I've found some really great deals here. You just have to come like every week if you're into bargain shopping like me. They've got a great shoe selection usually, I've scored a couple of pairs of Cole Haan Nike Air heels for like 40-50 bucks along with some other great brands of shoes like Tahari, Sam Edelman and your usual Steve Maddens, Nine West etc. too for super cheap.
The key is being patient and scouring the racks. If I ever need a suit again I'm coming here. They had Jones New York, Theory (!) and Calvin Klein suits the other day on sale for $50.00!! Sometimes their dress section sucks but other times I've gotten some great deals. They also have a great selection of Michael Stars T's and C&C California T's which are sold at Neimans and Nordstrom for way more. The workout clothing section is pretty top notch too. Also, there's a Ross two stores down that has a pretty good shoe selection too but that's about it.
I come here at least twice a month whenever I am dateless on a Friday night. Of course, I'm missing out on Ghost Whisperer but I don't think Jennifer Love Hewitt misses me too much.
I love designer jeans. TJ usually has a few selections of Seven for All Mankind, Joe's, Hudson, and True Religion but I never find any my size. Then again, I'm a tiny person. Today, there was a crap load of True Religion jeans for 100 bucks and usually it goes for 200. I was tempted, of course, and took 2 pairs with me to try on. After standing in the dressing room for 15 minutes, I decided to save my money. Odd of me.
There's a good selection of designers from Michael Kors to BCBG to brands that you'll find at the mall for probably 50 to 75 percent off. To me, the best part in coming here is browsing through everything. Sure, I spend at least 1 hour in here. Maybe that's excessive but I have nothing else to do. The men's clothes are decent. There's some polo shirts from Ralph Lauren for 20 bucks cheaper. I tell my Dad to come here to shop since he loves polo shirts but he'd rather go to Macys and spend more money. Whatever.
The shoe selection is decent. I think the selection at Ross has more than at TJ but TJ has better designers. Your choice. I did buy a yoga mat and a dumbbell kit for $15. I just used it and the quality is very good. I bet this will be the last time that I'll use it. I'll leave it in the living room so my friends think I work out. There's a lot of really good purses. I saw a Cole Haan purse for 60% off. Dillards had this exact purse for 300 smackaroos.
I take a star off because it takes about 10 to 15 minutes waiting in line. I've been here when there was only 1 cashier with 10 people waiting in line. Today, there were 3 cashier and it still took 15 minutes. Odd.
I love perusing this store at regular intervals to find unexpected treasures hidden on its shelves. You have to be diligent, but you will find things you MUST have, especially in the home furnishings//kitchen department.
Among my finds have been scharffenberger chocolate bars at more than 35% off, stainless steel cookware that rivals all-clad for a fraction of the price, kitchen gadgets galore, good quality kids toys and books at VERY cheap prices, some delicious BBQ sauce, some great wine glasses cheaper than I could buy throw-away plastic glasses, nice, soft full-sized bath towels for 4.99 in bright colors, a spritzer bottle of truffle-infused oil from Napa for only 4.99 that was amazing..... Oh -- and my lovely Tumi briefcase was about 60% off. I don't find many clothes here and never shoes. The jewelry is definitely worth checking out, though.
Yes, the flourescent lights are harsh and there is a lot of crap but you just have to wade through stuff and if you don't find something the first time, you probably will your second.
This is really a 2 to 5 star place depending on what day you go & what treasures you find. I think of these type of places as being kinda like garage sales where they take credit cards. Kinda messy with kinda narrow isles but good things can be found. I got some nice jeans last week for $14.99 and my son got a "Gansta" shirt for $11.99 that all his friends are pining after. The good thing about this store is that it is next to Ross, so if you find nothing here you can pop over to Ross for pretty much the same experience.
