Marshalls

TJ Maxx and Marshall’s vie for my preference depending on the city and specific store.
In Chattanooga, there is a TJ’s and a Marshall’s by Hamilton Place. The TJ’s is not nearly as good as some I’ve been to, namely the one in Mt. Pleasant SC on 17 and the one in Brookhaven in Atlanta, so Marshall’s wins this round.
Needing work shoes — all black, non slip and this time preferably some kind of athletic shoe not the ugly restaurant shoes ubiquitously worn and hated by bartenders and servers everywhere — and voila, done. Black NB with just a little touch of silver threaded through the laces. Good price at under $ 50.
We also perused the other sections and while there were a lot of cute home décor items, we were disciplined and did not stray into that territory. We did find some cute pj’s for me, two sets of tank/​short duos, one Tahari and one Free People, both under $ 17. Mom insisted on getting them for me as a spring-​into-​summer sleeping treat.
Good spot for a lot of your bargain shopping needs.

One of the cleanest and most well-​organized Marshall’s stores in the U.S. (I’m on a mission to visit them all.)
