7 Shopping Hacks You Need To Know If You’re Legit Obsessed With HomeSense & Winners

It's shop o'clock somewhere! 🛍️
Staff Writer

For your next add-to-cart kind of day, we gathered up the best Winners and HomeSense Canada secrets that everyone needs to know.

It is hard not to love these home decor and clothing stores, as they have a continually changing selection of epic finds. Plus, your wallet will thank you as everything is 20% to 60% below full price.

Before you shop in-store, take note of these shopping secrets to help find the best deals.

Lookout For Coloured Price Tags

Details: To find the best deals, look out for the coloured tags. If you see a bright red sticker, it means the price has been reduced.

You Can Return Items Without A Receipt

Details: With a receipt, you have up to 10 days or 30 days if you are a TJX Canada STYLE+ member to return an item. But if you don't have a receipt, the store will offer a refund on a gift card.

Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for A Discount

Details: If you find an item you love but is missing a button or has a tiny tear you don't mind fixing, you can ask for a discount. Often the store clerk can give you a slight price reduction unless the product is already marked down.

Browse The Gift Wrap & Stationery

Details: You can stock up on cheap notebooks and gift wrap. One not-to-miss item is birthday cards, which are usually $2-3 each.

You Get Extra Perks With TJX Canada STYLE+

Details: If you sign up for TJX Canada STYLE+, you can enjoy 30-day returns, bring more items into the changing room, and participate in members-only contests.

Learn When They Get New Inventory

Details: Do you want to be the first to browse the latest products before they sell out? You can ask an employee which day of the week new inventory arrives.

Visit Multiple Stores

Details: No two stores have the same merchandise selection. So if you are hunting for something specific, you should visit multiple HomeSense, Winners or Marshalls locations.
