Tj Maxx

Husbands stay home. Husband seating area is not air conditioned. No wifi. Stay home. She doesn’t want you with her any way. Honey pick me up some Blue Mountain coffee.

There are very few things in this world I’ll actually spend significant money on, and clothes isn’t one of them. Even when I become a millionaire one day (yes that’s the plan and why I’m suffering through graduate school, just wait on it) I’ll probably still shop at discount stores. That being said, this is one of the hidden gems of Tampa TJ Maxxes. I always find great stuff here at fab prices. I always use my price scanning app to see what I would have paid retail and whether the purchase is worth it, and it usually is! For example, today I got:
–A gift box of my mom’s favorite shower gel/​body lotion for upcoming Mother’s Day, retailing at $ 39.99 for only $ 14.99
–A dead sea mud mask for myself, retailing at $ 29.99 for $ 5.99
–A pair of shorts, discounted some amount that I don’t remember
–A few shirts for school (aka not t-​shirts), also discounted (about 15 bucks each)
–A dog bolster bed on clearance from $ 39.99 to $ 20, which my dog promptly walked over to and lay down on the moment I got home. She knows I shop for her.
I returned an item and redeemed gift certificates I had racked up from my TJX card, ultimately paying less than half of the final amount.
I had to stop myself from buying a whole lot more, which is a problem I have with these stores. It’s addicting. But anyways, the location is just fine. Parking is kind of sparce and competitive, as mentioned in previous reviews. Also since the racks are close together and a little cramped, you run into pushy people who walk behind you and essentially push you along the rack because they want to check out what you’re looking at. That gets super annoying and I had to tell myself PATIENCE GIRL PATIENCE a few times today. But overall this store does the trick. If you’re a bargain addict like me you’ll probably like it!

I love this store. It has great deals on brand name items. I always find decent finds in the home good area. They have awesome shoes and clothes too. My problem is the line is super long and the parking is terrible. Be patient and go on a week day and you’ll have less crowds and better parking. The deals and items change daily so if you find something you like, get it because it may not be there again! I never seem to have luck in the men’s section though, it’s not as full as the women’s. That’s ok though! More for me!

Wow today was my lucky day. The movers lost ALL of my shoes. A friend had recommended this store for some at home work out items: yoga mat, jump rope, light barbells… so off I went to visit the store.
What a delight! I found 5 pairs of shoes to start rebuilding my collection, that were fashionable, confortable fit properly and very affordable. All shoes were normally $ 60-​$ 80, I paid from $ 12 to $ 40, some of the shoes were even on sale!
I also found TSA approved luggage locks, which I have had my eye on for only $ 3.99.
They also have an excellent home and kitchen area. I found a coated cast iron Dutch oven for $ 39.99, easily $ 80 or more in a conventional department store. And high quality heavy, non stick frying pans at a bargain price. The clothing assortment and accessories seemed quite nice, but I did not have the time to dive into those departments.
I came home with several bags of goodies and never looked at exercise accessories. I got so excited about the quality shoes, all else left my mind.
What’s a girl to do? Loosing all your shoes is very traumatic and now I have a great reason to return to this store!

always great

Part of the trio of bargain shopping I love to do. TJ Maxx, Marshalls & Ross. This store sits at the top of that pyramid. I shop a few locations across town 1 – 3 times a week!!! They get alot of my money.

A few things I need to preface this review with:
1. I know it’s weird that I’m writing a review for a discount retailer — but hey, they got good stuff for the low low. It’s better than going to the flea market or waiting until my cousins come back with (potential) knock-​offs from some sullen warehouse in New York.
2. The prices are legit.
3. I really don’t have cousins that ship me balck market or counterfeit products from New York.
I like this store because it’s clean and easy to find what you’re looking for. Each department is well organized and maintained. The customer service is great as well. One of the key components of good customer service is, if you do not know the answer, you know where to find it. The employees go above and beyond to get your questions answered.
If you are looking for a gift for that special someone this holday season, I’d definitely check this place out. From nice watches to cologne, you’re going to get an amazing deal. I bought a $ 250 Armani Exchange watch for under $ 100. I went into Dillards randomly and the same watch was still listed for $ 250.

I am such a bargain shopper and love that TJ Maxx has all my favorite brands at unbeatable prices plus they even have sales on top of the already low prices! The only reason I didn’t give this location 5 stars is that it is a not-​so-​great neighborhood and the surroundings really don’t look that welcoming. However, I have always walked away a happy customer and once you are inside the store you forget all about the shady area where it’s located.

This is a pretty great TJMaxx, despite it’s questionable location. I always, always find something when I come here. Pretty well organized for a discount store and there are definitely some treasures buried there!
