TJ Maxx & Marshalls $25 Gift Card Giveaway

TJ Maxx & Marshalls $25 GC Giveaway

Father’s Day is right around the corner and I have been a total slacker. No joke.. I planned my usual trip the day before in an attempt to try and hunt down the perfect gift for my impossible husband. We had already decided on a DQ cake from the kids and both kids have already made cards… but otherwise.. I was stuck!! Luckily, TJ Maxx & Marshalls  came to my rescue with great gift ideas for all types of dads!! I was able to find a great gift for my husband and cannot wait to celebrate with the kids!

  • For the “Techie” Dad: If dad is always in search of the newest gadgets, why not pick up some great accessories to pair with them. Get some MP3 add-ons like speakers, headphones or a leather carrying case to make his music listening experience a special one. You can also grab some fun laptop and office supplies that can make work more enjoyable.
  • For the “Sports Enthusiast”: For the sports fanatic in your life purchase  some apparel from his favorite sports team so he can showcase his pride. You can complete the package with a new pair of brand-name sneakers.
  • For The Gourmet Chef Fanatic: With summer right around the corner help get him prepared with grilling tools and unique spices. A new recipe book and apron will guarantee a summer full of tasty treats.
  • For the “Beach Bum”: If dad is happiest at the beach, help him update those faded swim trunks and worn out flip flops with brand new beach gear.Add in a beach towel and a pair of designer shades to complete the look.

So, what did I really think?

Honestly, I had never step foot into a Marshalls prior to this event. We do have a close TJ Maxx but the location is not one of my favorites. I was on a mission to find a great priced item.. and I did just that. Now, I am not planning to reveal my gift for fear my husband may be watching… but I will tell you that the stores really offer a bang for your buck.

Most stores have a clearance/sale department but they are often cluttered, disorganized, and just plain annoying to pick through. That is the difference between traditional department stores and “Off-Price” shopping stores like TJ Maxx and Marshalls…. the entire store is discounted!!

Why Off-Price is Better

    I love to shop at our thrift store for clothes. Because we live in a more expensive area, people give away their beautiful Ann Taylor outfits (many times with the tags still on!). I can get them for extremely cheap, and have a nice Sunday outfit. :)

    I love buying higher quality, brand name clothes…but cannot typically afford to do so. For some great deals, I have set up several (very specific) searches on eBay for particular brands…as well as the size and type of clothing that I am seeking (i.e. jeans, shirt, sweater, etc.).

    Along the same lines, you really can’t beat T.J. Maxx for incredible deals on name-brand clothing!!

    Thanks!

    if you pay attention, sometimes stores like Gordman’s, TJ Maxx etc, will mark down their clearance items, for example 33% off of their already cheap clearance stuff. That’s where most of my little guys’ clothes come from!

    My frugalista fashion tip is to build your wardrobe around classic and timeless pieces (black pants, khakis, solid tees) and then just add updated jewelry and other accessories to keep the look more modern without spending a fortune. I can find great accessories on clearance at most stores.

    my tip is to head for the clearance and sale racks only.
    I never go to the racks with the new items.
    Big after the 4th sales should be kicking now at TJ Maxx and Marshalls, hooray!

    I go straight to the clearance racks at TJ Maxx. They usually have really good deals.
