TK Maxx

I used to go to the US counterpart TJ Maxx all the time, and they’re pretty much the same kind of thing. I usually stick to the sales racks, as I can usually find something I like– whether its a dress for a ball or patterned trousers. Some of their higher end pieces can be very pricy so I tend to avoid those.
The line can be super long at this location so I usually keep browsing around the store until it calms down. I always like looking through the little chocolates and candles and other miscellaneous things on the racks that make up the line to pass the waiting time.

Love this place. Always seem to find something be it clothes, shoes, make-​up or fancy shower gels/​soaps when I go in. Some People say the shop is very higgeldy piggledy but that’s what I love about it… it feels like a market of goodies. And it is great for buying presents for all the family and friends.
The staff are always very friendly and helpful which is a bonus. The one thing to say is that you do need to have a bit of time to rummage through all the rails and shelves but it can be well worth it.

I had a wee look in this shop. It’s a very small Tkmaxx shop. Better kitchen stuff needed for chefs;) over all, I thought it was a lovely wee store. Clothes looked nice in here too:)

Große Filiale des Retailers in der Stephan’s Green Shopping Mall, die im ersten Stick etwas versteckt liegt.
Das Sortiment ist umfangreich und umfasst Damen– und Herrenmode, sowie Kinder und Home.
Als ich im Geschäft war, war dieses Recht gut aufgeräumt und es lag wenig herum.
Preislich schien es aber etwas teurer zu sein, als ich es aus Deutschland kannte, jedenfalls wirkte das bei einigen Produkte so.

I mean, it does what it says on the tin, right?
Best place in town for leather I reckon — leather bags, purses, shoes, a lot that are actually really good quality, but surprisingly cheap. I’d say it’s also a good place if you’re looking for sports clothes, or branded more expensive items, rather than fashion-​y wardrobe add-​ons.
BUT it’s only gonna be of any use to you if you’re a fan of rooting through loads of rails of s#$*e, prepared for serious elbows in the ribs, tripping over buggies, and you get off on the feeling of being generally harassed while you’re shopping.
It may be worth it, but be warned, you shall work for your haul!

Lots of different stuffs in there. From bags to clothes, home to food. You can get to everything at once. Not my type of clothing though.

Retail travel therapy at TK MAXX
Yes you read it right TK NOT TJ MAXX! That’s right folks the discount retail store seems to have jumped the pond and is now over in Europe well at least Ireland!
I’m not 100% certain that they are owned and operated by the same company but the all the branding was identical except for the one letter in the name! So driving around I just had to stop and see if it was the same! I park and walk in and much to my surprise it felt like home! Except everyone around me had accents or was it that I had an accent and they sounded normal?
Sooo I perused the different departments… shoes, handbags, clothes and house wares. They did have a few things that were different but for the most part it was EXACTLY THE SAME as back home!
I course did not buy a lot because how the heck do you think I was going to get it home? And mailing things from overseas home is NOT cheap! Then there is trying to find a post office to even mail what you want, oh and a box, tape etc. You get my drift! Just NOT very convenient!
My friend and I did buy a couple of jackets because the weather kept changing on us. For the most part it was sunny but we would get a chill in the air. So it was pretty cool to buy an actual winter jacket on sale since it was spring when we were there! We got pretty good deals on the jackets and then I gave mine to my friend that lives in a colder climate than it ever get here in California once we were leaving and going back home.
The prices seems comparable to the TJ MAXX at home and I really different see any difference! Doing all my conversions in my head left me hungry and after we got our purchases we left to find FOOD!
I think it is a good place to get things if you are traveling in Ireland. Not so much souvenirs but since the weather might change while you’re traveling you could always shop here for a few things like a jacket or sweater!

Was looking for some work boots/​shoes and nothing. Went to Blanchardstown TK Maxx and found double selection of shoes.
It’s nice to waste time in hear, if you have some to spend, but otherwise wouldn’t come here, unless you know what excactly you are looking for.

TK Maxx is on the second floor of the St Stephens Shopping center. It is ALWAYS crowded and its speciality is discounted name brand (and generics I think). I have always found it quite hectic, especially around the holidays. I am usually coming in with a buggy and just entering and leaving the store takes effort with all the hoards of people constantly flowing in and out.
I bought a jacket here in the past and they do have rows and rows of jackets to choose from. I tried to find kids clothes earlier and was looking at polo shirts as well, however when I went everything felt really picked over. As in, not alot left that I really liked. It could be that this is just how it is due to large crowds, or as another reviewer pointed out, maybe the things that are allocated to TK Maxx are the items which didn’t sell on clearance at other stores. Not too sure on that.
They do have a decent housewares section on the right hand side of the store. It is also really crowded, but worth a browse.
Overall, TK Maxx is okay. Try to visit during a less crowded time if you can.

Went to today Tk max for shopping but I seen big brand but cheaper than another shop I wondering how its possible or it’s real or fake but I didn’t find the difference; after all bought few T-​shirt & a chino. Feel happy for good things with economic price.

TK Maxx is mostly a place I go to buy gifts for people. I honestly don’t give a crap about labels myself, but I’m aware that other people do. Aside from the label stuff, there’s a nice selection of kids clothes, handbags, shoes and other gifty items. It gets crazy busy at Christmas time and has a bit of a giant warehousey feel. I personally get annoyed at rummaging, but if you love a rummage then this is the place for you!

If you know what you want then this place is brilliant.
If you have no real agenda and are just being dragged around by the scruff by your wife then it can be a total nightmare! also, it gets very full and VERY warm.
Here’s my tip… go early… like make it the first port of call on a days shopping, get it over with and move on to the less crowded places!
…this is of couse the opinion of a short, fat & balding 38yr old man, a 16yr old girl probably thinks it is heaven on earth at any time of day.

If I was forced to pick one store, and only one store that I was allowed to shop at for the rest of my life, I would absolutely pick TK Maxx. It’s absolutely amazing. Sifting through racks and racks of clothes can occasionally leave you with you a pounding headache and empty handed, but other times you can be left with a real gem.
My favorite sections to shop are kitchenware, throws and cushions, anything for the bathroom, candles, lotions and potions and shoes, shoes, shoes. Everything is affordable and for the most part what you’ll find on the shelves are designer brands. What kills me every time are the shelves alongside the till, catching your eye and forcing you to make those impulsive last minute purchases.
My steals and deals of this week; Jamie Oliver stoneware baking dishes pumpkin spice candles.
Fun fact of the day straight from Martha Stewart: (this applies for jarred candles) When burning a candle for the first time, make sure that you burn the candle its entire circumference. When you do this, each time you burn your candle, as it burns down it will burn the entire width of the candle. If you don’t allow the candle to burn the entire circumference the first time you’re burning your candle and only burn half, your candle will only burn down and will never burn out in terms of width. Hope that makes sense!

I love TK Maxx. They have them in America and call them TJ Maxx, not sure why the discrepancy but it is the same place. They have all of last seasons stock of pretty much everything from clothes to homewares and sell it at less than half the price it was selling for when it was in the high street shops. I buy everything for my kitchen here as they have a good selection and the prices cannot be beat.

My Ratings:
Quantity: 4 — Great
Quality: 4 — Great
Price: 4 — Affordable
Location: 4 — Nice
Service: 4 — Good
Speed: 4 — Good
Overall: Great Selection, Great Price!
My Opinion/​Story:
I like this store and enjoyed looking for items to buy. I especially like this spot because it’s inside a really nice mall. I found lots of items I want to get for really affordable price but I can’t get them all. I did manage to get some designer bags for my family. I like shopping here.

I am a HUGE fan of TK Maxx.
I know it can be crazy, the clothes rails go on and on and on! But I normally skip the clothes and browse everything that’s on a shelf. It’s soooo much easier.
My favourite products to browse:
Shoes
Hair products (Tigi especially)
Kitchen ware
Towels & linen
So my advice would be to stick to the shelves.
The staff are really helpful and very polite. Good training and it shows.

Every day’s a crapshoot in TK Maxx. If you’re feelin’ lucky, go in and browse the sections. You’ll always find some kind of bargain.
My favourite sections are hair products (expensive TiGi stuff at half off) and ktichen gadgets (some stuff I never knew existed: a shakeable herb chopper — or something like that — thanks, Jamie Oliver!). They often have stuff from Le Creuset marked down, which is great. The clothing section is just too messy and too often damaged from customer mishandling — see Mary C’s review — so I rarely venture in. There are good deals to be had on games, gadgets, beauty products, accessories, picture frames, coats… well, everything, if you’ve got the patience. I like to look at the «exotic» food products, too — sauces, oils, marinated peppers, handcrafted biscuits, you get the picture — but rarely spring for those.
There are clearance sections in a few places, in which they stick the stuff that’s too badly damaged to sell in good conscience for full reduced price. Missing lids, ¾ sets of dishes, dented sides, shattered pieces, nearly-​empty lotions… I even saw a Sabatier knives-​and-​block set reduced to € 50 which had the knife block in the box, but was missing all the knives.
It can get really chaotic in there, so gird your loins and get ready for a tussle with the intrepid many. I like the deals, but just wish the customers were kinder to each other and especially to the products.
Also be warned that TK Maxx sits in some kind of mobile reception vortex and you won’t be able to phone your friends from inside with deals or questions.

You know a fad is over when it’s discounted at TK Maxx… but that *can* be a good thing.
I’m here at least once a month to trawl the bedding area for a hidden 1k threadcount set marked down. This time around I had a paw over the jeans rack and found a pair of trousers that gave me a shiver of delight.
Ed Hardy Ladies — marked down. Ah, at last — see ya, Christian Audigier!
Other than that minor victory, I’ve always loved the racks and stacks in TK Maxx –it brings me back to younger bargain hunting days while carrying an excellent selection of name brands that are more hit than miss.
Now if only they carried better shoes for women with size 7 feet…

TK Maxx, which is the European version of TJ Maxx (the letter difference gave me a bit of a chuckle. Why’d they do that!?) and it is even better than at home. That is because this TK Maxx is not only stuffed to the gills with cheap-​as-​dirt clothes, they also have a fantastic array of designer duds from the likes of Chloe, Alexander McQueen and Calvin Klein.
The one major problem with places like these is the way the clothes are treated. Everything is jammed this way and that, lots of stuff has holes in it because of the mistreatment, and plenty of apparel is slung on top of racks or strewn about the floor. And the worst thing is how you become a part of the problem as soon as you start rummaging. There was a dress lying on the floor and I actually kicked it out of the way! I had no idea what came over me, and I quickly looked around to see if anyone saw me. Not that anyone would care, they were all too busy rummaging and kicking shit out of their own ways. :o (
But I digress. They also have a shoe section that is decent but nothing spectacular. There are probably some diamonds in the rough, but I find that it’s easier to jazz up a cheap top or skirt than it is to do so to cheap and ugly shoes.
The house wares section is awesome though! They have some really nice pots and pans for rock bottom prices as well as home décor items, tools, toys and more.

I love TK Maxx, you can get some amazing clothes for a pittance. Equally, you can wind up with some genuinely criminal stuff. But if that happens it really is your own fault, because there’s no staff members pressuring you for a sell. Or even giving you a hand for that matter.
My only real gripe is with the shoe section. Although there is a wide selection of ridiculously colorful footwear, nothing, and I mean nothing, seems to fit me.
Not cool, not cool at all.

TK Maxx is great for its home ware section as the stuff is cheap yet of good quality with some designer finds. It is also really good for children and baby ware as the section is small and well organised. If you are into designer bags, belts and shoes it is good too. But if you are looking for anything else then good luck to you cause as Laura says you really need to have the time and patience to rummage too all their stock and I can sometimes find the racks too full and messy even if they in theory are organised well.
However, what it is fab for is unknown, specialist designer ware labels like Chili Pepper, Mudd, Nikita, Columbus and Diesel. If you can search these out you will leave very happy indeed!
