Thanks, LC

First I love TJ Maxx/Marshalls, I visit them weekly...=)
There are soo many deals that I've gotten from there, by far the best one was the Kenneth Cole shoes marked down to $15 from $80 =)

#1.2 Jade on 2009-10-11 16:32

I love TJMaxx and Marshalls. This past week I found a DKNY "cozy" cardigan at TJMaxx, along with a ponte knit dress by Taylor. Definitely some of my favorite finds in awhile.

#4 Erin (Homepage) on 2009-10-05 12:26

I love the TJ Maxx in the city since its been renovated and organized. I'd have to say that as a girl on a budget with a serious love of high-end labels, I've been able to find some great stuff. My favorite though was a Helmut Lang Turquoise jersey top that I bought for 20 bucks and adds a pop of color to any outfit!

#5 Dina L (Homepage) on 2009-10-05 12:28

Just this past Saturday I found a GORGEOUS pair of purple and gold snakeskin Steve Madden peep toes on clearance for $30!

#8 Kat on 2009-10-05 12:37

I was in TJ Maxx looking for blue jeans, and I hate shopping for jeans. As I was looking through the rack, I spotted a pair of Seven jeans for under $20! I grabbed them and hoped that the fit. The jeans fit perfectly, and they came home with me that evening!

#10 LA Daze (Homepage) on 2009-10-05 12:43

I just spent my entire afternoon yesterday in these two stores!! From Marshall's I picked up a thin black mock turtleneck perct for layering under dresses for the fall transition ($7.99!!!)I also found the Ferregamo Incanto on clearance and had to make the fabulous scent mine. The boyfriend got two Perry Ellis button downs, and a cashmere vest to go over the one. I also found new throw pillows and blanket, make up mirror and picked up a gourmet coffee(anything to make Mo nday am easier!) TJ Maxx was a hit for a wrap cardigan and more great shirt finds for the boyfriend in addition to new ipod headphones!! It was a great trip for some much needed essentials!

Awww we don't have those stores in Canada. However, we have Winners which is the same company and concept as T.J Maxx, they just had to change the name. My greatest bargain there was a pair of Harajuka Girl wedges but I admit I don't shop there often.

#38 Nikki Moore on 2009-10-05 13:21

I found a super cute purse I've received tons of compliments on - it's slate gray with just enough studding details to give it an edge for this season. I can't remember the brand name right now, but it's the perfect purse for Fall. I love Marshall's and TJ Maxx!!

#39 Chloe on 2009-10-05 13:24

I also ended up wandering over too the infant section abd bought my son some great little polos.

I have been an avid TJ MAXX shopper for years and these deals are the reason I keep coming back

#67 CarolynA on 2009-10-05 14:34

#70 Kitty on 2009-10-05 14:46

I LIVE at Marshalls and TJs. My friend and I have a plan of attack for visiting Marshalls: head straight for the clearance shoes, then the regular shoes, then clearance clothing and regular clothing. My greatest recent find was a pair of dark gray suede JEFFREY CAMPBELL bow ballet flats. They were the only pair there and they were my size. These things are like 100 bucks at Nordstrom. At Marshalls?- they were $29.99!! Gotta love it.

#71 Beth C. on 2009-10-05 14:50

so this is the deal: upon moving to the east coast, i took a consulting job for which i had to dress extremely conservatively. free-wheeling cali girl that i am, my wardrobe was all jeans ($12 skinny jeans) and hoodies ($20 roxy hoodies) from marshall's, but this new job called for closed-toed low heels, stockings, and suits. i ran over to marshall's in a panic and got the following: $29 kenneth cole black leather heels (very professional), lots and lots of tights/hose, a nice black pencil skirt ($20), and a few blouses ($8-$15). the only thing i couldn't find was a suit jacket in my size, but all in all i furnished my entire work wardrobe for about $100! marshall's = life saver.

#72 Melody on 2009-10-05 14:53

I bought 450 thread count white cotton sheets for $32!

#76 Melanie D. on 2009-10-05 15:00

I recently snagged a fab pair of Cole Haan ballet flats for $20--they were originally $80--and they are so comfy. They have the Nike Air bubble and I'm in LOVE!

#77 Emily on 2009-10-05 15:01

I am a huge fan of Marshalls as well.
In fact, I was just there today. I went in search of a pair of boots that I had seen at another location, but I wanted them in black. I was so lucky today cause they did have them in black and it was the only pair left and in my size.

Antoher huge score for today was I noticed a tiny rip in the seam insdie the boots (I can easilly fix it), but I took the boots to the customer service counter and they gave me an addtional $10 off. So I ended up only paying $25.00 for a great pair of flat black ankle riding boots. A FALL MUST HAVE FOR ME.

I have found so many great things at Marshalls. A majority if not all of my fall wardrobe will be from Marshalls.

#78 Sabrina (Homepage) on 2009-10-05 15:07

found the most comfortable jessica simpson suede black pumps for only $40! i wear them everywhere.

#79 amy on 2009-10-05 15:07

My friend sprained her foot and is on crutches and had gained a few pounds and called me because she needed help finding affordable work clothes that would fit her..so I took her to TJ Maxx and found her 3 shirts under $20 and I found myself $10 gold gladiator sandals just 1 week and 1/2 ago!I live in Florida so we can still sport the sandals until November/December.

#80 Rebeca on 2009-10-05 15:08

Snagged a pair of Cole Haan Josey slingback flats with the Nike Air Insoles - for $10!!! I have already worn them with skinnies and t-shirts.

#81 Jen on 2009-10-05 15:08

I found 2 pairs of Seven jeans for $19 each! I usually have to pay over $100 for them, but with such great prices I was able to buy both pairs!! I also found this sweater that I just loved in a store in the mall. I stalked the sweater for weeks but never bought it because I just didn't think it was worth the $75 price tag. When I found it in Marshalls 2 months later with a great $14 tag, I scooped it up and ran to the check-out!!

#82 Kayla (Homepage) on 2009-10-05 15:10

I scored the cutest leather jacket for fall at Marshalls for $40! I am super excited to wear it when it gets cold. I live to shop at these stores. If I am looking for something I always start at one of these first. Why pay full price....ever!!

#86 Tiffany Nelson (Homepage) on 2009-10-05 15:16

I love me some Marshall's and TJ Maxx. My favorite/best purchase is probably a toss up : either my Tignanello purse, gorgeous black leather that looks way more expensive than it was or my Calphalon square pan ($15!) - I literally use them both every day! My sister can usually find killer shoe deals, Sofft ballet flats $10! Kenneth Cole Reaction heels $15!

my favorite item that i have bought at tj maxx was a pair of cowboy boots by steve madden for $60 this season. the were 50% off! perfect for the fall season!

#99 hannah on 2009-10-05 15:56

My favorite find (though it wasn't clothing or accessories) was my Samsonite carry-on. It's blue and colorful so it stands out and it has four wheels! Glides like a dream! I love it and I love that I didn't have to pay full retail price!

#100 Iska on 2009-10-05 16:02

A couple weeks ago I found a beautiful vintage looking dress for 15 dollars!

#101 Diana on 2009-10-05 16:04

I bought myself a huge bottle of BigSexyHair
shampoo for $10.99 at TJ Maxx the other day!!! That stuff usually costs that same amount for 1/3 of the size! I buy all my hair and body beauty products there - such a great selection.

#102 Ray on 2009-10-05 16:20

Can't EVER stop talking about T.J. Maxx or Marshalls. My co-workers and I often take our lunch breaks there and do a little bargain shopping. The last amazing deals I found were those SOOO cool and comfortable Frye boots and this fantastic bright orange Nine West cardigan with gold snap buttons for a steal!

#103 Laura on 2009-10-05 16:20

I recently scored quite a coup at Marshalls in the tights department. I scored a pair of rad Betsey Johnson tights, and two solid colored pairs for $13 total, which allow me to jazz up dresses or simple outfits with a bit of color. I don't have the money in my budget for completely new clothes, so it's doubly awesome to score small bargains like this one!

#104 Dyan on 2009-10-05 16:29

I have had so much luck at TJ Maxx and Marshalls recently! A gorgeous black Tahari cardigan for $39.99. A fantastic gray Michael Kors cardigan for $39.99. DKNY bedding in such a pretty print! $25 for the coverlet, $4 for the standard shams. Nail polish! Barielle treatments for 1/4 the regular cost. Color Zone polish - the only place I can find it! Hello Kitty pajamas for $14.99. Halloween decorations! You get the idea. I love these stores!

#105 Laura W. on 2009-10-05 16:31

i love tj maxx & marshalls! I love buying hair products there! My greatest pick up from there was a huuuge betsey johnson tote for only $50!

#106 Joanne on 2009-10-05 16:36

Two of my favorite stores!!! I just bought the cutest pair of slouchy suede ankle boots by Jessica Simpson and fabulous fitting dark skinny jeans this weekend at Marshalls.They look great together...my next outting is to find the perfect top to go with them!

#107 Dominique on 2009-10-05 16:46

#108 Alaina on 2009-10-05 16:47

#109 Cat on 2009-10-05 16:59

I found a great pair of gladiator sandals at Marshall's for $15 - they worked with all my summer clothes too.

And there is so much more; TJ Maxx and Marshalls are FABULOUS stores (Marshalls especially, for shoes)!

#111 Aimee on 2009-10-05 17:10

i'm loving my steve madden fringed booties!

#112 angela on 2009-10-05 17:13

this weekend at TJ MAXX I bought a beautiful Polo sweater for my boyfriend that was originally priced at $80 (the price tag was still on it) for $25! I know he'll love it! I also got the warmest socks for winter which I'll need here in Ohio!

#113 Tali on 2009-10-05 17:32

I bought three kinds of Escada perfume!

#117 Shally on 2009-10-05 17:59

The last things I bought was a Calvin Klein belt that I desperately needed. TJ Maxx was the first place I thought of going to look for a belt.

#118 Grace on 2009-10-05 18:07

My most recent purchases have been a ruffled purple plaid shirt, a patterned scarf, light gray corduroy pants, a chunky short-sleeved navy sweater, and a cream wool cloche hat. My last great bargain was a few weeks ago - a sleeveless summer shirt and black shorts for $2 each!

#119 Maura on 2009-10-05 18:28

I found a Tommy Hilfiger bag for half-price at TJ Maxx!

#120 L on 2009-10-05 18:45

2 weeks ago I bought a great basic black swing coat with geometric buttons for a bargain basement price of $20. I've been wearing it EVERYWHERE and have been getting compliments on it left and right!

#121 Angel on 2009-10-05 18:48

I recently purchased a cognac faux leather bomber at Marshalls that I love! Only $30, and I've gotten so much use out of it already.

#122 Kellie G on 2009-10-05 19:09

I love TJMaxx...got a couple great cardigans last week for $12 each!

#123 Connie on 2009-10-05 19:10

I might as well pitch a tent in these stores because I am there all the time. Seriously, I pray in their direction 3-4 times a day.

My deals:

$20 Seven for all Mankind Dojo jeans and $30 Seven for all mankind bootcut jeans (a la TJ Maxx clearance rack). The heavens opened when I found these...

$29 Cole Haan flats (TJ Maxx)

$7 BCBG Top (Marshalls Clearance)

$19 Ralph Lauren Sweater (Marshalls Clearance)

#124 Sarah on 2009-10-05 19:18

I bought a Nicole Lee handbag for $39.99 @ TJ Maxx. It might not sound like a great bargain, but it's a dead ringer for an $1100 B&D handbag I saw & loved in O Magazine.

#125 Lorre Bonner on 2009-10-05 19:19

I bought a faux leather jacket from tjmaxx for 29.99$. I wore if for the first time today and got so many compliments

#126 Kristine on 2009-10-05 19:29

I found an adorable red laptop bag for 20 bucks!

#127 Barbara Moahamed on 2009-10-05 19:31

I bought a gorgeous hot pink one shoulder maxi dress from TJ Maxx for only $15! It's one of my most comfortable dresses and stands out at the same time. Most people are always so surprised when I tell them what I'm wearing is from either TJ Maxx or Marshalls! I love these two.

#128 Kate on 2009-10-05 19:41

I bought a Catherine Malandrino mini black dress and a white Alice and Olivia with these gorgeous bubble sleeves, each were only $44!!! Amazing...I'm so in love with both of them. Probably the best finds of my life.

#129 Lisa (Homepage) on 2009-10-05 19:48

Oh my gosh, I totally fangirl TJ Maxx! They are my shoe shopping go-to store. I wear a 7.5, which are always nearly sold out at many stores since that's fairly average. But I always find the cutest shoes at TJ Maxx for a ridiculous discount. Last week I bought a pair of Clarks gladiator sandals for $29.99 that I'm still finding in major retailers for 80 bucks. And to top it off, I scored a super cute green plaid mock turtleneck dress for $16.99. It's so very Mad Men with a plaid twist. I got so many compliments on that dress, more than items I've bought at other stores for triple the price. It's entirely possible that my husband might stage a TJ Maxx intervention on me. I can't ever walk out without finding great deals.

#130 Amy on 2009-10-05 19:52

I recently picked up a few pairs of super cute leggings (lots of different colors...great prices!)
Thanx!

#131 Elle (Homepage) on 2009-10-05 19:59

I got an amazing fitting pair of Express jeans that I love for $20.

#134 Bryn on 2009-10-05 20:17

Sadly, I don't have a Marshalls, but I do have a TJ Maxx! Just found a Juicy Couture jacket for 29.99! Also got a great Michael Kors top for 20 bucks and some Lancome foundation for 8 bucks a few weeks ago. I love that store and from reading all these comments, I need to drive 87 miles to the nearest Marshalls because they sound like they've got awesome bargains! Thanks for the great giveaway contest!

#135 Missy on 2009-10-05 20:26

I haven't shopped at Marshall's in a while but I recall getting a good deal on picture frames to give to friends as Christmas gifts.

#136 Mfalcon13 on 2009-10-05 20:26

early in september i was shopping at my local marshall's. i picked up the perfect urban outfitters skirt with a feather pattern in deep shades of red and purple. it was only around 15 dollars. then the next day i went to urban outfitters and saw the same skirt on sale for 30. SCORE

#137 Jennifer (Homepage) on 2009-10-05 20:35

I found a great pair of 1970s style Levis for $15. They were nothing like what I was looking for, but when I tried them on I just couldn't say no. I also got a Velvet Heart blue silk cargo style shirt for $40. The material feels and looks fabulous. It's so soft! I'd never heard of the brand before and now I'll be scouting Marshalls for them more often.

#138 Susan H on 2009-10-05 20:36

I love both Marshalls and TJ Maxx for great basics and fun scarves! I recently bought a great ombre Kensie sweater at TJ Maxx and I can't wait to wear it this fall!

#139 Marianna on 2009-10-05 20:38

My favorite gray sweater is from TJ max, as well as my fabo fabo pea coat and my favorite cardigan. OH HOW I LOVE TJ MAX!

#140 molly johnson on 2009-10-05 20:43

#141 Trinh on 2009-10-05 20:52

Just picked up for the BF a pair comfortable Cole Haan/Nike loafers for less than $50. Always get my dress pants there: Tahari, Micheal by Michael Kors, etc.

#142 J on 2009-10-05 20:56

I love Marshall's and TJ Maxx. Recently I got a pair of skinny gray pants at Marshall's--perfect for wearing to work, and they were the right length, which for me (short inseam) was amazing!

#143 digamba on 2009-10-05 21:03

The best find I ever got at TJ Maxx was a Micheal Kors orange bag. It was a Mother's Day gift for my mommy and it is her favorite color. Original price $400, on sale for $165.

#144 Carolyn on 2009-10-05 21:30

I just got the coolest red, leather, storage bench to put at the foot of my bed from TJ Maxx Homegoods. I got it for $199 and while not a steal, it's real leather and a lot of places charge over $100 for a fake leather one this size. I also got a super cute black french inspired lamp for $29. There is a flower print on the inside of the shade so the pattern shows through when you turn the light on.

#145 Joanna on 2009-10-05 21:31

Oh my goodness, I just had the best find at Marshall's! A 100% cashmere sweater, fuzzy and cozy (and stylish!) for $25. I was so excited... the sweater is my favorite shade of blue, it really sets off my skin.

#146 Julia on 2009-10-05 21:56

I found a really nice set of Korres products at TJ Maxx for $10 bucks! Fabulous body butter!

#147 LisaRN on 2009-10-05 21:56

Cute and fun Betsey Johnson suitcase on clearance for $50. What a steal!

#148 Alanna on 2009-10-05 22:00

I found this FABULOUS faux leather jacket at Marshall's last week. It looks real - all my friends are envious! I scored it for 30 dollars!

#149 Kait on 2009-10-05 22:03

I love love love Marshalls! I got the cutest Coach rainboots for $49.99! Can not wait for it to rain so I can wear them! yay!

#150 Jen on 2009-10-05 22:07

i had been looking for a really cute basic black purse but with some special detailing that made it stand out. My budget was $80 After shopping all weekend at pricier stores, i just never found one that I fell in love with. Then on Sunday I shopped at the Arrundel Mills TJ Maxx in Hanover, MD and found a Nicole Lee black tote with ruffled and gem stone detailing for the amazing price of $39.99! I saved so much money! I used to the leftover money to score a cute Ralph Lauren boat neck top as well! Gotta love TJ Maxx

#151 Gabrielle on 2009-10-05 22:43

My best find at Marshalls was a juicy couture track suit. It was so cheap (compared to the original price). I wear it everywhere, its so comfy and cute! Thank you Marshalls!

#152 Ashley on 2009-10-05 22:45

I found these exact frye boots for $40! My friend who works at marshalls said they must have been a return since they were the only pair (and in my size)!

http://shoemine.com/shopsite_sc/store/html/product372.html

best deal i've gotten in a long time, and my first pair of frye boots

#153 Lindsay on 2009-10-05 22:58

I loved the cashmere sweater I got at TJ Maxx last week. Winter is fast approaching and there's no better material than cashmere to keep me warm!

#154 CJ on 2009-10-05 23:14

After transitioning from my hometown in California to college on the east coast, I had to go on a major shopping spree for warm clothes. Fortunately, there is a Marshalls near my school! I nabbed some cute jackets and a pair of Uggs (hardly ever see those on for less than full price!).

#155 Steph on 2009-10-05 23:19

A VERSACE white Italian leather belt with a gold buckle for 90 bucks...I practically live in TJMaxx! Ive started making friends there

#156 Raysha Lopez on 2009-10-06 00:01

I have 2 marshalls within a very short distance... very helpful when I was looking for a bathing suit this summer! Found the most gorgeous black Calvin Klein bathing suit, the only one there, $20 down from $99!

#157 Liz on 2009-10-06 00:51

I just recently found an amazing American Eagle peacoat in dark blue at TJ Maxx! Perfect timing too.. I needed a fall coat! I LOVE that store.

#158 Elise on 2009-10-06 00:56

Love Marshalls. Just bought a great paisley blouse there the other day for $12! I've received lots of compliments on it already.

#159 Sally on 2009-10-06 01:20

I was inspired to shop at Marshalls for the first time after reading you write about it! And, on my first trip there, I found a gorgeous BCBG drop-waist dress for $20!!

#160 Cindy on 2009-10-06 01:29

My best deal yet, and probably EVER: $2 wedges originally from American Eagle Outfitters. I saw them at AE for $40; $14 at other TJ Maxx stores; but got them for $2. CRAZY!

#161 Megan (Homepage) on 2009-10-06 01:50

My latest TJ Maxx bargain was a pair of Sam Edelman fringe boots (for $69). I've wanted them since I saw Mischa Barton wearing them last year. I also wanted to buy perfume. I was thinking of getting Covet, but I ran into some Essie nail polish. And after not being able to choose just one...I walked away with 8 and not enough money for perfume. I guess I know what I'll be buying next, assuming I'm not distracted by another bargain!

#162 savannah on 2009-10-06 02:29

Recently I found a gorgeous pair of strappy platform sandals that I absolutely love. It helps that they were super cheap and super comfy too!

#163 Nhi on 2009-10-06 03:16

Just went to Marshalls two days ago! Scored Adidas and Nike work out shirts ($7 each) and a pair of Yoga pants for $10! Oh yeah.

#164 Chia on 2009-10-06 04:44

I never come out of Marshalls empty handed,
but last week I got the cutest white purse
with different color font that reads love
all over it. It was so cute and only 19.99

#165 Veronica haas on 2009-10-06 05:11

Ooohh -- I always find excellent clothes at TJMaxx and Marshalls. I just found a BCBG maxi dress on clearance for $10.

#166 Annie on 2009-10-06 05:23

Just recently I found a pair of Juicy Couture sweatpants on clearance at Marshalls for $29.99!

#167 Rachel on 2009-10-06 06:02

I once found Michael Stars perfect fit shirts for $10 each, and a gorgeous BCBG metallic wrap shirt-dress for only $20, but my best find ever was a pair of Blue Cult jeans for SEVEN DOLLARS!!!

#168 Maggie on 2009-10-06 06:15

I found a wonderful gray cardigan, cashmere blend for under $30. Super excited!

#169 Miranda on 2009-10-06 07:08

My best score was at TJMaxx: a Helmut Lang cutout arm blazer for $50. *Originally at $600*, I snatched that baby up and haven't taken it off since.

Who doesn't love TJMaxx and Marshalls?!

#170 Talia on 2009-10-06 07:44

I wear a size 11 shoe AND I have flat feet so it's super hard to find comfort shoes for a decent price. I got a beautiful pair of Born leather boots at Marshalls this weekend for a steal! Can't get enough of Marshalls/TJ Maxx.

#171 Aduni on 2009-10-06 07:50

My most recent steal was a pair of Paper Denim & Cloth jeans for $19.99. They fit like a glove and the quality of the denim is like no other pair of jeans I own. They are definitely my new favorites!

#172 MEP on 2009-10-06 07:57

Found some great BCBG tops marked down to $14.99 at TJ Maxx recently! Love that!

#173 Shannon on 2009-10-06 08:01

My most recent bargain wasn't a fashion item -- it was an iHome iPod clock-radio for $50 on clearance. The same model sells for $79 on sale elsewhere! Woo Hoo! More cash left over for shoes.

#174 Barbara on 2009-10-06 08:19

I recently bought a pair of black peep toe pumps (Nine West) for $15! I wear them all the time at work, and they are extrememly comfortable.

#175 Deirdre on 2009-10-06 08:21

I love my off white Kenneth Cole cardigan that I bought from T.J. Maxx and get compliments on it all the time!

#176 Rachelle on 2009-10-06 08:25

I recently found a pair of french connection black velvet shorts for $19.99!! Love TJ Maxx!!

#177 Quinlan Wood on 2009-10-06 08:30

I bought a great pair of Danskin black jazz pants about 9 years ago that I still wear all the time. Sure, they've faded some but they are by far my most comfy dance pants I wear to class. I've got lots of great deals at TJ Maxx but this is the longest I've ever kept anything I got there.

#178 Jody (Homepage) on 2009-10-06 08:54

Reading all these posts makes me want to run to my local T.J. Maxx, my home away from home. I always find great t-shirts from the latest skate brands for my two teenage boys. Cost $10 compared to $20. Half of my extensive wardrobe comes from T. J. My favorites are my Me Too flats, black leather slouch Steve Madden boots, a great Cynthia Steffe gorgeous skirt, and a great Willi Smith black and white floral 50's style dress. I paid $15 bucks for it and have worn it so many times with so many compliments. Love you T.J.

#179 karen on 2009-10-06 08:58

I found a great Anne Klein suit at TJ Maxx that fits me really well and was under $80.

#180 Amy on 2009-10-06 09:00

faux croc brown riding boots with buckle detail on the top side for 29.99 - love them!

#181 Heather on 2009-10-06 09:12

I just got the cutest sheer plaid shirt with ruffles, for 40 off! Its so cute and is a good transition into fall.

#182 Cynthia on 2009-10-06 09:31

I love my marshalls. Is a small store so not too many people go there but is where I find everything I need. No lie I go to this store at least twice a week and of course never come out empty handed. Yesterday I just found a CK top for just $5 last week found 3 pairs of shoes ranging from $10 to $7 and always get compliments on my budget fashion finds.

#183 RUTHIE on 2009-10-06 09:54

Marshalls is the BEST for bargains! Recently I was browsing through the huge shoe selection, and my eyes landed on a pair of cobalt blue Kate Spade Keeden heels I'd had on my wish list since last December. I couldn't believe it! I scooped them up for only $49, marked down from about $300. And even better, I found them on my birthday!

#184 Jen on 2009-10-06 10:03

I love how much more organized TJ Maxx and Marshalls are compared to other discount stores. My most recent find was a fitted sports team hat for my husband for only $5. My best finds though were Paper, Denim, and Cloth jeans and Kate Spade sandals-both on clearance!

#185 Katherine on 2009-10-06 10:46

Which do I pick? I stop at TJ Maxx or Marshall's at least once a week and it has been even more often than that since my husband and I just bought our first house! I normally buy tons of clothes and shoes (I even have boots from TJ Maxx on right this minute!) but I recently bought an entire bedding set that everyone thinks is deisgner! It is, but for a MUCH better price!

#186 AliciaS on 2009-10-06 11:02

hooray! love this contest, as well as my birthday is on october 13th so even better if i win!

i recently found a pair of ysl knockoffs by steve madden at only $39.99 a pair. gorgeous, platform and black patent leather, they're classy enough to go with everything but fun and trendy at the same time.

#187 Kay W. (Homepage) on 2009-10-06 11:16

I just graduated from college, and I start working tomorrow! TJ Maxx nad Marshall's have always been my favorite stores, but now I love them even more because they're helping me build a closet full of business clothes! This past weekend, I found a designer purse (perfect size to hold all my girly things as well as a notebook and a laptop) for $22! As soon as I got home, I looked it up online and the same exact thing was over $70!

#188 Veronica on 2009-10-06 11:27

I got an AWESOME retro-inspired Calvin Klein dress at TJ Maxx for $19.99. The zipper had a bad spot...ripped that sucker out and added a new one!

#189 Beth (Homepage) on 2009-10-06 11:30

Ok, this is a hard one cause Marshalls is almost the only place I shop but last week I got a pair of BCBG knee high boots for are you ready (drumroll, please) $69.99! That is not is later that week I was at Macys and they were there for $129.99! I know.

#190 Style, via Tia (Homepage) on 2009-10-06 11:54

This weekend at Marshalls I found the most darling Guess nude-colored, suede platform heels with retro styling.And they were less than $40!

#191 Hänni (Homepage) on 2009-10-06 12:05

Picture it: TJMaxx at Downtown Crossing in Boston, Clearance Rack. End of summer things that have been picked over, some a bit shop-worn, but still worthy of a look... Tahari has long been a favorite designer of mine (love the way their fabrics feel, and the shirts in particular usually have a v. nice drape to them--i.e, they cling only where you'd want them to). I shop in the Tahari store at the Copley Mall regularly b/c they have good sales, but/and/so nothing like a TJMaxx sale. I got a silk jersey sleeveless top in a floral print of purple, green, red, black, and gold for $10. (*TEN. Dollars.*)

The original "manufactures suggested retail price" tag red $198. Math is hard (Barbie!), but I know that's a real max-for-the-minimum deal!!

#192 arden on 2009-10-06 12:08

I bought the most fabulous coat. its faux fur with a panther design. super soft, warm, and cuddly. only $59.99! I even blogged about it! leilatalk.blogspot.com under Fabulous Find. Can't wait for the cold!

#193 Leila (Homepage) on 2009-10-06 12:28

I lucked out on some Calvin Klein pump shoes in the clearance section for $20. I checked online for the same shoe and noticed other stores sold the same shoe for $69.99 or higher. Woo hoo Marshalls.

#194 Teresa on 2009-10-06 12:39

Wow, that's a tough one. Marshall's is my family's go to destination for so many things, but I'd say our best finds there are handbags!! We like QUALITY. The kind of leather bag that will last forever. I scored a $350 tan leather Kenneth Cole shoulder bag for about $130 last year! Still my favorite bargain.

#195 Elizabeth on 2009-10-06 13:05

I recently found a comfortable black and white striped top for $9.99 and a more dress up flower print button up with ruffles on the front for 12.99. The best deal was black booties by Me Too for 24.99...the same shoes are sold at DSW shoes for about $50.00 bucks...great buy!

#196 Nohemy on 2009-10-06 13:11

This past weekend I bought a super sexy pair of multi-strap platform sandals from Franco Sarto at Marshalls. When I was trolling around online for new fall/winter shoes I noticed this specific pair but hesitated on getting them b/c they were $110.00 (these shoes are current season, btw). When I saw these babies at Marshalls for only $49.99 I did a happy dance and scooped em up right away. I've already worn these shoes twice and they get a lot of attention. I

I love going to Marshalls and TJ Max! The last time I went to Marshalls I bought my hubby 3 pairs of pants, and each were under $25! I also bought 4 shirts for under $20. The total bill was less than $200. If I would have gone elsewhere, I would have easily paid over $400! Thanks Marshalls!

LOVE TJ Maxx and Marshall's! This past weekend, I went into TJ Maxx's to browse and came out with an adorable grey-and-black plaid swing jacket for only $25... I'm wearing it to work today in fact, and got a ton of compliments.

#200 Alena on 2009-10-06 13:38

Last weekend at TJMaxx I found the most gorgeous Calvin Klein black dress w/ jacket for $69 and a Michael Kors wrap cardigan for 39.99. I have recently lost quite a bit of weight and am rebuilding my career wardrobe with classic pieces. I also bought a $95 Liz Claiborne bag for $35, a couple of Jones New York shells for $15 with money left over for new tights and socks. I had a blast!

#201 Elizabeth Watkins on 2009-10-06 13:41

I got a Kensie white strapless formal dress that was supposed to be over $100 for $30 at TJ Maxx!! The deals are defintely worth the hunt!

This past weekend I went looking EVERYWHERE for black, platform peep-toe pumps. My budget was $40, so I went to Marshalls. I found the cutest pair by Carlos Santana, and I received soo many compliments on them already.

#206 Jen on 2009-10-06 15:58

I always find great deals at TJ Maxx, but last week I found these great vintage suitcases which I stacked to use as an end table - so cute! Love this blog!

Take me to the MAXX. A couple weeks ago I found a shirt that looks very similar to a LnA Zipper Pocket t-shirt for $7. That's right - $7. I wore it with dark skinny jeans and black booties. So cute.

#209 EMY on 2009-10-06 16:40

Love, love, love, TJ max and Marshalls! They have a great assortment of clothes, home goods, shoes, kids clothes, mens clothes and even toys! I found a cute t-shirt for $9.99, adorable hangy sweater for $9.99 and some awesome black flats in the clearence section for around $20.

Great pair of Hilfiger platform sandals!

#213 P on 2009-10-06 18:54

Found the perfect pair of nude pointy toe heels by Marc Fisher for $40. I was searching all summer for a nude shoe that was not patent, not too small of a heel, and matched my skin tone and I found it randomly at TJ Maxx.

#214 Sarah on 2009-10-06 19:30

The TJ Maxx in Glendale, CA is my favorite. The last two things I picked up were a Theory dress and boot-cut J Brands -- both absurdly discounted. LOVE!

#215 Elisabeth on 2009-10-06 19:41

This past weekend I found THE most gorgeous pair of Michael Michael Kors boots for only $99 (originally priced $245!) at TJ Maxx. Best deal ever!

#219 Justine on 2009-10-06 21:43

Since the posting about great fall sweaters and how to successfully shop at TJ Maxx I have found a new love for TJ's and Marshalls!! I recently bought a sweater similar to one that was posted at TJ Maxx for $16.99 and I found the cutest pair of mustard color patent leather flats with white buckle across the toe for only $14.99(my description is not doing them justice) they're great to wear casual to work or to add an extra pop of color with jeans and a top. I plan on heading back to tackle the clearance section but that's a full day commitment!!

thanks for the helpful tips on a successful shopping at these stores!

#220 kp on 2009-10-06 21:44

My favorite recent find was an awesome jacket at TJ Maxx for under $20!

#221 Amanda on 2009-10-06 21:45

In my town we have both stores in the same complex and I go to both^^

I absolutely love their housewares section. I recently got a pair of flower pots, THE perfect pair of leggings (no seam and very comfy in the tummy/butt area!) and I have my eye on a new fall bag.

#222 Ellen on 2009-10-06 22:16

I LOVE my Tahari shirt dress! It cost me $49.99 at TJ Maxx, compared to $195 at Saks and Neiman Marcus. I can't even tell you how many times I've worn, just on a casual day, or dressed up for dinner.

#230 Melissa C on 2009-10-07 11:01

Best deal ever: A Cynthia Rowley cashmere v-neck sweater for $25! Designer AND cashemere for under $30 (under a $100 would have been a feat by itself)! I go to TJ Maxx and Marshalls way to often...

#244 Sally F on 2009-10-08 11:46

I love TJ Maxx and Marshall for several reason. Besides there home selection where I can find some of the neatest and most unique things to decorate my house I am also very excited about my most recent purchase there. I bought a pink polka dot suitcase from Marshalls a few weeks for an upcoming trip because I was so sick of always trying to make sure I had the right black suitcase among the other 200 black ones that people had on my flight. Now its so easy to spot my suitcase, thanks Marshalls!

#245 Molly on 2009-10-08 13:08

#248 Shavonne on 2009-10-08 21:24

It's funny that you should ask what my latest bargain was at my last Marshall's or T.J. Maxx visit, because it was those exact pair of shoes that the models are wearing! My new hubby and I were in a T.J. Maxx Home Goods Store recently browsing around, and decided to check out shoes as well. I got those shoes for less than $30, when my husband spotted them and suggested I try them on. I also found a pair of Ed Hardy Jeans for around $40.

#249 Bethany on 2009-10-08 22:52

At Marshalls, I found a cute pair of cognac Steve Madden wedges for about a fifth of the retail price. At TJ Max, an adorable Juice Couture cardigan!

#250 Tina on 2009-10-08 23:18

I found a super cute pair of Annne Klein peeptoe, snakeskin, buckle and patent pumps. I know it sounds like a lot of elements in one pair of shoes - but they are sexy and cheap - only $20!

#251 Vina on 2009-10-09 10:50

I love TJMaxx and Marshalls!! My weakness has always been shoes, bags and coats. On my last visit I was able to score the hottest brown gladiator pumps by Tahari for $49!! And as I was leaving, I spoted this fab plum trench for only $59 and a musturd brown kenneth cole bag for a steal of $79!! How could I resist!

#252 Ruch on 2009-10-09 11:20

#255 kim on 2009-10-09 14:41

I feel like I live at Marshall's, there is one right by house and I shop there on a weekly basis. Some of the things I have bought...perfume for dirt cheap, shoes that are still at Nine West for like $10 on clearance. Marc Jacobs sunglasses for 29.99! Seven Jeans for 29.99. They also have the best selection of Nike and Adidas workout clothes and always under $20. Aside from that I have bought food items, cosmetics, patio furniture (originally for $500 and purchased for $50!), bedding, and lots of gifts!

I love Marshall's not only for their bargains, but because I don't have to fight the mall traffic. Marshall's is easy, accessible, and fun!!!

Love you budgetbabe, I check you out tons of times a day, and am always happy with what you put on here! xoxo

#256 Julia on 2009-10-09 15:51

The last time I was at TJ Maxx I bought the cutest pair of Steve Madden Girl frill sandals - which I had seen at a department store for $25 more the month before! I like the clothes at TJ Maxx but I find major steals in the shoe section every time I visit!

#263 Jen H on 2009-10-11 02:47

Found a beautiful Italian leather bag in patent,it is extremely similar to a famous designer's satchel bag. It was originally $250,TJ Maxx's price was marked down to $125, I held back, went to the store a week later, there it was,my hands were shaking! They had marked it down to $50! I couldn't get to the cashier fast enough, I love, love this bag. Seeing a famous designer had an extremely similar bag for several thousands made my deal that much more exciting!
