Anyone who has visited Marshalls is immediately enamored with the vast selection of clothing, shoes, home decor, accessories, and other items. With all of this and prices that are jaw-droppingly low, it’s difficult not to spend hours in the store. Marshalls might be a little daunting at times because of the great prices and huge range of items to look through, which is why we’ve put up a list of shopping tips that any Marshalls fan should know!
Marshalls can get busy, so first up on shopping tips is when to go: Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings are your best bet. In the mornings, the store is the cleanest, most organized, and well-stocked, so go there after getting your start of the day coffee! The ultimate best time to go is Friday mornings when the store stocks its shelves to the brim for the weekend business; we also suggest avoiding Monday mornings as that is when Marshalls is still recovering from these weekend crowds.
Now that the dressing rooms are finally available again, the next piece of shopping tips is to make sure you take advantage of them! Marshalls has a simple return policy if you do not love an item after trying it on at home, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have some fun and put on a fashion show in the dressing room! The best part is the pegs in each room that have labels that say “Definitely,” “Possibly,” and “Tomorrow.” This is a fun way to sort through your clothing items and organize them before heading over to the registers!
Next up on shopping tips you need to know: Take a good look in the beauty section. I myself can admit that in that past I was hesitant to even bother looking through the aisles of makeup and soaps, but oh boy was I wrong! It can be easy to think that because these products are being sold for a fraction of the retail price, that they are lacking quality. And I would have agreed in the past until I decided to give the beauty aisle a chance and found my favorite Redken purple shampoo for half the regular price! Upon further investigation, I found various other well-known and high-quality brands such as Anastasia, bareMinerals, and Philosophy. Next time you are at Marshalls, be sure to give the beauty section a chance; I am sure it will not disappoint. Of course, be sure to check for breakage in any beauty product before purchasing to be sure no one has meddled with it!
Number four on shopping tips today: Do not be afraid of the mannequins. The current trends and popular brands are frequently displayed on the racks in front of each department of the store or hung on the walls. That way, you can save some time digging through the hangers and instead take a look at the latest and greatest merchandise by seeing what is on display! This goes for other products in the store as well; whatever is most popular will be upfront for you to see!
The last thing you would think to buy at Marshalls is the strange-looking snacks that you see while checking out, but we actually encourage you to try them out! There is a multitude of options available, including vegan options, gluten-free treats, healthy alternatives, and even unique snacks and sweets from around the world. Get anything from gourmet popcorn to European candies as a fun gift to give a friend, or if you are just in the mood to try something new! Just as an extra addition to our shopping tips, check out the broad array of interesting teas and coffees to try out!
While shopping at Marshalls, it is always important to pay close attention to the colors of the tags on the clothing as they all mean different things! Don’t worry, we have broken down the key for you! White tags indicate the regular price; purple tags are from the runway collection; red tags are a clearance price; blue tags indicate the item has a matching piece, and yellow tags mark a final clearance price. So, keep your eyes peeled so that you can get an even better deal than when the item first landed in the store!
Shopping for special occasions may be costly, especially during the holiday season. Anytime you have a birthday or a holiday you need to buy gifts for, we advise you to head over to Marshalls. The wide variety of options make it easy to find gifts for people of all ages with all sorts of different interests; the best part is that you won’t be emptying your wallet and you can get all your special occasion shopping done!
This could be one of our lesser-known shopping tips: When an item has been on the shelf for more than a month, it is eligible for a discount! Once you see an item that strikes your fancy, ask a staff member to scan the tag with a price scanner to determine if it’s eligible for a markdown. If it is, you will be able to purchase discounted clothing at an even lower price!
Show an employee a chance to receive a 10 to 20% discount if you find an item that appears damaged in some way that you feel you can mend and it does not already have a sticker indicating a discount while shopping! Whether it’s a minor stain or a small hole, you have the opportunity to bring the already low price even lower!
