I’m a pro bargain hunter & have 5 rules to stick to in TK Maxx to bag the best deals – plus where to ALWAYS look first
A PRO bargain hunter has shared her top five tips for bagging the best deals in TK Maxx, including the section she always goes to first.
Madeline nabs a bargain from the store almost every time she goes, and opened up about her process in a video on TikTok.
“If there’s a good thing in this store I’m going to find it, and I’m going to teach you how,” she said.
“The first place I always go is shoes because, are you kidding me?
“Typically there’s only one pair per style.”
Holding up a pair of pastel Nikes, she said: “Here’s another perfect example.”
Secondly, she advised visiting the make-up department next.
“Since it’s eye level, everyone’s going to see that stuff first before you start digging in the clothes,” she said.
Next, Madeline explained the best time to go is a weekday morning – not only because they restock every weekday morning but also to “beat the crowd”.
“If you ever see the bins or carts out, do not be afraid to go up to them because you’re also going to find the stuff in there too,” Madeline said.
“Like, these need to immediately catch your attention, and run to them,” she added of a pile of bins she’d spotted in one of the aisles.
“For clothes it is harder because everyone is looking for different brands,” she said.
“I’m mostly looking for Free People, Zara and Urban Outfitters and those are typically really bright, colourful patterns.
“So that’s why I find it so easily.”
People in the comments section quickly weighed in, with many insisting they agreed with everything apart from her remark about the bins.
“Coming from an employee, please don’t try to dig or go through bins,” one wrote.
“It makes it awkward and I don’t want to fix bins, just wait.”
“Do not go through the bins cause we’re literally in the middle of putting it out,” another added.
“Don’t you dare touch the bins,” a third raged.
