Marshalls and T.J. Maxx Fall Fashions
It’s fall fashion at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls. Nearly everything is marked down already, so you can easily get some good deals.
If you didn’t know the two companies are owned by the same parent company, so they are often put together. Marshalls has tons of shoes as well as the CUBE which is for juniors. T.J. Maxx has a stronger selection of Jewelry and a RUNWAY section which is inside select T.J. Maxx locations.
However chances are you already are a fan of their off-priced merchandise. You can take a look at this Youtube video and get a little more information. It’s actually pretty funny.
As I mentioned I was given a gift card to see how I liked Marshalls and share my shopping experience.
Marshalls Shopping Trip Review
First off let me tell you that off-the-rack type of stores scare me, it can be intimidating. Upon walking into Marshalls I was actually surprised at how big it was!
Honestly it did take me a little bit to find what I wanted in the mens section. I was also shopping for one of the hardest things, which were jeans! The problem is each brand seems to measure different, so I could find the jeans I would want in one size but not the other (main problem with off-the-rack).
I do want to note that my girlfriend had no trouble in finding things for her and did try to persuade me to use the gift card on her! Everything from shoes to shirts, and I think even a purse.
After two trips to the dressing room I picked out a very nice pair of jeans as well as a great button down shirt. I thought it would be interesting to do “before and after” shots of how I looked going in and what I came out with.
The outfit I had on was probably about $18. $15 for the basketball shorts, and $3 for the t-shirt. For the Marshalls outfit I spent $38 and I think looking pretty sharp. I could have even gone cheaper with the jeans, but the ones I picked out were too tight or too big, these were just right.
Lastly I was surprised of all the brand names! Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Ecko, CK, and Levi just to name a few. I didn’t expect to see some of these things marked down on clearance. Too bad the Ecko jeans I found were too big!

I am a new friend, visiting the website and being a fan on Twitter and Facebook. If I had the $25 gift card, I would love to be able to use it on Christmas presents. Here in Chicagoland it is already begining to feel like winter, so that would be a great way to get into the spirit of the season!
I would keep the money and buy more business clothes. I have been working in a more professional environment and need to dress accordingly. I have gained a little weight and have become limited in my choices.

My wife told me to signup
Since I am recently unemployed along with 1/2 of America, I would use the card to help my sister in law with her new baby at Christmas.
If I were to win the gift card I would like to put it towards a gift for my husband who has cancer and never asks for anything for himself. I would like to buy him a little gift from the heart. Something for him, something that would be his and his alone. He always worries about my son and myself and puts himself last ALL THE TIME.
I would buy a pair of shoes for myself.

I would use it for my Grandson’s B’day
If I won, I would love to buy myself something, but I would probably use it to get my 2 year old some new pants. He seems to have outgrown all of his. I am a fan on facebook.

Being on a fixed income, this sure would help me with Christmas presents for the grandchildren.

I’d love to win this Gift card. I love Marshalls & TJ Maxx! They have the best clothes, ever for a great price! I’d love to win this because I need new clothes for the fall/winter. I would buy myself some new jeans, and a nice shirt for a BRAND NEW look. The gift card would definitely be for myself, so I can treat myself to something nice for a change. I always go out of my way to buy things and do things for everyone else, and I think being able to do something for myself, would be the PERFECT gift.
Thank you for taking the time to consider me for this fantastic prize
If I won…..I would buy some toys……. for “toys for tots” with the gift card,,,,I am already thinking about all the little kids that will need a gift this year, especially with the economy so bad.
I would buy something for myself. I always buy for our son, husband, or the house.
I’m a facebook fan.
I would so spend it on myself…. no sob story here, mama needs a new pair of shoes! =)
Thia would be awesome, I could take my kids and buy them new cloths.. my son is growing like a weed, but my bank account is not growing. Kinda makes a single mom scared when you see they need and your funds are limited
I would buy some new clothes for work since I just got a job after being unemployed for 4 months!
I will give my mommy the best gift ever!!!!
I would spend it on MYSELF! I’m a stay at home mom and every penny hubby makes goes towards kids needs and bills. I love Christmas and would look for something at TJMaxx to bring a holiday smile to the family
Mama needs a new pair of shoes! : )
I will go out and buy me a nice shirt and pants and ask a girl out for the first time ._.
I would definitely intend to spend the $25 on something necessary (jeans or socks) but probably walk out with something completely frivolous (candles, holiday decor, more shoes).
Facebook fan!
I’d use the gift card to get something for a dear friend’s birthday.
I would use it to buy some professional clothes because I am just starting clincals!
i would spend it on some early christmas shopping!
I would get my husband some clothes, so he can take me out to dinner sometime without a raggety shirt on! Thanks for the chance!
I’d try to stretch the money as far as I could for Christmas gifts!
I would give it to my 16 year old sister in law for Christmas!
I would definitely be buying some early stocking stuffers for my girls. My husband had been out of work for 5 months, so gift giving is going to be lean this year and this would bring back some fun.
I would probably buy either baby clothes for my son, or christmas presents for my sister. =)
I’d likely be spending the money on some bath towels for our bathroom and maybe some jelly bellys.
