TK Maxx worker reveals secret code which tells if you're really getting a bargain

A secret code tells TK Maxx customers if what they’re looking at is a real bargain, or something which was never in reality sold at the higher price.

A man who once worked at the superstore revealed you should look for the number ‘2’ on labels. Daniel Baker, who worked as a senior merchandiser for the cut-price retailer revealed the hack on TV show TK Maxx: How do they do it? Daniel is someone who knows all the tricks of the trade when shopping at the popular store - and advises anyone to check labels first reports the MEN.

In the show, TK Maxx former workers were interviewed to give their versions of what happened behind the closed doors of the hugely popular shop.
