T.J.Maxx Clearance Almost Over: The Yellow Tags We're Finding Are So Good

The T.J.Maxx Clearance Event happens twice a year — typically in January and then again at the end of June into early August. That means clearance is happening NOW but it's starting to wrap up. 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 events, with savings of up to 75% or more in stores and online. Important to note: the yellow tags are where it's at. A yellow tag means an item has reached its max discount.

Keep in mind T.J.Maxx does add new markdowns throughout the events, and prices continue to fall. However if you see something you absolutely love with a modest red tag (clearance but not a rock bottom price), grab it. Because it may not stick around for a reduced yellow tag.

What to Know Before You Shop T.J.Maxx Clearance

You only have five or so weeks to shop the clearance sale.

If there’s one thing to understand about this sale, it’s that the deals don’t last long. Clearance is on as of June 18, 2024, and will run through the end of July.

However, you only have roughly two weeks to shop the winter event. In Jan. 2024 we saw clearance from Jan. 1 - 16.

Find 75% off deals online or in stores — but don’t count on similar inventory.

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.
