Went to TJM yesterday and saw Jack Rodgers sandles for under 50$ and Patricia Nash handbags really inexpersive. I wasn't interested in either was just surprised.

A lot of time the most of the pieces are considered seconds that some little imperfection makes them seconds. Get out your magnifying glass because you will need it. As far as Patricia Nash it could be free and I would pass it up especially the maps.

@Katcat1 By law, any merchandise that is a second must be labeled as such. You shouldn't need a magnifying glass.

@Kachina624 you may be right about that but how about defective?

@rockygems123 I hadn't been to my local TJMaxx in a while and the last couple of weeks I stopped by and saw several Patricia Nash items. A couple of wristlets for $24 (PN price of $69) and a couple of totes (basic brown, no print) for $79, and a crossbody/wallet for $59.

I live in Southern California, and you have to go often at my store or the items will be gone! I bought both of the wristlets, one was brown and the other was brown/turquoise with the flower design embossed on one side. So happy I stopped by!

You may want to try their online store, since many items I see at the store are available on line.

I am in Franklin TN., 20 miles outside Nashvile. Was surprised by the comments about not seeing imperfections. Why assume my inability to look carefully. There was nothing wrong with the merchandise. Yes, if you choose to buy you feel it, work the zippers etc. I hesitated to post the original thinking some would find excuses but it was so blatant I couldn't resist. Thanks for those who can benefit. It is always fun shopping TJM.

Here's the real scoop on the TJMAXX Companies, This is from an article from Business Insider---

Business Insider/Mary Hanbury

How does TJMAXX keep prices low? According to the company, much of it comes down to the way TJ Maxx buys its merchandise. It purchases stock from manufacturers that make too much and department stores that overbuy, and it jumps on deals at the end of the season.
Here's how TJ Maxx sells its designer goods at such low prices:
TJ Maxx is an off-price retailer, meaning it sells brand names and designer products for 20-60% less than department stores and other retailers.
TJ Maxx's buyers search year-round for products.

TJ Maxx gets its inventory from a few different sources, including boutique labels, designer brands, and up-and-coming labels.

TJ Maxx also has merchandise manufactured exclusively for its stores, which saves the company money and allows it to pass those savings along to shoppers.

When manufacturers overproduce items, TJ Maxx takes advantage and negotiates to get lower prices for the excess inventory. It does the same when department stores overbuy.

The diversity in TJ Maxx's buying methods helps the retailer pass savings on to customers. It buys orders that department stores canceled ...... surplus products from manufacturers ...... and closeout deals at the end of a season.

Many of the designer products it sells are from past seasons, so they can be bought and sold for less.

TJ Maxx also passes along savings by keeping its store design no-frills and passing the savings to its customers.
