TJ Maxx

This place is my crack.
The handbag selection is petty solid, and I always buy shampoo and conditioner here. Huge bottles of salon quality products at discount prices. That is what is up.

I have always been a fan of TJ Maxx stores and was excited for the remodel of the Tualatin store. What really pisses me off is when I try and buy something at this store (maybe it is at all of the stores??) & I get harassed about donating! Here is how a typical checkout goes:
Clerk: Will this be on your rewards card today?
Me: No
Clerk: Would you like to sign up for a card?
Me: No, thank you
Clerk: Would you like to donate to (insert cause here)?
Me: No
Clerk: How about we just round up your total to the next dollar and donate that?
Me: Hell no!
I am appalled that I cannot buy what I want in peace. PLEASE STOP HARASSING your customers. The nerve of this store to say that I should just round up to the next dollar is absurd. Every year I pick a charity that I research and know that all of my money is going to a good cause. I am sick and tired of being asked to donate a dollar here and there. And rounding up? You obviously know how I feel about that. Please let your customers go in peace and quit trying to gouge them every chance you get.

A good place to find housewares. I am not a huge fan of the clothes or shoes. You can find some good deals here and occasionally a unique home décor item if you are willing to spend some time looking.

This store has been going down for several months now. I come every week sometimes multiple times. I look for scarves, bags, jewelry, and housewares most of the time.
I had my eye on a necklace that I was wanting to buy. After waiting a couple weeks I came in to buy it. They actually raised the price! On prices, things are not done equitably. New management is raising prices. This is TJ Maxx not Nordstrom. As for lack of consistency, I looked at three bags by the same designer and similar size to find a $ 50 price difference. Or they try to pass mid level designer items at the same price as their higher end brands.
Also stock isn’t being put out at adequate intervals.
Management needs to rethink their approach.
I’ll rewrite this review in a few months if things change.

Amazing prices on dog toys and dog necessities. ¼ of the price for the same things you find at Petsmart & Petco.

I’ve been here twice and both times found nothing. Actually, I found a few things I liked but they happened to be super expensive! If you were making a bath gift basket they have a lot of that kind of stuff, but it’s basically like a small Ross.

Just stopped in here because I was in the neighborhood and needed a shopping fix… I found some AMAZING yoga pants that I definitely didn’t need, but absolutely had to have. There were some really great brands on the women’s clearance rack too, but nothing fit me this time around. I’m willing to share the score-​tastic-​ness of this location because I pretty much never shop in this ‘hood, otherwise I’d be keeping my mouth shut.
But the shoe selection sucked, of course. TJ Maxx is not the spot for shoes. Go to Marshall’s if you’re looking for fresh kicks. Or DSW if you are willing to pay their ridiculous prices.

I think TJ Maxx is A OK.
I like to be able to get towels, a shower curtain, sheets, and a few bathroom niceties on the cheap. I have found picture frames, cooking pans, pictures, and recently bought some books here, again, on the cheap.
The store is clean, the staff is very nice, and the Tualatin patrons are pleasant.
I will say that I find better things by being a regular shopper. Know your prices, visit frequently, and inspect the products; you will find treasures!

Okay, so it’s not Nordstrom’s BUT if you are patient AND you are not specifically looking for anything you might find something! I’m a mom of three boys so when they need clothes, they can find some cool tshirts and those shorts that go to their ankles.
Miscellaneous household items are great here like towels, décor, Oh! I need a cool platter for my party next week so I don’t just serve it on paper plates… this is where I go! So, basically, just think of it as a place where Target, First Monday, and Macy’s put their discontinued housewares stuff.
Now clothes, I have to say i bought two blouses here last week. One was a BCBG blouse, previously $ 160 for $ 25. Another Adrienne Vittadini top previously $ 80 for $$ 24.99. Yep! I’m not a label shopper but this stuff looked good on me and I would have paid more for them!
Insert quick jaw clenched, wide eyed, happy clapping here!
Give it a shot when you’re around my town!

Warning, warning, danger, danger. This used to be a pretty cool place to pick up random items, especially seasonal home decorations. Well, now I avoid it like the plague.
A few months ago, my credit card number was used by someone else and I suspect it might have been part of this reported data breach at TJ’s.
So shop if you must, but pay cash.
