Marshalls Shopping Mistakes: 9 Useless Things to Avoid Buying

Cologne or Perfume

All the cologne and perfume sold at Marshalls and TJ Maxx SHOULD be sealed. And generally, there aren’t any sample bottles. With no way to sniff the scents available, you could accidentally buy something that smells disgusting.

So you might want to add this item to your “things to avoid buying at Marshalls” list. That’s not to say you shouldn’t be watching out for your favorite brands or fragrances.

We’re only saying that to avoid this Marshalls shopping mistake, you should be careful about picking out a new perfume or cologne.

Pro Tip: If you want to find a different scent, go to Sephora. They have a vast selection, and the fact that you can spray yourself with samples to your heart’s content has won us over!
