i've worked for the tjx company for years, it got me through high school and now it's getting me through college.
they don't sell just irregulars {which are usually just a wrong color thread somewhere that you won't notice, or something like that}
they actually have a pretty strong buying power, i don't what it's comparable to in the UK but in the states they buy larger numbers of items than a store like marshall fields or macy's might, so they get the same stuff only cheaper. they also purchase the over run stuff, like if a brand makes more than gets ordered which is from the same lot as the expensive shit sold in the department stores.
i hate digging through the crap, but that's pretty much their merchandising philosophy - get as much out as possible and people will buy it. we have customers that come in every other day so they catch shit ... a little extreme, but from working there i've gotten coach bags for 80 dollars US, guccie, prada ... all the same quality as the department stores and shops.
it's pretty much what you'll deal with to save money.
