I used to work for a Marshalls/HomeGoods combination store before I moved, and I loved it there for the most part. The managers were great, my co-workers were great, the bargains were affordable, and dare I say it, my customers loved me. Yes, I was enthusiastic, and it was contagious. It wasn’t a perfect job (few are) but it was a really good experience for me. The poor economy brings out bargain hunters, and they abound at the TJX brand.
I am a fan of even lower priced stores like Dollar Tree. The opening of numerous Dollar Tree stores seems to have induced area WalMarts to drop the prices on popular OTC drugs and add bins of low priced candies and movie DVDs.
“Sure, what off-price stores actually offer are lower-quality merchandise made for that market and “original” prices with no basis in reality. “
The $199.00 “value” for $89.00 are more common.
Nordstrom Rack is terrific according to my family members.

Bargains my ass!
There are brands and product lines from famous brands that are only found at discount stores and outlets.
The Marshall’s closest to me is closed.
I just read that TJ Maxx and Marshalls have the same bathroom policy as Target.
Almost all chinese or foreign made items.
shop those stores, but you are not supporting American manufacturing.
Love these stores - especially the food. At Christmas, they have British items like Turkish Delight which you cannot find anywhere in America. Also, exotic spices, jams, salts, mustards, etc. In fact, their kitchen and dining items are lovely. They recently had copper pots and pans - beautifully polished at low prices - for sale.
