The T.J.Maxx Clearance Event happens twice a year — typically in January and then again at the end of July/into early August. It’s among the best ways to save at TJMaxx (though certainly not the only) and the closest thing the retailer has to a “sale” since their merch is priced so low at the start. T.J.Maxx does a massive clearance sweep during these two events and it’s the best time to find top markdowns, with savings of up to 75% or more in stores and online. We expect the 2024 winter clearance to last for two weeks, like it did last year. However the summer sale tends to run a bit longer, around three weeks.
As of Jan. 5, you’ll see those precious yellow tags (that means big-time clearance) in-store at TJMaxx. Know that inventory moves quickly because merchandise is priced to sell. So if you want the good stuff, get there early.
During the winter event, the T.J.Maxx online clearance section has markdowns like $12 men’s Carhartt tees, $5 slippers, and $15 wine glass sets. You’ll also see a lot of leftover inventory from Halloween, Christmas, and Hanukkah marked way down. T.J.Maxx adds new markdowns throughout the events, but don’t wait to shop — these items will go fast, in store and online!

During the twice-yearly clearance sales at T.J.Maxx, you can shop either online or in stores. But if you’re shopping in store, don’t expect to see any percent-off signs posted on the racks advertising the sale. Instead, just look for the red and yellow clearance tags on merchandise throughout the store.
So what do the red and yellow price tags mean at T.J.Maxx? The red tags indicate a clearance price, while the yellow tags indicate a final clearance price — meaning that it’s the lowest price you’ll see for that item at T.J.Maxx.
