- Though it isn’t a dedicated athletic apparel store, T.J. Maxx often carries name-brand activewear (think sweatpants, hoodies, basic workout tees) at discount prices—cool if you’re mixing workout gear with casual wear.
- Because the inventory is “off-price” and rotates often, you may find good deals, but selection can be hit or miss if you’re looking for something very specific.
