When I shop for clothing, while not often as I’m a dude, it is ALWAYS at a discount store. Typically Ross or TJ Maxx as we don’t have a Marshalls in my town. I mean seriously, why would you pay full price for name brand clothing and shoes when you can the same stuff at a huge discount. 95% of the stuff is first run quality and the brands are pretty darn amazing.

In the past, I have talked about How To Score the Best Deal at TJ Maxx, Ross, and Marshall’s which was very well received so I figured why not back it up with an article about the actual brands you can find at Ross, Marshalls, and TJ Maxx.

While some brands are carried at all three stores, many you can only find at one of them.

So without further ado…here is what my research turned up.

Ross (Dress for Less)

Do you know the best day of the week to shop for deals on top brands at Ross? One word: WEDNESDAY!

A friendly Ross employee told me that they finish up their weekly clearance markdowns by Tuesday evenings making Wednesdays the best day to shop and get first dibs.

Here are the big brands that you can score a deal on at Ross.

• Adio (Shoes)
• Air Jordan

Marshalls

Marshalls is known for carrying some great brands at low prices.

Shop early in the week if you can, hopefully on a Monday, as that is when they typically do their restocks as well as their clearance markdowns on apparel and shoes.

By doing so, you’ll get first dibs on clothing that has just been reduced in price.

A few of the most popular brands you’ll find at Marshall’s include American Eagle, Hollister, Forever 21, and Kate Spade.

Here is the list of brands I have complied so far that can be found at your local Marshalls store.

• Adidas
• American Eagle Outfitters
• Banana Republic
• Billabong
• Baby Phat
• Coach
• Champion
• Converse
• Ed Hardy
• Express
• Forever 21
• Free People
• Guess
• Gunit
• Hollister
• Kate Spade
• Kenneth Cole
• Jones of NY
