Thanks, TKM, for keeping the clothing part of our journey within budget. As I always sing, in the words of an old commercial jingle, "Man bekommt maximal für wenigstens am TK Maxx."

For example, here we scored some Berlin shirts to bring home for souvenirs for a fraction of the price of the souvenir shops elsewhere in the Alexanderplatz area. It definitely can be hit-or-miss, but I feel that's the case for every store, really. The lines can also be long but we didn't do too bad outside of the person behind us with some terrible BO, not that's Primark's fault!

Date of visit: May 30, 2024…read more TJ Maxx in the United States is one of my favorite places to look for bargains, but that is not so much the case in Europe with their similarly-named TK Maxx brand. This is the second one I've visited and haven't been impressed with either outlet. This store is not lacking for merchandise, it actually seems to be packed to the rafters with stuff, too bad the prices aren't all that good or I would have helped them take some things off their hands! There is a nice variety of brands and it was cool to see some that you don't tend to find stateside, but between the inflated prices and the exchange rate with the Euro, it didn't make much sense to buy anything here--especially when Primark is close by and is far better organized.

Back to my regular review, this TK Maxx store is quite a large branch in Alexanderplatz, it is located in a good location in the area, fairly close to the train and metro stations and next to a fairly nice branch of Italian chain Vapiano. I originally called in this store just to take a browse and see what it is like, as I've never seen a TK Maxx branch outside of the UK before, meanwhile they are branded as T J Maxx in the United States, and obviously the same branding as the UK of TK Maxx seems to apply here in Germany. The store had pretty much the average layout with a few added things such as a limited selection of alcohol. The overall feel of the store was good, yet the service and product range as a whole was just OK, mainly down to this and considering the location in Alexanderplatz in Central Berlin, I feel this branch deserves a three star rating.

I often joke with my wife that it's like having our own personal pantry next door! When we need something Monday thru Saturday between 08:00 and 21:00, we just stop in! They have just enough of the basics to keep me coming back, and the price is reasonable. For more complex shopping needs, I go to the Edeka two blocks NW on Schwedter. Apart from the usual psychological trauma inflicted by the German grocery experience, my biggest complaint is how small the place is. It's not that it's not that it lacks product, it's just too small to accommodate both shoppers and stockers at the same time. There are always pallet jacks being barreled around by obviously annoyed girls that both run the registers and fill the shelves. It seems I'm always in the way and this generally earns me some pretty nasty looks from the staff. I know, I know, wasting people's time is a taboo in this culture, but sometimes there is nowhere to be when you are blocked in on one side as a pallet of pasta noodles hurls your direction. At first, my nerves were tattered by this, and I guess now I'm jaded because I just expect it and laugh at the absurdity of it all. Also, don't take your hand basket through the line. Alarms will sound as if an actual offense has taken place. No one will tell you if you naively proceed down the line toward the register. It's every man for himself in the German grocery experience. If you're new to it all, don't worry, you'll get the hang of it!

Nothing is ever open late and nothing is open at all on Sunday (like anything pretty much in Berlin). For a country that prides itself on beer, it's a real sad situation that all the markets only have beers that cap off at an ABV of 5%. You can find stronger at their version of bodegas, but not at the markets or restaurants or bars. Also, you can find a small cart at some markets, but no hand baskets and no bags (you have to bring your own or buy them there). So, with nothing to hold your groceries, you see whole families with every member holding as much as they can in their arms. Anyway, they had cheap beer, so that was good.
