Ross is a run of the mill discount department store. Unlike a Marshall's or TJ Maxx, which generally sell nicer stuff from prior seasons and the like, Ross is more of a mixed bag. You get the occasional great find like a pair of DKNY jeans or Calvin Klein dress for virtually nothing but you have to sort through a whole lot of junk to do it. If you just want cheap stuff even cheaper, Ross can be useful.
