TJ Maxx in Happy Valley now that's where the holly-jolly magic kicks in. You wander in for "just a…read morecouple things," maybe a box of Keurig pods to tide you over until tomorrow, and suddenly you're jingling through aisles of candles, cozy throws, and those little stocking stuffers that practically beg to jump into your cart. I'm sipping my coffee, dodging reindeer-themed mugs and peppermint-scented everything while my wife disappears into the clearance section like it's Narnia. I'm over here like, "Babe, let's go ..She's over there holding up a $4.99 snowman figurine like it's the Holy Grail. But honestly? That's the charm. TJ Maxx feels like Santa's bargain basement festive, fun, and full of surprises you didn't know you needed. Whether it's bathroom goodies, last-minute gifts, or just a quick caffeine emergency fix, this place has you covered with a warm, twinkling glow. Four stars from us, because nothing says Christmas spirit like saving a few bucks while hearing sleigh bells in your head and trying to wrangle your spouse out of the clearance aisle.

Not a great experience due to a pricing issue. The under garment was marked down to $4.87 with a…read moreblack pen, however, it rang up as regular price. Then the guy said that markdowns are not marked off by pen. Then I told him that there were 2 of the same things marked the same way. I went to the shelf and showed him the other 2 items with the same pricing. He consulted with his coworker and decided to call the store manager. The manager said no and it would still need to be at regular price. I've never had this happen. Usually when there is a price difference and you find others with the same price, they honor the marked price. It was an unpleasant experience and probably need to revamp their policies to honor prices that are marked, especially if there are others with the same markdown price!

So this is the new Home Goods on 82nd Ave in Portland. It's been pretty hyped up by my friends but…read moreI had never been here. So I was in the area and stopped. Huge parking lot in a strip mall with many businesses. It was dark when I arrived and the parking lot was pretty dim with some lights burnt out. I don't like dark parking lots so found a light to park under. First thing I noticed when through the doors was Valentines items. I picked out a couple cards, cute red waffle iron and a set of kitchen towels for a gift. As I proceeded back further into the store there were several empty rows and a couple more partially empty rows. I was hoping for more but this location was pretty non-impressive. The one is Tualatin is wonderful and chuck full of items. They do charge for bags, 5 cents.

Yay, there is a new HomeGoods on SE 82nd! My car seemed to spot it before I did! While I was…read moreheading south towards Michael's, my car turned left down the drive towards HomeGoods, located in the strip mall with PetSmart. They took over an abandoned store, can't remember what was there, just know that having a HomeGoods here will definitely revitalize this little area. People were coming and going and it was quite crowded for a rainy Sunday. Maybe it's the time of year, but the large store footprint was not filled with goods like most HomeGoods. Many shelves and entire sections were bare. Like all HomeGoods, they had all the usual suspects - seasonal, gourmet food and snacks, gourmet chocolate, art, bedding, kitchen gadgets, bakeware, storage, small furniture, rugs, home decor, pet toys, beds and bowls, lamps, towels, pillows, bath accessories, faux plants and more! My favorite section is the gourmet food. It's a challenge for me to leave a HomeGoods without a bag of artisanal pasta! They have so many varieties and shapes not found in grocery stores in the PNW so when I see them, I have to purchase! I'm from an Italian American family with roots in NJ where the pasta aisles at grocery stores are a full aisle! So this section thatba,so contains olive oils, aged balsamic, roasted peppers, capers, pesto, artichoke tapenade and other Italian pantry items makes me very happy. The seasonal section is also a must. Right now it's exploding with all things pink, red, hearts and love for Valentine's Day. Those gnomes that used to be relinquished to the garden now find themselves dressed up for every season. Shelves filled with gnomes wearing pink hats and sweaters dominate this section. I'm in this area frequently running errands so no doubt this will become a regular stop.

We came to this mall around evening time on weekday. It wasn't too busy, though parking lot was…read moresuper full. It was spacious and pretty clean inside. There were a lot of popular and well known brands, including Macy's and JC Penny. There were few restaurants, bakery and a boba store available as well. But I also noticed few spaces were empty and paper cover on their glass doors. We came here to stop by Dave & Busters. There was no indoor entrance to D&B from the mall, we had to walk out from the main building to enter D&B. But overall this was a decent mall for shopping and dining in this area.

Five Stars The Mall That Still Gets It Right…read more Let me start off by saying this. I'd love to hit every single spot in here and give them all their moment, but you're only getting a handful of my favorites because this place is massive. And honestly, that's part of the charm. Clackamas Town Center is what a mall is supposed to be. You've got the movie theater, a legit food court, a full-on carousel, and hundreds of shops that'll keep you wandering longer than you planned. And here's something real. When it's hot outside or you've got kids bouncing off the walls, stepping into that air conditioning feels like you just made a life decision that matters. You'll walk this place and accidentally get your steps in. It's the kind of exercise you don't argue with. They've got little things that make a difference too. A koi pond that slows you down for a second. Kid corners where families can reset. It's not just shopping. It's an experience you can stretch into a whole afternoon without even trying. Now let's talk convenience, because this place nails it. TriMet runs right through here with both bus and MAX light rail access. There's a park and ride, which is clutch. You can literally park your car and take the MAX straight out to Portland International Airport and skip the airport parking headache. That alone makes this place a power move. And the surrounding lineup is stacked. You've got the Residence Inn right in the mix, plus food spots like Claim Jumper, Oswego Grill, Mezcaluna, and fun like Dave and Buster's. Whether you're eating, hanging out, or making a night of it, it's all right there. Fun fact time. This mall first opened back in 1981 and has gone through multiple expansions to become one of the largest shopping centers in Oregon. It's also one of the few in the region that still feels modern, alive, and constantly evolving while others have slowed down or faded out. Inside, you've got everything from AT&T to REI and more shops than you'll realistically hit in one trip. You can come here for a couple errands and somehow lose a few hours without regret. Only downside. Parking can be a mission. You might end up a bit of a walk out. But honestly, that just adds to the experience. More steps, more time, more reason to wander. In my opinion, this is the mall in the Portland area. The others might exist, but this one actually delivers. It's clean, it's modern, it's full of life, and it gives you a reason to come back. If you're anywhere nearby and wondering where to go, this is it.

When I entered the store, I wondered if they were still in business as there were hardly any people shopping. In an hour of wandering various departments in search of deals, I saw maybe 10 other shoppers. And only 2 fitting rooms open on the far ends of the store. But what I did find were a few really nice sweaters and several pairs of wide and straight leg jeans at really reasonable prices. I opted for a gorgeous teal, blue and plaid long, duster style cardigan with pockets. It's a Liz Claiborne, which I haven't purchased in years, but the colors, style and pattern was exceptional. On sale for $38 from $60, and a coupon for another 20% off bringing it to under $32.00, I couldn't pass on it. I'm so glad I didn't because it's absolutely stunning! Wish the cool weather would arrive so I can wear it! At the customer pick up counter, I went to retrieve the jeans I ordered online. It had been 4 hours since I placed the order, but I never received a message saying my order was ready. I was ready to leave, so went and inquired at the counter. Sure enough they had the jeans, but they are dealing with a transition to a new system so text messages weren't sent. Well, if the jeans had been there when I arrived, I never would have browsed the store to kill time, and wouldn't have found my new cardigan, so it all worked out.
