I have never really bothered with it, but as a bit of a bargain hunter I feel I may be missing out?!

Do you like it? What's the best thing you have ever found in there?

Hunter wellies really cheap a few years ago. And glossy black ones, not an odd colour.

Cosmetics and skincare.

Ralph Lauren clothing.

Le Creuset kitchenware

Love TK maxx but I always think it's at its best midweek early morning when it's quiet . That way it's more organised . I got a dkny coat there this year which I have had loads of compliments on . Also had the black glossy hunter wellies and lots of bed linen and home stuff . Used to be able to get Neom candles as well haven't seen them in a long time . Baby stuff is always worth a look .

My favourite bargains were a Manduka posh yoga mat (RRP £90) which I got for £20. I use it every day and every time i unroll it it makes me smile. Also lovely Le Creuset teapot, griddle pan and ramekins. Fab colours and for less than £20.

I always check out the cosmetics and toiletries. Recent wins: Ren, Eve Lom, Chanel, Lipstick Queen, Stila, Anatomicals, Aveeno, Molton Brown. Sometimes strike gold on clothes and accessories too, and I have tiny feet so the shoes are always worth a look. Finally, the scented candles. I adore scented candles.

I love the website. I'm not a huge fan of the actual store though.

Good for kitchen, homeware and beauty stuff. I found a king size Orla Keily duvet set once they'd mispriced for £9.99! Not my style so I sold it on eBay for £50.

It's takes a while to find things but there are some good bargains to be had.

Yay.

I can't remember the last time I bought any clothes in there but there are certain things that I always check TK Maxx for - kitchenware (especially Sistema lunchboxes -cheaper than anywhere else), soap (nice, big bars) and kids books.

I bought my handbag there too - a big, leather satchel-style thing. I don't recognise the brand but it was a good price for a large leather bag and has lasted me well.
They're good for shoes too. I got some Birkenstocks last summer for £25.

They do have a loads of tat to sort through but it's possible to get some great bargains, if you know what to look for.

It is hit or miss

That’s the whole point though, isn’t it?

You might get the dopamine hit. You might not. If it was guaranteed it wouldn’t be as fun. Grin

I love it, especially when I need a particular item, but I'm under no illusions that stuff is actually a bargain or cheaper than it might be elsewhere.

I prefer it to department stores because if I want size 16 jeans or a 17 in neck shirt for DH or some boots for dd, I can just go to the relevant section and see if there are any I like. Got a great hooded towel and grobag for ds back in the day, and cookware.

It's actually the only clothes shop in my two nearest shopping centres that isn't a low-quality place for teens, so I go there a lot. Yes, 90% of the clothes are a bit wierd, but I could say the same about a giant M&S which needs 3x the space for the same amount of clothes.

The chocolate and food round the checkouts isn't a bargain, but it's not a rip-off if there's something good.

I love it, store next door to my local Sainsbury's so I pop in regularly. Got loads of things from there, kitchen stuff, candles, food items, fab jumpers and last summer I got lovely linen tops. Hugh fan of TK Maxx.

I absolutely love it, especially since having children as the children's clothes books and toys tend to be great.

I can't understand the love for the website, I fine it totally overwhelming and difficult to sort. There's just far too much on there. I like seeing stuff in the shop itself.

I LOVE it. You find high end stuff at significant discount. It's like going to a charity shop you need to dig around but everything is new and it's there are some really nice things

Love it. Regularly get soaps, shampoos and household items in it. Less regularly have had fab bargains in toys, kids clothes and stuff for myself. Love my herschel raincoat that I got for £30 last year that was selling for 2/3 times that online!

Love the home stuff, occasionally clothes and the beauty items.

Actual clothes are a bit hit and miss but I bought sandals and NYDJ there.

I like it for trainers occasionally (order them online), bags, candles, cushions and blankets (it's great for gifts).
