I love TJ Maxx. When I lived in Rochester, the city did not have one. Naturally, when I move away…read morefrom a city, all stores that I like seem to set up shop. You're welcome, Rochester residents... haha! I was curious to find out whether there was a TJ Maxx. I did a search and found this store near Apache Mall. I decided to drive over here to check it out before heading to the mall. This store is in a plaza-mall hybrid. There was lots of parking on a snowy Wednesday afternoon. I parked and headed over to the store. It's an interesting setup where the TJ Maxx-HomeSense store feels like you are in a mall. You go through the main entrance and you walk over to the store in a mall-like setting. However, not all stores are accessible indoors. Many are set up like a plaza where you have an entrance for each store. It's weird. As with most TJ Maxx stores, the purses tend to appear first. I do miss the days when you could readily find Kipling purses. These days, you get Disney and Snoopy ones, which are still up my alley, but aren't as lightweight as Kipling ones. I tend to look at luggage. I had already bought a piece that worked well for my needs, but it never hurts to check this section out. I liked the selection. It had a number of pet duffle bags. It was my first time seeing them at any store's travel section. The face care section is impressive. I have never seen so many face wipes and masked neatly stacked. This store had purple Crocs. I don't own a pair, mainly because I can never find a pair in my size. I was so close here. One day, my dream will come to fruition. The kitchen accessories section made me happy. I found an oil spritzer with a glass base. I've always wanted one and it was at a good price here. Although the base is glass, it's pretty lightweight. I am also a sucker for small appliances. Mainly Dash products were available. I love this brand. I have mini griddle and waffle makers. I didn't need one, but they do make great gifts. The phone accessories section is great, too. I like checking out everything from car phone mounts to portable bank chargers. The lineup wasn't bad. I had a nice woman at the checkout. She looked at my oil spritzer and said that it would be good for plants. That's true, especially for cactuses and succulents that don't require a ton of water. I paid with a credit card. The transaction was straightforward. I thanked the woman and left with my purchase. I'm thrilled that Rochester has a TJ Maxx. It has a decent selection of items that interest me. I'd come back when I'm in southern Rochester. (29)

The manager is a real treat at this store. I purchased catnip infused bubbles for my cat and some…read morecat treats. The "bubbles" were a glue like consistency and there was no way you could blow bubbles through the wand of glue. The cat treats were rock hard. I brought the items back the next day and explained the issues. The manager proceeded to take the bubbles out and attempt to blow bubbles herself, which of course was impossible. She then said she could refund my money for that item, but not for the cat treats since my cat "didn't like them". She suggested I donate them to Paws and Claws. I told her no cat would eat those because they are rock hard and told her to throw them away. She refused to refund my money. What a joke. I suggest you do not purchase anything here that you think you may have to return.

My love for Macy's happened years after I had left living in Rochester. I like that there are always sales going on. Macy's ignited my love for Style & Co. clothing and Kipling handbags. I decided to check out this Macy's. I had never been since it became one. The women's washroom has a couch when you first walk in, which looked classy. The washrooms need better maintenance, though. The stall that I was in was great. I can't say the same about the one next to it. I liked the sale happening on ugly Christmas sweaters. 70% off them is a great deal if you plan on wearing it to the company Christmas party and winning the ugly sweater competition. There are a number of them that will get you that crown or tiara. I loved hitting the Kipling handbag section. It had heavily reduced items. I also saw a bit of a shift with its signature monkey, from the fuzzy one on each back, to silver ones. The fuzzy ones are iconic and cute. The silver ones are definitely easier to clean and maintain. I didn't buy anything, but I loved looking at merchandise that I like, including jewellery. I'd come back and hope that they do something about the washrooms. (25)

When I lived in Rochester, MN, I couldn't tell you whether there was a dollar store at the time. I…read morewas a different shopper back then. My grocery stores of choice were Rainbow (rest in supermarket peace) and Hy-Vee. ShopKo (also in department store heaven) and Walmart were my stores for cheaper items. While I was briefly in the city back in late September, I decided to check out this Dollar Tree. It's on the southwest corner of Highway 14 and Broadway Avenue South, near the ear of corn water tower. It's roughly a three-minute drive from Trader Joe's. I was at that store getting a few food items for breakfast and lunch before driving over here. This Dollar Tree is in a plaza. Across from it is a Chick-Fil-A that I had never seen before. I parked and walked in on a Sunday evening. I like that each store is different. The stationery section was in front of me when I walked in. It looked like staff were doing stocking activities, so there were boxes everywhere. I did like the punny stickers in this aisle. I looked at the laundry detergent section. I tend to bring my own when I travel. Sometimes, I run out, so I like to check out what's out there. The Downy scent boosters were the right price and size for travel. I don't know what April fresh smells like. Rain? Flowers? I'm still intrigued. Dollar Tree tends to have a frozen food section, whereas Dollarama does not. I'm glad that I got breakfast items from Trader Joe's. This store was out of your traditional frozen breakfast items. Ice cream was also limited. I saw key lime pie. Two individual slices. I got a box. I was also happy to see mandu. I didn't get them, but I may have to next time. I did load up on snacks. I got the last bag of Sweet Chaos white cheddar popcorn. I also got Skinny Pop, mini Oreos, and Candy Pop with mini M&M's. There was only one staffer at the checkout. There were two folks in front of me. The lineup moved fast. The staffer was friendly. I paid with a credit card as she bagged my items. I tapped and paid. I thanked her, grabbed my bag full of snacks, and left. I will say that Sweet Chaos does a better job with popcorn and drizzle, such as caramel or chocolate, than going with plain white cheddar. It was okay, but other varieties of white cheddar popcorn are better. My snacks did last the full four days that I was in the Twin Cities. The key lime pie slices were excellent. Each slice was perfect to satisfy my love for tart key lime dessert. I'd get them again. I'm glad that I stopped by my first Dollar Tree in Rochester. I hope that the frozen food freezers will have more items the next time I'm back. (406)

The women's washroom is clean. I have no complaints. I had a Wild game to catch in St. Paul, so I didn't spend a lot of time here. I did like seeing all the sports apparel. All major Minnesota teams, including the Gophers, are represented here. There was a sale going on where you buy one item and get the second for 50% off. I rarely shopped at JC Penney when I lived here. However, in recent years, I have grown to love it. It has a Sephora section, which has been handy when I needed a replacement brush for my Clarisonic Mia facial device. The store is brighter and cheerful compared to what it used to be. It was nice to check it out again after many years. (6)
