So different then buying preservative filled slop food from the grocery story..


Wait, I thought American chocolate was garbage and the European stuff was much better? But if it passes through the doors of a discount store, it becomes tainted, somehow?


How much chocolate do you consume that you need to buy it on discount from TJ Maxx? I mean seriously. If you enjoy chocolate, treat yourself once in a while to good, high quality stuff. Not garbage on the floor at TJ Maxx, after it sat in warehouses, boats, trains, and long-haulers for years.

Somehow? Yes, be mindful of the 12-24 months of disgusting logistics and warehouses involved before it made its way to the floor of a nasty ass TJ Maxx bottom barrel discount clothing outlet with a "discount" sticker on it to trick proles into thinking you're getting some screaming deal.

Anyway, I buy: tea, k pods for coffee (Starbucks, white mountain, dunkin), spices, vinegar, candy, and sometimes chips. Never ever had a problem.


You’re not saving any substantial sum of money. Some of you are just addicted to shopping and fake deals. Or just have no standards. This is a website for college educated parents in an expensive major city, you’re acting like a broke college freshman. It’s…low.


I make a lot of money and shop at TJMaxx very regularly. I live on the Upper East Side and there’s a well-stocked one five blocks from my home. I’ve found really great things (both home and designer clothing) there, often things that are still full-price on the original retailer’s website.

Last week I purchased a $275 Cuyana sweater for $39.95. I have the same one in a different color that I bought at the Cuyana store for full price in February. I’ve also gotten tons of kitchen items there, most recently a pair of Williams Sonoma kitchen shears for $5 that I saw selling for $25 at Williams Sonoma shortly afterward.

Being a snob about these kinds of stores is kind of gross in general, but your comment is actually inaccurate. You can absolutely find great stuff there. I get why people might not want to spend the time and effort to do that, but absolutely it’s possible.

The food isn't for the broke. It costs more to buy food there than at Aldi or Lidl.

Which brings up a good point--Aldi's chocolate is pretty good and cheap and very fresh because they have high turnover. So I would rather go there than TJ Maxx if I needed chocolate.

+1. The economy depends on idiots like these.


Yep. Keep spending idiots. Someone has to keep these places in business.

And it's only a savings if you buy stuff you otherwise would have gotten somewhere else, as opposed to adding on additional stuff. But it can be a fun way to try something different. I like their flavored coffees and the large packages of gnocchi.

To be fair, everything is cheaper and bigger at costco lol.

Oh no, not trashy! Can't be seen as trashy. Dumb all day long but NEVER trashy.

My wife likes pannetone so we have a tradition to go to tj Maxx or Marshalls in January to pick up a couple of discounted ones. They are a lot cheaper than mail order this way and we can try brands that aren't at our regular grocery store. We always finish it before the best by date, but we could also freeze it!
