Answer 1

These days, items are purchased for TJMaxx, they aren’t just buying lots of old junk anymore. You may think you’re receiving an item that was once in Macy’s or wherever, but a deal was made prior. Check the quality on a lot of items, it may have a brand name but it isn’t the same in many cases.
