TJ Maxx

I enjoy window shopping here once in a while.
Even though we seldom buy anything, I adore the home section in particular. It’s usually brimming with cool knickknacks, wall décor items, lamps, the odd accent chairs and ornament tables thrown in for good measure.
There’s so much beauty to behold here. It’s like a poor man’s art gallery. Or an Ikea on a more manageable level. And the best thing about TJ Maxx: prices aren’t exorbitant. Which’s just as well considering the fact that it’s a discount retailer.
I can totally see myself decorating our apartment with stuff bought from TJ Maxx if I had a ton of money. As things currently stand, I’m just content browsing through the aisles, oohing and aahing at all the lovely stuff from a distance!

Great place! Usually it’s picked over by the college students so it’s not the best location but overall you can usually get a good deal if you’re lucky. I love to go on Thursdays which is when their new truck stop has come through so you’re likely to get some great deals!

Store review:
At least they have a TJ maxx in Champaign. Although it is not well stocked compared to other locations up north and they don’t seem to have as much on yellow tag discount you can still find name brand items for cheaper than Macy. Maybe there will be better sales later on. The store itself is a bit cramped and the aisles very small. You have your selection of clothes, home good, and and same electronic accessories. I wish they would expand on that selection more. If you have time to search for deals than this is a place to come to.
Pros: discount name brand items
Cons: smaller inventory, not many items of yellow tag sale
Hidden deals:
Search high and low for red and yellow tag items

What a huge home department. I was surprised based on the size of the store, how much was devoted to home. The men’s department is SORELY lacking. Need more higher end items. Hard to find the departments you needed– they could improve layout and signage. Never did see the men’s shoe department. Good selection of activewear for women. Improvements needed in the top department– I was looking for more casual items. A better selection of toys than some other stores. A better selection of books that other stores.

they are also getting a really good selection of gluten-​free products, particularly mixes, bars, cookies, snacks, that kind of thing. However, they are randomly scattered all over the store so you really have to do a treasure hunt.

I will review this TJ Maxx without comparing it to others I have been to. Okkaay so here goes:
I mainly shopped within the Juniors’ section and a little in the Womens’, and my finds turned out to be great. It also helped that there was a great sell going on, where I was able to snag shirts/​blouses around the price range of $ 3-​$ 7ea. (oh yeah it was a steep clearance sale with «have to go/​out of season (summer) items «b/​c at the time it was fall). I like the variety of styles you can shop for as well, you can find a decent variety (urban style, clean-​cut style/​preppy, or artsy/​contemporary style). The only bad instance I encountered was when I went here searching for a cute two piece swimming suit (tankini w/​shorts), but they just had boring basics of hard-​core/​bare bikinis and one-​pieces. Overall, I have to say the store is alright.

Probably my fav place to shop in Champaign. I’ve gotten a lot of awesome pieces for my apt there, including bath and kitchen stuff. The clothes can be hit or miss but when you find something, it’s usually pretty awesome. This is a pretty great spot to spent a rainy afternoon if you’ve got the time!

Very hit-​or-​miss, like most discount stores, but with some patience and a keen eye, you’re bound to find something cute eventually. This T.J. Maxx doesn’t seem to carry as many high-​end brands as others I’ve been to, but they still have some good stuff. I’d definitely recommend this store to someone shopping on a budget!

I’m not familiar with Tj Maxx… but it’s like a Marshall’s! They have some pretty high end stuff too, like Lucky Jeans and Juicy sunglasses. Anyway, I picked up a really cute Michael Kors tank and a cashmere sweater! If you’re willing to take the time to sift through the stuff here, I’m sure you’d find lots of awesome things. It’s sort of like a treasure hunt where you are always guaranteed something good! And what’s awesome is there seems to be a larger selection for the smaller sizes.. .which is obviously good for me: P
