TK Maxx shopper reveals what numbers to look for to get best bargains

You can’t beat a bargain and this TikTok user has shared a hack to make it even easier when scouting for a deal. These savvy tips using secret codes “might change the game” of shopping.

Alex Pavlova shared this TK Maxx trick on her account ‘beautyforeverybody’, which has since gained over 2 million views.

The TikTok user shared with her 36.5k followers the three codes you need to keep an eye out for when shopping in the fashion retail giant.

The three numbers you need to keep an eye out for on your favourite products are 1, 3 and 7. Alex explains if you see the number 1 printed at the top of the price label, it means the item had been produced specifically for TK Maxx.

If you see the number 2 typically on the second line from top - Alex reckoned it's genuine unsold stock from popular brands.

Lastly, Alex explained the number 7 indicates that the product had been packed away from a previous year.

Alex advised her followers to scout the best deals ''always shop for 2' and 7.”

Many viewers found the advice extremely helpful with one person saying “girlll this might change the game” while another commented “I’ve been working there 3 years and I didn’t know this.”

Alex’s tip was also proven true when a former TK Maxx employee revealed the secret codes shoppers should keep an eye out for to bag a real bargain.

Former senior merchandiser Daniel Baker shared all his tips and tricks in a Channel 5 documentary last year called ‘TK Maxx: How do they do it?’ that uncovers what actually goes on behind the store doors.
