The 9 Stages Of Going To Homegoods, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls For Every Broke College Girl

In This Article:

Like most other ladies my age, I LOVE a good shopping trip. Do I want to redecorate my room or find some new stationery? Off to Homegoods, I go. Am I feeling like getting a new outfit (or twenty)? Off to check the racks of TJ Maxx and Marshalls. These stores have it all for way less than other stores. If you can't find it at Homegoods, TJ Maxx or Marshalls, it doesn't exist.

Here are the 9 stages every lady has experienced while shopping at Homegoods, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls:

Entering the store

You never really go to these stores with something in particular in mind. It's best (and maybe a little dangerous) to go in with an open mind. You never know what you'll find!

But you end up buying new chinaware, chairs and a table.

"Ooooh! Food!"

While Homegoods, TJ Maxx and Marshalls may not have sales, they do have a great clearance section!

I need a new planner!

You always seem to find a few extra purchases through the line. And who could forget the bags!

You pull out your TJX Rewards Credit Card and purchase all of your newfound treasures. While these stores may not have sales, the everyday prices are low, so your bill is not even close to what it'd be if you paid full price for anything.

Of course I needed a new notebook, felt letter board and throw pillow!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
