Anyone who knows me can appreciate that I'm a bargain hunter! I'm like a 32 year old soccer mom stuck in a brown man's body. I'll stop dead in my tracks if I see a sign for 50% off or the such at any of my favorite spots. This was one of the first places that got me into the mindset of finding "good fashion at good prices." I always find something I like here so the selection is never the problem, it always a matter of if they have my size or if the "deal" is sweet enough. Kinda sad I know...
Aside the fashion, they have so much to offer regarding home goods. Before I got my own place, i remember frequenting TJ Maxx and finding so many cool things that I would soon need. The list ranges from name brand kitchenware like Le Creuset, Simple Human & Oxo to various knick knacks and glassware. This place has got it going on. I've been to the other similar discount stores but for me, none of them quite match up to TJ Maxx. This location specifically is also kept in tip top condition. I never see random shoes thrown about the store like other places nearby.
My one small gripe is that their kid's clothing section is laughable. Anytime I take a couple minutes to see what I might like for my son, it feels like the section only has like 40 offerings and that's it. Even within those 40 items, the kind of clothing they offer is either really casual t-shirt kinda stuff or extremely overpriced Tommy Hilfiger kinda stuff. Where's the happy medium nice clothing for my kid?
While the staff here mostly just seems beat up (I get it, I worked retail for a while) they are mostly a helpful lot and seem to at least try putting on a smile at the register. I do like that they don't try to force a credit card down my throat every time I buy something but of course they do try once every 3 or 4 times. With the competition making things so easy for them, I'll continue to spend my money here for quite some time! read more
