HomeGoods Newbie - Any tips or advice?

[bigjimslade]

I have never been to a HomeGoods store before today. There was so many good things I saw and ended up buying over $300 worth of Kitchen and bath goods today. So for any regular shoppers out there is there any tips you have? Good time to go? Any discounts or coupons?

 

Thanks in advance

I find it to be very hit or miss. I have gone in there and found absolutely nothing and other times I could have bought half the store. IIRC they are owned by TJMaxx and Marshalls which is based here in Mass. They have great clearance prices on linens and post holiday items

they have a cc you get points with which count towards discount certificates(similar to BB but you have yo use CC) and I believe they have senior discount day midweek if you can drag a parent along. I find they have good everyday prices but usually find things cheaper elsewhere.

Yes, Home Goods is owned by the same company that owns TJ Maxx and Marshalls. One of our TJ Maxx stores is called TJ Maxx and More. It has the regular TJ Maxx with a smaller scale Home Goods included in the store. They never have sales or specials unless something is marked down through clearance. Sometimes clearance will be on an endcap or it could be an entire aisle. Once something has a yellow sticker, it is the final clearance price.

 

If you see something at Home Goods that you like, don't wait to buy it. Chances are it will be gone when you go back to get it. I have learned that the hard way. Just take it back if you decide you don't want it. Their return policy is 30 days for cash/cc refund. After 30 days, you may only get a gift card when you make a return.

 

I love Home Goods. The regular sized-store is about an hour away from me, so I don't get there often. It's most likely a good thing. I have a linen and dish addiction. :) What all did you buy? They have great prices on rugs! I love the lamps, pictures, and gift items too.

 

I have the TJ Maxx credit card, so I get points for spending in the store as well as other places. I get gift certificates in the mail with my credit card statement. I have had the credit card about 3 years, and I have only received ONE coupon around Labor Day this year. I think it was 10% off when I spent $100 or more. There is a senior day each week, so look into that to see if you can take someone along to buy the stuff, and then you can reimburse them. I believe that the Sr discount is 10%.

 

Ask the Home Goods employees what days the delivery trucks bring the new merchandise. It is great to shop on the days that the new stuff hits the floor before it gets picked over.

I've found some neat gifts there for my mom. She loved them.

 

I also picked up my dishes I use for Christmas there along with matching serving pieces. I had to buy each piece seperatly but it was the only place (that year anyway) that I could find a setting with the kind of Santa I wanted. I believe I have a service for 10 or 12 plus the serving pieces. All of it was around $200 if I remember correctly.
