IT'S possible to get a refund at your local TJ Maxx for those items you swore you'd return ages ago but seemed to have trashed the receipts for.
A former TJ Maxx employee by the name of Darcy Gerhart explained exactly how to do this.
According to Gerhart, if you have a return but don't have a receipt, as long as you have a tag, you can take that item back to TJ Maxx with your valid ID and get in-store credit.
And apparently, when you do the return they can't see how long ago you bought it, or which TJ Maxx you bought it at.
Gerhart explained that the reason you have to have a valid ID is because the retail chain keeps up with how many returns you do without a receipt.
"But to not be allowed to do any returns without a receipt anymore, you would have to do tons and tons and tons of returns without a receipt," she explained in a video.

"And I do them all the time and I'm still allowed to do it.
"So look for some items around your house that could possibly have a TJ Maxx tag, and then when you find it take it there, [and] get some in-store credit."
If you're looking to get great deals at TJ Maxx, a former employee that goes by Taylor shared some helpful insight.
Taylor stated that for a while she heard rumors that the best day of the week to shop at TJ Maxx was Wednesday, as markdowns usually happened the night before or in the morning prior to the store opening.

"I don't really know if that's true," Taylor said.
She recalled that during her time at TJ Maxx, markdowns happened once a week, but they weren't always on the same day every time.
"When I was working, markdowns happened when we were able to do it," she explained.
There are two definite times a year though that TJ Maxx tries to get rid of as much inventory as possible by constantly marking down final sale items.
The first round of sales happens in January when stores are trying to get rid of holiday inventory after the festivities.
A couple of months later in July, shoppers can find the same post-holiday discounts.
Taylor also advised buyers to take note of the ticket color on clearance items.

A red clearance sticker means the item will have its price marked down again. A yellow ticket, on the other hand, signifies the "final markdown ticket."
During heavy sale periods in January and July, Taylor explained that even the yellow-ticketed items got marked down, some items becoming cheaper every hour.
