[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marshall’s and TJmaxx are garbage. It’s offloaded stuff retailers couldn’t sell or clothing that is slightly defective to make a profit before it goes in the landfill. I once heard someone say TJmaxx is where stuff goes before you buy it and donate it to Goodwill and it’s so true. There is nothing that anyone needs at either one of those stores. [/quote]

I’m one of the PPs who likes TJMaxx. Like I said in my post, I totally disagree with this. You have to be discerning - there’s a lot of junky and/or battered items, but they have some nice stuff as well. Obviously you have to inspect everything closely and I often leave empty handed. But I live four blocks away so I can pop in on my lunch break or after the gym.

Recently I’ve gotten: a pair of Jason Wu contemporary pants on clearance for $20 (they are being sold elsewhere online for $300), a Theory tee for $30 (being sold at Saks for $70), a Vince sweater for $60, a YSL East/West tote for $1000 ($400 off the retail price). Also some really nice homewares, like a full set of Le Creuset mini cocottes for $10 each.

I totally get why people wouldn’t consider it worth the time or effort to sort through the store, but to say that all the merchandise is crap is just inaccurate. Although if that’s the perception, more for me I guess![/quote]

And there’s something ever so slightly off with all those garments even if you don’t see it. It’s a different fabric than the rest of the lots. The seams are off. The sleeves were made a little too long. My husbands family owned a garment factory in the 80s and guess where the defective lots went ! You got it. Your $30 shirt is not a $300 shirt. It’s a castoff shirt they tricked you into paying $30 for. [/quote]

Yeah, possibly. But it’s damage free, cut well, fits great, and looks nice with my other clothes. I’ll take the discount in exchange for whatever flaw exists if it’s imperceptible. [/quote]
