So I've made it a point not to talk much about my kids on my blog...this is ME, not Mommy...just me, BUT its been a rough week as Mommy (oh my its only Monday!)... Tonight when hubby got home, I needed to escape. My plan was to hit Old Navy for some long sleeve staples since it FREEZING on the east coast. Old Navy isn't a happy place for me. Its messy and a lot of the merchandise isn't good quality, all that I wanted was long sleeved T's and the piles weren't sized...just annoying...NOT what I needed. After texting hubby to see if the kids were asleep, I drove slowly toward home and when I got no answer I pulled into TJ Maxx which was on the way home. I always start in the home section. Its what I do...and tonight, nothing. Its rare that I look in the women's section but tonight since I basically was killing time, I decided to not only look, but to dig. My husband laughs at me because I feel like I have a gift, I can find a deal like no other...I feel like its actually a talent! I really believe this and reading it back, I guess it is a little funny!
So here goes... I first found a round rack of all "designer" clothes. The top of the rack boasted a sign with several brand names on the sign... I decided to look through and much to my surprise a beautiful Halston Heritage blouse, hmmm I keep looking then I find a Joie dress. Now I'm feeling a buzz...it was better than 2 Cosmos for me. I was so excited. This is when I should tell you that neither of the things I found were my size but they were super cute and priced even cuter :-) ... Then I start through the clearance rack ...this is a first for me, but ...I wanted to see what I could find! This is when the fun started....a Theory blouse with a scarf attached for $30, Juicy Couture sweatpants for $20, Halston Heritage blouse in 2 colors $34 and a couple of tops that I recognized the brands from Nordstrom and Anthropologie. These were $10 and $12... I bought one of these tops and another shirt also $10~ $20 total spent for over $100 worth of shirts....SCORE!!!! 5 years ago I would have bought every single piece just because of the names but I've matured as a shopper.. I know its about quality not quantity! The moral of this story is if you enjoy digging through the racks, give TJ Maxx a try...I thought it was a blast... I was in my happy place!! Like I said, better than 2 cosmos...and that's saying a lot...I'm a girl that loves a cocktail!! Give it a try for me its therapy... Enjoy the night xo P
Two thumbs up! I love TJ Maxx, and Ross. Sometimes there is only junk, but when there are finds, there are FINDS! I once found a desiger shirt that was marked all the way down to $7.00. I ESPECIALLY like shopping there for home goods. : )
ReplyDeleteI've been a long time TJ Maxx and Marshall devotee. This is usually their low time in merchandise...keep checking back. Love it there. Also for kids...have you been to Denny's kids? locations in Jersey and Huntington Valley, PA. Worth the drive. The website is new and does not do it justice.
