[Win a $250 giftcard] What are the best buys at bargain stores like Marshalls?

[elysium29]

my fave bargains at mashalls/tj maxx are generally housewares and wardrobe fill-ins. in the last six months i've also gotten some great deals on one of my fave shoe brand - Børn!

I would say undergarments-- I'm loving my 14 dollar Calvin Klein bras-- and shoes.

My best buys have been in good name clothing for amazing prices. Jones NY, Eileen Fischer, and others. It takes some patience, and more important consistency to look regularly, but I've found some amazing pieces.

I shop at TJMaxx and Marshalls primarily for three things:

1. Purses - I just bought an adorable green purse by Nine West!
2. Shoes - Again, Nine West is a favorite. I can find good brands at low prices.
3. Workout clothes - I recently took up running and love shirts with "wicking" fabric to keep my cool. At TJMaxx and Marshalls, I can actually afford them! They always seem to have plenty of options.

I buy socks at Marshall's.
I also peruse the shoe aisle at Marshall's because I am always on the look-out for nice leather-soled flats for to wear during the day instead of the usual sneakers and flip-flops.

Everything, but especially shoes.

At the two Marshalls stores close to me, the best buys are the random home decor and kitchenware. Even has the cool Euro brands that go for $$$$ at stores like BedBathand Beyond.
Clothing is a hit or miss...you really hvae to pick thru the racks. Also I've noticed that even though there are designer labels, the quality is still "off." For example, the Ralph Lauren polo shirts were thin cotton and practically see-through. APparantly, they keep the Blue and Black label high quality for department stores and send lower quality (but still w/ horsie logo) to Marshalls. Go figure.
Still, you can score very well if you're looking for athletic clothing. TONS of the dri-max and performance quality tees and shorts for a couple of bucks. For those of us who dont really need to wear Juicy velour while working out =)

Shoes and dresses are the best buys

I stock up on sizes 3X (XXX-Large) T-shirts!!! No place has them as far as discount prices, I been to other stores and shelled out wads of cash to buy this size. I also like to bargain hunt the furniture section or luggage nice prices and good quality, and while I am at it I shop for many peoples gifts at Marshalls!!
