I lurrve TK Max for 1. their underwear - I get my Gossard bras there and they are such top quality and great variety/colours at knockdown prices. I got a bra there for £9.99 and the exact same thing (same size, colour, make etc) was in Morleys for £22!

Sounds like you are not looking hard enough. I think the GF got some gossard bras for under a fiver recently. She was very happy

The only problem is that some of their stores are sooo untidy with clothes strewn everywhere and I've never seen a member of staff amongst the rails tidying up. They always seem to be by the changing rooms.

Our store is pretty good, even on a Saturday.

I think I need to visit your store. Is it in the South East?

I can never be bothered to look through all the clothes, but I love the household stuff - fantastic bargains

I shop in TKMaxx a lot and think it's great too.

One of the greatest revelations to me has been discovering that there is very little difference in actual quality for the big brand names that they sell compared to the normal high street ones.

I got a pair of Calvin Kline jeans which fell apart after a couple of washes and all of the designer under pants i've bought from them recently, like Ted Baker and FUBU, are already starting to develop holes.

But then I suspect that it does all get made in the same old sweat shops in the far east.

I have just realised that my life would be over if TKMaxx ever closed.

I sit here in my new airwalk trainers (£16.99) A Quicksilver t-shirt (£10) Levi loose fit jeans (with the nice stripy stonewash across the front)(£19.99) My Quicksilver bag (£15) and my Strellson Waterproof (£50, but these are normally £150)

Everything I have on came from TKMaxx, and I am not ashamed to admit it.

My favourite is finding something great in their double reduction clearance. Or when a colleague has an identical item and you say 'did you get that for £x' and they say 'no, it was a bit more than that......!'

Any other devotees?

Wow what a coincidence.I see a new store has been built in Crawley and now I have come across your post.Years ago we went to the one in Sutton and my impression was then that the clothes looked like they were secondhand.
I will take another look to see if anything has changed.Thanks all for the info
