The beauty section at TJ Maxx had a better mix of well-known brands. And unlike at Ross, it didn't look as if they had already been opened and tested.
In this section, we were reminded that this is still an off-price store. Some areas were more chaotic. As TJ Maxx is an international company, it stocks a diverse mix of brands, sourcing products from over 20, vendors in countries. And the designs were targeted to all ages. We came across a section of clothing that was specific to that location. There was a lot of variety in the kids' section of the store, and it was easy to shop.
These companies have all said they are looking to scale back from the off-price channel to improve their brand image. In February , TJ Maxx pulled away from the Ivanka Trump brand and told employees to throw away signs advertising it. We found a pair of Ivanka Trump trousers hidden in the clearance section.

As we headed to the cashier, we came across TJ Maxx's food section. Here, you could find anything from Himalayan sea salt to an expensive-looking jar of pickles. According to Bon Appetit, TJ Maxx stocks food items made especially for it, rather than selling overstock. The walk to the cashier is the last chance shoppers have to grab a bargain — and there's more than enough for the taking. TJ Maxx positioned some of its smaller items and grab-and-go produce here for customers making a speedy visit.

Which means they are buying for Christmas right into early December making them a great place to shop if you procrastinate this year on your Christmas gift list.
People either love or hate Ross. There is not a lot of middle ground when it comes to the discount store. The stores often look like a small tornado has gone through and many of the floors appear to have not been mopped since the Clinton administration.
But people go for the amazingly low prices, not the ambiance. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your next shopping trip. Give yourself plenty of time to look through the racks of often unorganized clothing, shoes, purses, luggage, and home goods. Their buyers do NOT buy a ton of any certain item as they try to keep inventory costs as low as possible. What this means to the shopper is that deals are here today, long gone tomorrow. I can attest to this personally.
A few years ago I found this really cool Calvin Klein shirt at my local Ross store, bought it, wore it a few times, and it quickly became a gamer.
