Q&A WIth T.J. Maxx

Sonya Cosentini, a spokesperson for TJ Maxx, was kind enough to answer my questions about back-to-school shopping and her company.

What do you say to a kid who thinks she's too cool to shop at T.J. Maxx?

Shopping at off-price retailers is a win-win for both mom and kid—they can find the trends and mall-store names they are looking for and you as a parent can stay within your budget.  The best way to explain to your kids is to show them.  Ask them to go through a magazine or online and point out the looks they want to create for their back to school wardrobe.

Have them make a list, and then take them to T.J. Maxx first. They’ll be surprised that they will find all of those trends right there!  T.J. Maxx even has those same mall-store brands that kids crave, and once they see those in the rack, and parents explain how much more they can get by purchasing them there instead of the mall, they will be on board!

How much money can a typical family save at T.J. Maxx for back to school shopping?

Families can save hundreds of dollars on a back to school wardrobe by shopping off-price.  For example, a hoodie you might find at a mall-store will be up to 60% less at T.J. Maxx.  With the purchase of that piece alone, now you have more room in your budget for the other things your child needs to go back to school in style—like a new backpack or pair of sneakers!
 
What are the hottest fashion trends for girls this year?
 
There are so many amazing looks out there this season for girls! For the little girl, try colored skinny leg jeans with sparkly belts paired with a buffalo plaid tunic or graphic printed t-shirts.  Little girls express themselves with t-shirts with peace signs, butterflies and hearts on sublimation and watercolor patterns.  Printed scarves that feature the same patterns or tie-dye will be the must-have accessory for back to school.  

For teen girls, it’s all about recreating their favorite teen tv celebrity look! For that upper east side style try skinny jeans with a plaid ruffled blouse and cropped jacket. Detailed ballet flats and brooches complete any preppy look. For the rocker teen, you’ll see them rocking leggings with cuts, rips, tears or lace trim, heeled booties and a tunic under a leather motorcycle jacket.  With plaid all the rage this year, the ‘grunge’ look is easy to achieve: pair torn and worn jeans with a buffalo plaid tunic and chunky heels.

What are the hottest fashion trends for boys this year?

It’s really all about the basics and how to layer those basics to create must-have looks for both boys and girls this back to school season! For boys, you’ll see madras plaid in shorts, paired with collared shirts and striped sweaters. For a more casual, rocker look, boys will don printed t-shirts with skulls and vintage rock band logos with worn jeans and a funky hooded sweatshirt.
 
 

 

How is T.J. Maxx able to provide designer labels at such cheap prices?  Are these items damaged in some way?

 There are many ways that we are able to offer amazing value on designer merchandise, a few:

  • Buying closer to need: Our buyers travel 40+ weeks per year to negotiate with more than 10,000 vendors in over 60 countries (vs. department stores who buy seasonally). This allows more opportunity to score great deals.
  • Flexible “no walls” concept: Because not all stores carry the same merchandise, the buyers are able to buy either a large quantity to carry in all stores or only a few pieces to carry in select stores.  For example, if a vendor has enough fabric to produce 600,000 blouses, but a department store only ordered 500,000, off-price buyers will purchase the extra 100,000 blouses – at a significant discount – and carry them in part of the chain.
  • Company owned distribution centers: T.J. Maxx and Marshalls’ nationwide distribution system allows for faster processing of goods to stores.  Therefore, buyers can purchase merchandise up until the last minute of any given season – not only allowing them to respond to trends much more quickly than other retailers (who buy several seasons in advance), but also allowing them to “swoop in” and negotiate a better deal by waiting until a vendor is highly motivated to sell.
  • We buy it, we own it: Unlike department and specialty store buyers, off-price buyers never return merchandise to their vendors. This motivates vendors to provide a better price up-front.
  • No sales ever: Off-price stores offer low prices every day, so the customer never has to wait for a sale.  Periodically, at the end of a season, any unsold merchandise will go on clearance, providing even further customer savings.
  • Don’t pay for the display:  Another way the stores can keep prices low is by keeping their operating costs low. Rather than invest in expensive fixtures and fancy displays, off-price retailers focus on giving customers the best merchandise at a great price.

Besides price, are there any other differences between shopping at T.J. Maxx vs. department stores?

T.J.Maxx buys differently that department stores, which is the main way we are able to offer amazing values on the same merchandise to consumers. We also don’t pay for the expensive fixtures and fancy displays---so we can focus on keeping costs down for the consumer.  Our merchandise is also organized differently, by size and department as opposed to designer.  

More Insider Tips From Fat Wallet

Brian, who works for T.J. Maxx as a service coordinator, shared some great insider tips on how to maximize savings at T.J. Maxx.  Here are some of his best tips:

Yellow stickers are final clearance, so don't expect more markdowns if you see an item with yellow stickers.

Look at the upper right of a T.J. Maxx price ticket. There is a 2 digit number. This number is the month the item came into the store and this number goes up to 24. The current month is 14. If an item is more than 2 months old but doesn't have a yellow or red sticker then kindly ask an associate to check for a markdown for you. Most likely the item was missed and you could save a lot of money. Also, if it’s more than 4 months before with one red sticker the associate can ask the manager to check the computer in the office for additional markdown but this is less likely to happen.

If an Item has damage and no markdown or one. you could get an additional markdown, just ask. 

If you see an item you want. sometimes it would be best if you wait a bit and come back when its marked down. Markdowns are 33%, which is a good savings Read all 10 tips at Fat Wallet

Good luck with the contest everyone.  I look forward to reading your comments!

I always purchase jeans and dresses from TJ Maxx. Although sometimes they have shoes in my size and I get those, too!

I learned that buying the same or similar styles at the mall will cost at least 60% more than buying that same style (or many times the same item at T.J. Maxx or Marshalls. And kids can buy all the cool styles and learn the value of a dollar at the same time.

I was so glad to learn about the yellow and red coded tags. So often, I'll walk away from something thinking I'll come back next time to find it marked down even more and I'm often disappointed to not find the items on the return visit. Now, I know what the final markdown is and I will be able to make an instant decision--yes I can or no I'll have to walk away. I am a single mom who has tried to teach my kids by example how to bargain shop--they both are now adult regulars at TJMax and Marshalls while I've also become a frequent Home Goods visitor. I have been able to pick up several wonderful decorative items to fluff my home as well as for gifts over the last several months (bedspreads and pillows do wonders for fluffing and updating). I love these stores--I visit but never shop in "brand" stores--I can't afford to waste my hard-earned money.

Awesome! I was not aware that I could buy trendy fashions in season, right up until the end of that season! I can't tell you the number of times I've looked for a bathing suit in August, only to find the latest fall fashions and little more than a size 1 peach bikini on the clearance rack. I will definitely be visiting TJ Maxx soon!

In San Diego, two of the best places to buy tennis clothes from major brands (Nike, Adidas, Fila, etc) are TJMAXX & Marshalls. I've found sport bras, technical tops, and warm-up suits for half-off.

In the San Diego area, TJX's flexible no-walls concept makes sense because the demographics in communities can vary a lot. That matters when you're looking for specialized clothing items.

We always tell our racket sports customers that the Marshalls on Lomas Santa Fe (Solana Beach) and the TJMaxx in Encinitas have an excellent selection of tennis clothes.

I love shopping at TJ Maxx & have been doing so for over twenty years. The main reason I began shopping at TJ Maxx is the same reason I continue to shop there , quality name brand merchandise at value prices. I began shopping there before my 1st child was born , and thanks to TJ Maxx, I was able to afford beautiful maternity clothing and to outfit her nursery with the most up to date bedding that I could not have otherwise afforded. Wonderful children's clothing & educational toys & books were on top of my list.
Now my child is in her 2nd year of college & carries on the tradition of shopping at TJ Maxx.
What I learned form your interview was that your buyers travel 40 weeks per year to many different countries to snag the best deals !

My favorite tip about TJ Maxx is that the yellow tags are final clearance and that mark-downs are 33%....that's great! Didn't know those 2 lil' tid-bits!!

I've bought lots of shoes and bags at my local TJ Maxx....great stuff you really can't find anywhere else!!!!

My back to school tip is that I usually wait until right before school starts or after school starts to get school items and clothing.....usually it's on clearance that late, plus, my 3 kids have enough clothing from last school year to get by the first 2 weeks of school until I can get them some new clothes!!
They just gotta suck it up for a few weeks!!

Recently,I was chosen to take 3 teenage girls shopping for clothing for picture day.Needless to say,I was not looking forward to this chore.We went to Wal mart but they were unable to find what they were looking for so I took them to TJ MAXX.At first they ran wild,from one item to another,but then,to my surprise,they each found exactly what they wanted.They each had 50.00 and they had enough left over to buy lunch.It was a new experience for me and I go shopping at TJ MAXX often now.

I am a loyal TJMaxx shopper! One of the best values anywhere is the personal care selections. Many European cleansers, soaps and spa items are far superior than the American options. If TJMaxx didn't carry these items, they would otherwise be extremely difficult to find, often only in salons and specialty stores etc... I have found and loved Italian, French & English soaps & lotions, Swiss Spa facial cleansers, even a creamy Jasmine shampoo from Thailand! They also carry high-end names such as Elizabeth Arden and Essie. My secret occassional little uplift is to find and try something new to enjoy! TJMaxx never dissapoints when trying to find a special splurge as a gift or for myself...thanx MAX! :)

I don't pay full price for anything and it's great that I can shop name brand items & pay much less than department stores. That's why I always choose TJ Maxx. They always have way better prices on the great brands I love. I feel that every purchase I've made at TJ Maxx has been a good deal! :D

I found out a long time ago that you can purchase name brand items for less than sale prices at TJMaxx. I bought a pair of Tommy Hilfiger jeans for $24.99, which is less than half at Dept. store price.
I also bought an animal print wool rug for my home office for $99.99, which would have easily cost double at full retail.
I will forgo the fancy displays any day of the week to get a bargain that makes my wallet happy!

I bought a pair of plain black pants at TJ Maxx earlier this summer for only $14.99. I work at a bank and have to dress professionally, so I wear them several times a week. They are amazing and not only do I wear them to work, but out with friends as well! I can wear them with sandals, flats, or boots. I get compliments on them all the time-at work, at home, or out. They are probably one of my favorite purchases of all time. They fit well, they're cute, and they were inexpensive!

I also love shopping for gifts at TJ Maxx-they have such a wide variety of stuff I was able to get all four of my sibling's birthday presents there. With brand name stuff (like Burt's Bees products for 1/3 of the price!) I didn't look cheap. My family loved their gifts, and it didn't break my budget.

This is going to be a surprise - but I have had success buying facial care products, soap, creams and lotions at TJ Maxx. That sort of product is there. And my school buying tip is DON'T DO IT! Buy the clothes around the year at sales, etc. Too often a kid won't know what they really want to wear until they see the fashion of others. If your kid isn't a style leader - wait until school starts to do any substantial buying.

I was just in TJ Maxx last weekend and they had amazing designer denim on sale. You can get Joe's, Sevens, Hudsons, and a lot more brands. I never knew they carried these sorts of brands! I wound up getting a Ben Sherman cardigan - I love it.
