Sooo excited, in TK Maxx today and stumbled across a Reiss Phoebe jacket for £34 ... it fits me perfectly! Can't believe my luck! Just wanted to share with people who would understand! Grin

Shock Ours is just full of jumpers with sequins on them and puffa jackets.

What a bargain! It's so nice too. Well spotted.

Tryingtogetitright · 10/12/2017 10:29

Wow! They do seem to have some great bargains in at the moment! I love it too - it's funny how it's a shop you either love or hate. I have to limit myself going in as I love it too much could easily spend all day and a fortune in there!

Oooh yes they did have a variety of metallic puffer jackets Enid... They did look nice and warm I'll say that for them Grin

Ours has become crap. I have been going in there for weeks looking for a pair of decent work shoes (I walk past it on my way to work) and is is just full of the same pairs of glittery trainers, and weird loafers.

I never see anything in TKMaax.
It's like a jumble sale to me.
I was so glad when I watched the revelatory Channel 4 programme on it. Confirmed my suspicions.
However OP you are proof that there are hidden gems there, occasionally.

I guarantee you could turn the Brighton store upside down and inside out and not find a decent bargain.

It's utter shit. Sad

I bought a LBD (little black dress) in there. It was ticketed as £484 and it had been reduced down and down and I paid £14.99 and I honestly feel like a million dollars when I where it.
I wore it to a posh do and a couple of women asked where I got my dress, it's quite plain but with an asymetrical sort of frill going across the bust line and down, but it's so well made and really heavy.

THAT'S MY LOCAL TKMAXX!!!!! 😱😱😱😱

I mean, well done OP.... 😳

SorrelForbes · 10/12/2017 14:30

That's my local TKMaxx too! So jealous but well done OP!

Cheesymonster · 10/12/2017 14:58

Well done op.

My biggest find was Fendi sunglasses for £40.

My local TK maxx is so crap lately. I love bags and used to always find great ones but there's rarely any leather ones anymore.

Donkey cream is made with donkey milk. Not donkeys.

Haffiana · 10/12/2017 15:14

Hmm. The donkey oil I used to know was a milk oil. It is unclear whether the stuff used in the Korean skin products is a milk oil or rendered donkey fat. Google shows the allegations, but absolutely no proof, - including the PETA allegations.

Aeroflotgirl · 10/12/2017 17:02

Wow well done, I love a bargain like that Smile

roastchestnuts · 10/12/2017 17:04

Enjoy OP!! Lovely jacket! X

EnidButton · 10/12/2017 17:51

Grin Trying The metallic ones remind me too much of Bianca off Eastenders. They do look very warm though.

Tryingtogetitright · 10/12/2017 18:19

Your dress sounds amazing Rousette!

It's the jumble sale aspect I like Elouise - you never know what you might find!

It's not my local one Dick and Sorrel but is v close to my in-laws so when we visit I like to pop in! I really like it. Heard a rumour M&S are going in that retail park but not sure if it's a rumour based on fact or wishful thinking!

Oh just sod off.

bigredboat · 10/12/2017 18:43

Tryingtogetitright it's going to be an m&s simply food. Amazed at your bargain I never think to go to that one! I got some eve lom, rodial and make up forever bargains from the one in town but the sheer amount of clothes puts me off trawling through.

Roussette · 10/12/2017 21:54

Trying yes I love it! Your jacket looks great!

I'm a real TKMaxxer, the staff know me in my nearest one! I do think you have to spend hours looking to get the bargains and go regularly. Got my DH a hugely reduced jacket too, italian etc.

Tryingtogetitright · 10/12/2017 21:54

Great, thanks BigRedBoat. M&S food will be handy there for a post-shop snack!

I hardly ever make it into Commercial Road which is a shame I'd love to lose an afternoon in that TK Maxx, it's massive. I never really look at the rails - agree too overwhelming! I usually just look through the clearance bits at clothes. Then the toys, home, shoes, bags..... Love it!
