Marshall’s/TJ Maxx Giveaway!

by Rhoda on January 12, 2012

in giveaway

{Giveaway is Closed}

The winner is:  Kim H. #319

For many years, I have been a fan of shopping at TJ Maxx and Marshalls.  I’ve bought plenty of clothes, shoes, socks, sunglasses, and accessories.  Not to mention, all the home stuff that is in abundance in both stores.  You never know what you will find at any given time in TJ Maxx or Marshalls.  I just know I find bargains and get a lot of bang for my buck!

So, how far will $25 go?

Let me tell you how far.  When TJ Maxx and Marshalls contacted me about doing a giveaway with them, I was excited.  Sure, I shop there all the time, why not!

They offered me a $25 givecard and one to give away to ONE of you.  Doesn’t sound like a lot, does it and at first I was a little bummed that they didn’t offer more?  But really I love the stores so much, I agreed to do a little giveaway with them.

$25 at TJ Maxx and Marshalls will get you a GREAT payoff.

On my list of things to buy this month:  Undies

Is it just me, or do any of you let your underwear completely wear out before you throw it out?  Say it’s not just me, pleeeeease!

My underwear drawer is a sad, sad place.  Stretched out elastic, droopy drawers, fallin’ apart, ole’ worn out unmentionables.  So, my plan was to head to TJ Maxx and Marshalls (not kidding, that is where I usually buy my underwear, including bras!) and stocking up on a few pair of undies.  I already knew that most of them are priced at about $3 each, so you can really and truly buy a whole slew of panties for $25!

And I’m happy to say, I stocked up on 9 snazzy pair of undies!

Wanna see?  I normally wouldn’t show off new underwear, but for the sake of this blog story, I’m over sharing! Bear with me.

020

With brands  like Jones New York (who knew they made undies too?), Warners (my own personal fave brand for many years), Rene Rofe, Vanity Fair and many other brands, I’m all stocked up now.   Aren’t they pretty?!

025

Some are sold in pairs for $5.99, but most are priced at a frugal $3. And you know how I love a deal.  Now I can throw out the ugly stretched out, no-elastic, worn-out, miserable excuse for underwear that is currently sitting in the drawer and now I have these pretties.

You know, just in case I get in an accident (God forbid!), I won’t embarrass my mother.  :)

Just in time for the white sales, TJ Maxx/Marshalls is letting me give away to ONE of you a $25 giftcard too.

So, tell me.

What in the world are you going to buy with your $25 if you happen to be the fortunate winner?

Do you need new undies too? or do you have something else in mind?

Those duo stores have so much to offer from clothes, shoes, hair products, jewelry, purses, not to mention home stuff too.  You will have a ball spending your giftcard as much as I did!

TJ Maxx/Marshalls is such a good way to stretch your bucks to the max.  I’m excited about sharing this with you. Even though $25 doesn’t sound like a lot, it got me 9 NEW PAIR of of pretty undies and that makes me very happy!

Are you laughing yet, that I actually posted my new underwear on my blog?  I hope no men stop by today. 

{I was given a $25 giftcard from TJ Maxx/Marshalls to keep and one to give away to one of my readers.  Thanks TJ Maxx/Marshalls!  I’m a fan for life!}

You crack me up. lol I would take any gift card for any amount. I think I must have bought all my panties at the same time years ago, because, now I throw at least one pair a week out. It’s getting to be slim pickins’.
Take care and God Bless you Paula

My favorite pair of undies came from TJ Maxx several years ago. They are Calvin Klein, and I’ve looked and looked for more just like them, but to no avail…boo hoo. So, I would spend the gift card on new undies or a new coverlet for our bed. Thank you for the opportunity, Rhoda!

Reply

15 Jeanie January 12, 2012 at 6:26 pm

I have an abundance of undies, but do love some of the high-end handbags in the stores. A $25 gift card would make the price even more reasonable. I am always able to find a bargain in the housewares section, too.

16 Susan January 12, 2012 at 6:31 pm

You’re so funny! Don’t even get me started on underwear. I think most of us are in the same boat with our disgraceful unmentionables. Once again your blog, refreshing honesty and sense of humor have brightened my day … thanks for the smile!

38 Kim R January 12, 2012 at 8:31 pm

Those undies look great, but I got several pairs for Christmas, so I would buy some stretchy pants to wear to the gym. I usually change at my office before I leave work, and my current pair of pants have holes in the crotch. Does my sharing that make you feel better, Rhoda?

I love getting new undies! I don’t need any right now, so I would look for something else to spend my $25.00 on. I have been searching for a decorative tray for my console, so I would try to find one. If not, I can always find something. If I’ve got money to spend, I’ll find something to buy.

Oh my I would have a hard time deciding what to buy w a GC. Something for me? the kitchen? the kids? the bathroom…love those stores. Um, yeah, you’re not alone on the panty thing, hubby recently told me I needed new ones, now that’s embarassing. LOL

54 Mary Catherine January 12, 2012 at 9:58 pm

I would absolutely love to win! I’m about to move into my first apartment and the list of things that I want/need is huge. Plus, I’m in lurve with HomeGoods and I believe they’re part of the TJMaxx/Marshall’s family as well.

I just splurged on a brand new bed and I’d love to get some gorgeous sheets for it. Or I’m really looking for a large white vase to use for some decorative branches a friend gave me. I also love the throw pillows that my local TJ Maxx has right now but I definitely can’t justify buying them instead of other necessities. Also, oven mitts, hand towels, lamps, cute kitchen stuff. I think I could probably spend way more than $25 but TJ Maxx has such good deals that I know I could get a lot of good stuff.

55 Tardevil January 12, 2012 at 9:59 pm

I’ve got to say, this post did make me laugh. That takes some nerve to post your new drawers for the entire world to see. lol! They are my favorite stores, second to Home Goods. The rinky-dink town I live in is finally getting a Home Goods, PTL!

Hi Rhoda, Happy New Year!
I’d have to say that I’d buy a nice new comfy pair of pj’s. I have a tendency to wear them out until they’re ratty.

Thanks for the giveaway!
