The Maxx for the Minimum

16 Jan 2005 By

T.J. Maxx is my new favorite store.

I was noticing that all the nice pants I bought a while back don’t fit anymore. As such I have exactly one pair of pants that’s not jeans that actually fits well, so I went on a mission to find a pair of khakis. I headed towards the nearest Old Navy, but on a whim I went into the neighboring T.J. Maxx first.

I’d only been in a T.J. Maxx once before, and I was tagging along with someone else at the time, so I didn’t really pay much attention to what all was in there.

Long story short, I picked up three pairs of very nice pants for $38. One pair of Tommy Hilfiger (!) khakis and two pairs of dressier “career wear” pants. I passed on socks and a pair of snazzy brown boots/shoes. I need brown shoes. I have plenty of black shoes, but no brown ones. I think I’m gonna make a list now for when I get my next check. I could use some non-t-shirt-shirts, too.

Mmm… shopping…. :9

    I love that store. Unfortunately, I can’t shop there much because I have a problem. I want everything and I always end up spending too much because everything is just so inexpensive. My name is Kathy and I’m a shopaholic. ;)

    I love TJM! In particular I have an addition to winter scarves, I own nearly as many as I own pairs of shoes (ok maybe it’s an addiction to accessories in general) and they get really unique, gorgeous Italian-knit scarves for under $20 *swoon*. But it’s a ‘thrill of the hunt’ kind of store.. you gotta enjoy digging!
