I went over to look at. One challenge is, this store has stuff that is readily available at the dollar store (for example, I saw a twelve pack of Elmers Glue Sticks unopened. Going in on Saturday, I wasn't about to buy that for $10 when the Dollar Tree has the same package for 1.25 plus tax). Why spend over five dollars on a single item that you know you can get for a lower cost at another store and not on a discount? Yes, HotBins is a store of returns: Amazon, Target, Costco, etc. So it's possible twelve or ten dollars is well worth the expenditure if it's a big ticket item (an Amazon Echo Show holder for less than retail price? Sure, if you already have the Echo Show and want the holder), but even at the two dollar mark on Wednesday, there is still a possibility of paying more for the item than necessary. Again, you might be able to get a single $100 retail item for at least 75% off or more. So if it's something huge, you're getting a deal. BUT.. by mid week, it's slim pickings - store is closed on Thursday to restock the bins as they're open Friday to Wednesday. To reiterate the taping of the bosses: majority of the items are sealed and resealed. You must go to customer service to ask to see what it is, as the box description may not always match the item. The workers are more than happy to assist, and ask you don't open the boxes yourselves. If it's not something you want, they will repackage the item and put it back in a bin for someone else to pick up and ask. Overall, the store was clean and well lit. Music was on and not completely loud or in your face. Unfortunately I don't think I'd be back as I found it to be not a really great deal on the day I went.

I'm hesitant to write a review but I am unable to give them feedback on their Facebook page and feel they need to hear from typical shoppers that they are pricing out a great percentage of their potential patrons. I do know they have sales for specific color tags, but those are very few and far between. Even then, a 50 or 75% off price is what the item should have originally been marked for.

Last year I went to the store as well and purchased at least $700 in gifts, same with this year. I just have to tell you that Heather the manager has always been helpful. She has the girls go to the back and look for items I need for the gifts and opens up an extra register so all the items could be rang up and not to hold up any other customers. Today Jene helped me out with getting the items that I needed. She went through lots of boxes to find the small dolls, accessories for the dolls, toothbrushes, nylon backpacks. Alice help me as well bringing up the items and helping me carry stuff to the car. They all took turns helping me out. I cannot say enough, how helpful these ladies are and kind. They do it with a smile and with a lot of patience. I go to at least three difffernt dollar tree stores because it's a lot of different items that I need. The South Tamiami Trail store is my favorite, mostly because everyone is so great.

When you shop at TJ Maxx you pretty much always know what you get: a random variety of brand names and not-so-brand names items at a decent discount (items are prices below MSRP). The store has clothing, accessories, shoes, beauty products, and some housewares. I like finding unusual selections I most likely would not find elsewhere. Recently I purchased a hair serum/leave in conditioner that does wonders for my hair that I otherwise wouldn't have known about. :) The store is always clean and well organized and the associates could not be nicer and more pleasant and hard-working. There is ample parking in the plaza parking lot. I enjoy the seasonal items offered and enjoy perusing the shoe section as well. I have found some random pieces that make a nice addition to my house and wardrobe here. While you are in the area you might as well check out the houseware-centric sister store, HomeGoods, down the street. Happy shopping!

What I thought was going to be a quick in-and-out shopping experience turned into a slow shopping spree. Joke was on ME. So many good finds here! For example, back home we do NOT have high-end jewelry or even branded jewelry for that matter. They legit had GUCCI rings, necklaces, earrings and the best branded sunglass case I have ever seen at a secondhand distributor store. I may have to visit a TJ Maxx each time I go on vacations now, just to see the different products logistically placed for each area's demographic. Clearly my fashion and accessory choices reside in Florida.

The store mainly consists of clothing for men and women, but also has a limited range of home goods and pet items. I was impressed with the range of men's clothing with the section being as big as the women's. You can find lots of brands that are at a lower cost than they would be elsewhere where (though also maybe a season or two dated ...). In all I thought it was a decent store and I'd go back.

But in the same breath there were several employees that were so intent on restocking that they glared at customers for the crime of attempting to pick out their groceries. Or myself, who stood beside someone named Chris who absolutely refused to move and was almost irritated that I was making several selections from the same area, and not fast enough, that he clearly wanted to unload a box into. Since he refused to move I ended up walking away without several items. Like how are you angry at people for grocery shopping when you work at a grocery? Anyways... I love TJ's items, always will, I guess the misery at this location will be something we just have to withstand when we're home on Siesta Key.
