I know I’ve written about going to Boston a few times but I’m very grateful for TJX (Marshalls and TJ Maxx) for inviting me to their Mom Bloggers Event. I also want to share all that fun with you. While I was there, I purchased a Halloween costume for my daughter for 15.00. It is a purple fairy costume that came with a So I know that they start very low. I’m not sure how high they go but I know that TJMaxx and Marshalls are excellent at keeping costs down because of how they purchase their high quality materials.
Just an FYI…
They do purchase in season designer clothing, purses, accessories, and retail items.
They purchase the same stuff you can find at Macy’s, Gucci, and Guess for much less and share the discounts with us.
They have less than 15 percent that is defective, and by defective I mean, a manufactured defect that is not detectable to the naked eye. The manufacturer just decided it was slightly less than perfect.
Since Halloween is a ton of fun for me I asked if I could host a giveaway. I know you can find one and still have money left over; and rumor is that if you wait until the day of Halloween, that they go on SUPER DUPER clearance on that day; instead of the day after. I know that was the longest run on sentence in the history of Mom Start.

i grew up in Hawaii, and moved to South Carolina. I found a Hawaii sweatshirt. OMG i am totally in heaven.
my greatest find was an ed hardy bag that i had always wanted but couldnt bring myself to spend 200 on. i found it at tj maxx for 49 dollars!!!! it was amazing haha
Under Armour running shorts for 19.99
my greatest shopping find so far was a set of sheets for 10 dollars…pillowcases, shams, fitted, ruffle, flat sheet, and I actually bought those and made curtain out of the ruffle so I redid a room with a king size bed for cheap
We found gourmet food items to give as Christmas gifts and to keep for ourselves!
My best find was a gorgeous Fitz and Floyd winter animal cookie jar in the clearance section after Christmas. Someone must have just returned it since it was absolutely perfect. I paid like $20 and it was worth $200.
Years ago I found a great off the shoulder black dress. I still wear it and get compliments on it every time. The best part is that it only cost me $16!
I found a wonderful dress to wear on my first boating trip. Payed about 24.00 for it. But it’s worth more like $100. It has a beautiful pattern on it that I was able to match with a pair of shoes from a garage sale.
My best find was a pair of Converse for $15.. almost a third the usual price!
I love that I can find designer goods. My favorite was a new coach purse at marshalls!
I found a great little tee at TJ Maxx.

Several years ago I found a named brand beautiful dress that was originally $75 and I bought it for $23 !! Than you for the contest!
My greatest find at Marshalls was a $400 Micheal Korrs bag for $100. I just wanted it so bad and it is still one of my favorite purses because it is big and I can put everything in it including my little mini laptop.
