In a TikTok video with over 134,000 views, user Taylor Fort (@xotaytay126) let viewers in on her big secret.

“On the website, they have specifically the runway section,” she explained.

The runway section of the store offers discounted designer clothes and accessories.

In the clip, she demonstrated the kinds of deals shoppers can snag on the website.

“Theory for $70,” she said, pointing to the price tag on a Theory shirt.

Theory is a designer brand that typically costs hundreds of dollars.

The shopping tipster also pointed out that the website had Rag and Bone jeans on sale.

Though she admitted the runway section can also be found in stores, she argued it is oftentimes a “hit or miss.”

“If you want good designer things for a steal, check it out,” she concluded.

T.J. Maxx shoppers may also be protected from tariffs impacting the cost of their shopping sprees. According to CNN Business, the store’s business model may protect it from price hikes.

The brand purchases its merchandise from other stores that have already covered the fee to import them. Since the goods are already in the country at the time of purchase, it does not have to worry about additional tariffs.
