A shopping expert previously revealed four tricks TK Maxx uses to make you spend more and how to avoid them.
Shopping expert Tom Church, co-founder of Latestdeals.co.uk, revealed that TK Maxx uses a series of tricks aimed at getting you to part with your hard-earned cash.
Shoes in the back of the store
Tom states that the retailer knows that it is one of the favorite stores when buying shoes.
That’s why they put them at the back of the stores, because they hope you’ll see other products along the way.
Tom said: “It’s similar to how supermarkets put eggs and bread in the back of the store.”
Aisles near cash registers
TK Maxx is known for placing products while you queue to pay for your purchases.
Tom claims this is to try and convince you to spend more and potentially buy more products that you didn’t buy.
Tom said: “On the way to the checkout, you walk down a small zigzag aisle full of cheap items.
“They tend to cost less than £5 and are usually consumables like sweets, chocolates and coffee.
“There will also be little beauty items, sodas, hand gels. ‘Oo, I got that’ is exactly what they’re looking for.”
How is TK Maxx Flog Designer cheap?
- TK Maxx follows an off-price business model to source cheap designer products
- It purchases merchandise from various brands and designers at a discount and then sells it to customers at lower prices than traditional retail stores.
- The selection at its outlets often includes overstocked items, last season’s styles, and canceled order products.
- The Gold Label is a premium collection of design and luxury products offered by TK Maxx.

Etiquette tricks
TK Maxx also has “secret” symbols on its labels and often places yellow and red stickers on products when further reducing items.
Each label also has a numeric code.
If there is a “1,” it means the clothing was made specifically for the retailer.
These items can also be designer, so although you might think you’re getting a bargain, the product was made for TK Maxx and not other stores.
Tom said: “These are generally not good purchases and are a trick by TK Maxx to get you to spend more money.”
