’Not me looking at flights to Boston’: Woman says not every T.J. Maxx is made the same. Then she reveals which cities has the best deals

Everyone knows that you can get killer deals at T.J. Maxx. But did you know that you could get even more value for money, based on the branch you shop at? A TikToker who claims her friend is a buyer for T.J. Maxx went viral for sharing this tip in a TikTok that has amassed 1.2 million views.

“Now every region for T.J. Maxx has like, different buying demands,” Bryce Gruber (@brycegruber) explained. “So what you find in a store in Ohio is not going to be the same as what you find in like a Virginia store or a New York store, or, you know, their headquarters […] actually in the Boston area.”

She continued that the stores with the “best deals” on the most expensive brands up to 90% off will go to ” either Westchester, certain parts of Connecticut, southern Connecticut, specifically the outskirts of Boston, or North Miami.”

Gruber says, “Any other region, you’re getting good stuff, but like not the really good stuff.”

In the comments, many were grateful for the tips

“Not me looking at flights to Boston to go to T.J. Maxx,” one joked in a comment.

“I need the exact location for north Miami,” another added. While a third admitted, “Girl we knew this that’s why I MUST visit a TJ Maxx anywhere I go in the USA.”

In a follow-up video, Gruber was a little more specific about where exactly you could find these T.J. Maxx stores. Locations included New York City, Palm Beach County, Broward County, Boca Raton, Norwalk, Cape Cod, and Bergen County.

Gruber didn’t immediately respond to The Mary Sue’s request for comment via TikTok comment and email.

Does T.J. Maxx stock really vary depending on the store?

While this isn’t said directly by the chain, it’s pretty likely that stock varies based on the T.J. Maxx store because of its opportunistic buying style. Per the T.J.X. website, the business “takes advantage of a wide variety of opportunities, which can include department store cancellations, a manufacturer making up too much product, or a closeout deal when a vendor wants to clear merchandise at the end of a season.”

The site also claims that new stock is regularly shipped to stores several times a week, and that “store managers typically don’t know what’s coming until they throw open the delivery truck doors.”

According to T.J.X., there often isn’t any replenishment stock. Given that each store gets its own shipment, it seems likely that T.X.J. stock varies depending on the store you go to. T.J. Maxx didn’t immediately respond to The Mary Sue’s request for comment via email.
