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.
