I don’t know why I haven’t been to either of these stores lately because I like going there for some good deals. So, it was really nice to have this challenge because I was glad I got to go and look around. I was really surprised by TJ Maxx. I had NO idea they had a home decor section (which was half this store). I am not sure if all stores are like that or not, but it was really nice! I was really in the market for toys for my son for Christmas, but I decided to get everyone a little something. I noticed that both of the stores had pretty much the same toys for the same price which was kind of shocking because discount stores never have the same stuff it seems like. Of course with this time of year the crowd was huge and the lines were long. TJ Maxx seemed to be a nicer built store (at least the one I visited). They had a great selection of clothes as well.
Next, I went to TJ Maxx. I purchased an izod sweater for $19.99 (compare to $36) for myself and a pair of pajamas for $4.99 (compare to $8) for my daughter. I spent $24.98 (compared to $44)!
