WOMAN BUYS ICE BATH FROM TJ MAXX, GETS SO MUCH MORE THAN EXPECTED

TikTok creator Jes Gragg Hampton (@jesgragghampton) shared a viral video about an ice bath tub she purchased at her local store that was $50 and originally retailed for $80.

“Fifty bucks is still a pretty penny, so I’m just racking my brain, trying to figure out what’s wrong with this tub,” Hampton said in her video

She eventually noticed the capacity of the tub listed on the box was 18 gallons.

“I did like 40 trips [pouring water], and it was only halfway full,” Hampton said. “So, my conclusion is these are being sold at TJ Maxx because the 18-gallon capacity is supposed to be 81 gallons.”

And according to her video, 18-gallon label was on both the front and back of the box.

Commenters on Hampton’s video largely seemed familiar with TJ Maxx’s inventory strategy. “I work in fashion. There’s nothing wrong w Marshall’s or TJ Maxx stuff. Marmaxx buys stuff from us and we make the stuff (not as expensive to make as mainline stuff) but it’s all good quality stuff,” user Addie (@addie_boiii) said.
