Personally, we buy my husband’s dress shirts and ties, wedding gifts (I love their crystal pieces), tennis shoes, and bedding at TJ Maxx and Marshall’s. They gave me a $25 gift card for hosting this giveaway that I plan to use alongside some store credit I have from a return toward an area rug for my dining room.

Carrie – I love your site. I do tons of gift shopping at TJ Maxx and would do so again with a $25 gift card!
My 7 month-old son needs a winter jumpsuit and a winter hat. His head is way too big to fit into any of his baby hats! :)
I would use the giftcard to finish my Christmas shopping for my family.
I would use the giftcard to buy some new work clothes.
I would stretch it as far as I can to finish up some Christmas shopping. Still have
two kids to buy for and it looks (from some of the other entries) like ours isn’t the
only tight Christmas budget! Thanks for the web site, it’s really been a help lately!
I would buy a new pair of boots for my daughter’s birthday,
winter jacket & bibs for my little guy!
I’d love to get my son an extra pair of snowpants for school. That way he wouldn’t have to wear wet ones from playing in the snow the day before!

After doing laundry yesterday, it looks like my husband is going to need a bunch of new socks! I also like getting books and toys for my kids – certainly some good deals!
One more way – it would be great to pick up some books or toys for my classroom.
Give it to a family who has a single mom battling cancer and she can’t work,but has four kids. Our civic group is collecting donations(cash) and gift cards to give them.
would love to you the gift card to buy gifts for my kids teachers
We don’t currently shop at these stores so if I win, I’m looking for something I can buy to give – preferably winter clothes to donate. I love Pocket Your Dollars, I posted how much I loved paying $4.67 yesterday for two toothpastes and 6 boxes of chex cereal, and I tell absolutely everyone I can!
I’d buy Christmas presents for friends
They have the best selection of socks for teen boys so I’d get some socks too
Perhaps something for myself?!
I would use the gift card to help me finish up my Christmas shopping. I love the great deals you can get at TJ Maxx!

I want to win!! I could use a little more money to spend towards Xmas gifts
I would purchase a birthday gift for my mom.
I would use the TJ Maxx giftcard to buy winter clothing.
I would use the $25 to buy something for myself! I always seem to be buying stuff for my husband and the baby, but never myself….
Hi Carrie! I would love to win this gift card and would give it to one of our kids for Christmas. They have really turned into thrifty shoppers and even help me search and cut all of my coupons! This would be one of their gifts. Thankyou!!!
I’d love the gift card to buy myself a new pair of jeans. Been wearing the same ones for a little to long now.
I LOVE your site, im saving lots of money following your tips.
Selfishly, I would spend it on myself for a new top. I am have a two month old and it seems that all the new things either go to her or my husband who works outside the house. How I would love a new sweater for Christmas this year!
TJMaxx and Marshall’s are the two main stores I shop for gifts. I especially love the gormet foods section for putting together my own gift baskets.
With the gift card, I would love to get something new for myself (pair of pants or sweater). Thanks Carrie – keep up the great work!
I’d buy our Operation Christmas Child gifts.
LOVE your website, i would treat myself to some savings.

Carrie –
Love this site! I would use this gift card for my friend, Stacey! I have a family of six children and a wonderful husband – we went through a furlough this summer and budgeting was key for us. My friend Stacey and her husband were both laid off this summer and they have two small children! It’s so hard these days, and she used to shop at Marshalls ALL THE TIME! I’d love to pass this along to her, and am also sending this out on Facebook! Thanks for this site! Whoo hoo!!! Happy Holidays!
I love your website, your work, and your sharing. I shop frequently at TJMaxx and would love to do that “free.” Thanks for your diligence…keep it up.
I was very happy to find your site Pocket Your Dollars. I saw it on TV
I would be a christmas gift with the gift certificate.
My husband just got his hours cut at work and I’m a stay at home mom. We are going to have a baby in 10 weeks and with Chirstmas coming up things are tight. I could use the gift card for Christmas gifts for my family or items for the new baby.
Thank you!

Love your site, thanks for all your hard work!
I would use the gift card to buy some Vikings apparel for my boys or my husband I always find such great prices for team apparel there.
We come from a big, big family. Mom is always in the kitchen cooking. She wants a new pot. I would use this gift card to buy her a big, big pot.
I would use it towards a new winter jacket! The zipper broke on my current one. :-(
I love to buy anything from clothes to housewares, rugs, etc, from TJMaxx and Marshalls.
I love TJ Maxx and go there often with nothing special in mind. The fun is in finding that special something…so I’d use the certificate and be surprised!
