Discount stores like Ross, T.J.Maxx, etc. are all about the thrill of the hunt.

But what if you don’t have time to hunt? Or you know exactly what you want?

Easy. Use this discount store shopping cheat sheet to get in and out of these stores with confidence that you’re getting the best deal possible on these six items.

 

1. Buy kitchen cookware and gadgets at T.J.Maxx/HomeGoods.

T.J.Maxx is the place to get high-end kitchen cookware for up to 50% less. I’m talking LeCreuset, All-Clad, Calphalon, KitchenAid, Cuisinart and more. Look:

2. Buy brand-name shoes at Ross.

If you stopped by Ross every week just to pick over the shoe rack, you’d never waste a trip. In fact, you may find a brand-name jackpot.
