It would be best to skip the electronics at TJ Maxx, but the accessories are pretty decent, according to Erin Port, who runs the blog Simple Purposeful Living.

“Usually, the tech accessories are housed by the checkout line,” Port wrote. “You can find screen protectors, extra cables, cases, headphones and more. All name brand items for a fraction of the cost.”

Most of the furniture items in TJ Maxx likely failed product inspection or were even overstocked from other retailers, according to Reviewed.com.

“Be careful or you may end up with a sticky drawer or wobbly, uneven legs, which is unfortunate if you bought something you were intending to keep around for a while,” Courtney Campbell wrote.

There are name-brand sunglasses that go for as low as $9.99.

Find your style and grab a few more pairs if you feel like it.

TJ Maxx does have an impressive jewelry department.

They carry designers like Michael Kors and Kate Spade, so if you have a good eye, then this is a good place to spend for jewelry.

Good bargains on name-brand items can be found in the pet department.

You’ll even find the popular couponing site The Krazy Coupon Lady.

“TJ Maxx is one of the best places to buy pet supplies,” the blog says. “The greatest value is in the pet bed section. Beds are priced at least 50% below stores like Petco or Petsmart, and I find the patterns are better.”

Experts do recommend buying home-storage items at TJ Maxx.

They have aesthetically pleasing baskets and containers to help you stay organized at home.

“I might get utilitarian storage bins at IKEA, but all my pretty baskets and boxes come from Marshalls and T.J.Maxx,” they wrote. “Again, if you’re organizing a closet, bathroom, guest room, play room, you name it, Marshalls and T.J.Maxx have a huge selection and the best prices.”

Blogger Dianna Baros of The Budget Babe says she got her towels at TJ Maxx.

“You can find Egyptian cotton for the best price without having to wait for a sale elsewhere,” she wrote.

Reviewed.com says the yoga mats tend to be thin and poorly constructed, so that will have you slipping around the mat.

Go for a higher-quality mat from a company like Lululemon, it’s always worth it.

Sheet sets from TJ Maxx aren’t always of the best quality, according to CheatSheet.

Comfortable and quality sheets are made from natural fibers like linen and cotton. You’ll rarely find those in the bedding aisle at TJ Maxx.

“They may look cute on the shelf, and they probably feel pretty soft,” Jess Bolluyt wrote. “But they won’t feel as breathable or hold up to repeated washing machine cycles as sheets that use only natural fibers.”

Reader’s Digest actually tells readers to avoid these items for safety reasons.

Gaynor Humphrey works with the toy manufacturer Best Years. She told writer Kelly Bryant that while most products are overstocked items, they can also come from “third-party clearance houses.”

“One potential problem is that the toys may not conform to current testing standards, or are ‘knock-off ‘ merchandise which, again, may not have been made to the strict standards you would want from a baby toy,” Humphrey said.

Bloggers and experts were divided with this, with some saying to avoid makeup since they may be tampered with.

TJ Maxx also rotates their products a lot. You don’t want to get too attached to a shade since you may not see it again.

But Madhok says it should be a go-to destination for cosmetics.

“TJ Maxx has the same things you would find at Sephora or Ulta for 20 to 60% below,” Madhok said. “The colors might be from last season, but my favorite Stila lipstick colors are there.”

The Kitchn does say that you can stock up on K-Cups and packages of coffee from TJ Maxx.

“You’ll find all of your favorite flavors, including Starbucks, Seattle’s Best, and Dunkin’ Donuts varieties,” Danielle Blundell wrote for The Kitchn.

TJ Maxx boats a wide assortment of picture frames.

Those are perfect for decorating or gift-giving, so take your time and choose what catches your eye.

Baros of The Budget Babe said likes the pillows at TJ Maxx, especially when used for guest rooms.

“I love that you can get a brand name two-pack for $20,” she wrote. “Whatever size or density, down or down-free, they’ve got it. It’s a good idea to refresh your pillows every once in a while, and at these prices, I can afford to do just that for everyone in the family plus guests.”

Budgeting blog Hip2Save does recommend TJ Maxx for their dishware.

You can find really fun coffee mugs and bowls for your home, or purchase a set as a gift for someone special.

If you are looking for athletic socks for exercise or fuzzy socks just for lounging around the house, TJ Maxx has you covered, and at great prices too.

Port of Simple Purposeful Living gets her socks for the family there, including Happy Socks for her husband for $3.99.

They normally retail for $14 full price, while a three-pack of Under Armour basketball socks for her son went for just $5.

Inventory changes and is inconsistent week to week, so TJ Maxx does not include a sample or test display.

Shoppers tend to open and tamper with hair products just to smell or try the item.

“These products may arrive at the store in tip-top shape, but because there aren’t testers available of products, as Southern Living points out, customers will often crack open a can so they can sample (retail etiquette: do not do this),” Bryant wrote in Reader’s Digest.

Look elsewhere for high-quality technology. Brands do matter when it comes to these.

“Tech at the off-price retailers is sometimes not brand name and tends to not hold up as well,” Madhok says. “You won’t get the most high-end electronics at TJ Maxx.”

Look elsewhere for cooking items like slow cookers and griddles.

TJ Maxx likes to stock items from lesser-known brands. They don’t work as well and will break sooner than expected especially if you’re a seasoned cook.

Go to the register, and you’ll find lots of small, affordable gifts.

Anything goofy, useful, or cute are present and these are all fair game, according to the experts.

Personal-finance and budgeting blog Wise Bread prefers TJ Maxx when looking for discounted designer jeans.

You can even find recent styles seen in other stores like Macy’s and Nordstrom.

“If designer jeans are your thing, you’d be smart to buy them at TJ Maxx and save close to 70% off the retail price,” Kyle James wrote in Wise Bread. “Brands that you can typically find include Jones New York, Jessica Simpson, Lucky, and Paris Blues.”

TJ Maxx’s selection of notebooks and stationery are often at bargain prices, says Baros of The Budget Babe.

“Whether you’re trying to get organized or want a place to journal. TJ Maxx and Marshalls always have the prettiest stationery and paper supplies,” she wrote. “You never know what you’ll find, but you’ll always find something good and at a fraction of the cost you’d pay at a dedicated paper store.”

Most bloggers and shopping experts say you’re bound to find a good deal on a designer handbag at TJ Maxx, regardless of the style or season.

“Top handbag brands that are regularly stocked include Valentina, Kenneth Cole, Michaella Barri, Saint Laurent, Perlina, and Emma Fox,” according to Wise Bread. “You’ll often find these brands at close to 75% off the original retail price.”

The shoe section is a hit or miss, and discounts on name-brand shoes aren’t especially notable so just walk past them.
