I’ve often been curious about the markdown schedule. I told you my barstools were pretty cool!Įxcuse the dark photos - my kitchen isn't so peach IRLĥ) Know the markdown schedule. ![]() 2) If that item is more expensive at the other store, it’s worth a shot mentioning it to the manager. So two morals to my story: 1) If you find something you love at HomeGoods that needs a mate, is broken or was scooped up by someone else don’t be discouraged - just calmly drive yourself to the nearest TJ Maxx or Marshalls and check out what they have. The manager marked the stool down to the HomeGoods price and I was on my way home with my impossible to find stools and a big ol’ grin on my face! Once I found one she explained that some items come with little guidance and the store decides the price based on their other products. It was marked almost twice what the HomeGoods stools cost me! So off to find a manager I went. I excitedly ran over and scooped it up but had to stop for a second on my way to the register. I wasn’t looking for it, I never in a million years would have expected to find a third but once I reached their home section I saw the lonely teal stool waiting to come home with me. So I had two loaded up in the back of the car when I stopped at Marshalls. For every amazing deal I get there’s always an item I think they marked at $700 for a joke. Quick side note: I’ll be the first to admit that I have been shocked at some HomeGoods prices over the years. I told you, I loved them and they were so reasonably priced! I finally decided that two was going to have to do. They had two of the stools that I loved but no third. One day (probably about day 487 of the counter stool search) I happened to be in a different city and decided to check out HomeGoods. I needed three because two wouldn’t be enough and four would be too crowded. I would always find something I liked but there would never be three of them. I think I’ve lucked out to get all three in the same area but I often see at least one or the other near a HomeGoods.Ī few years ago I was on the hunt for counter height stools for my kitchen island. If your HomeGoods is anything like my local store, it’s wedged somewhere between a Marshalls and a TJ Maxx. You can barely see it! And since the table was in my price range because of that chip - I'll deal.Ĥ) Don't forget about TJ Maxx & Marshalls. Why was it marked down so much? It had a tiny chip on one of the corners. I bought this metal and glass console table for $49, marked down from $100. Other times, that nasty scratch can be turned to the wall. My point is, sometimes an item is easily salvageable with a little elbow grease. Especially with furniture my first thought is can I fix this? Ok, I’ll admit, it’s more likely can my boyfriend or dad fix this? But I have to do all the painting. ![]() ![]() Nothing is worse than finding an item you love only to find that it’s broken. The broken merchandise will always be my biggest gripe about HomeGoods. For majorly damaged goods, the manager may take up to 20% off. They’ll usually take 10% off with no hassle (although maybe not if the item is already on clearance). If the item you’re interested in is unfortunately broken, ripped, stained, scratched, etc make sure to ask a manager for a discount. Another key to scoring a discount is to make sure you always check for damage. One of the clearance sections at my local HomeGoodsģ) Look for damaged items. Make sure to always do a quick loop of the perimeter to make sure you’re not missing anything! If you’re looking to get a great deal look for the little red tags.Ĭlearance isles are usually marked clearly but sometimes the clearance section is tucked on end caps facing the walls of the store. ![]() Now that we know there’s always something new awaiting us, I’d be remiss if I didn’t remind you to always check out the clearance sections. However, don’t expect employees to know what’s coming on a truck beforehand.Ģ) Check for clearance items. She went on to tell me they receive deliveries up to five times a week! That means new merchandise is constantly being rolled out. I once asked a cashier if there was a specific day they receive new merchandise and she laughed. If you love the store as much as I do (or even on a normal, healthy, don’t plan doctor’s appointments around your ability to go to HomeGoods, level) you’ll appreciate these tips on how to score a good deal at HomeGoods.ġ) Know HomeGoods is always replenishing their shelves. I dream of the day when I get to go and the store isn’t packed. I’m sitting in a waiting room waiting for my doctor’s appointment and all I can think about is when I get out of here I’m going straight to one of my favorite places on earth: HomeGoods! Heck, I even bought TJ Maxx stock because I love the store so much.Īnd God knows I’m not alone in my love for HomeGoods.
