There are hundreds of HomeGoods stores across the U.S. and Canada, so there is a good chance you’ll find one within driving distance no matter where you are.

Unfortunately, three states still don’t offer shoppers an opportunity to shop these home deals: Alaska, Hawaii, and Wyoming do not have HomeGoods stores yet.

HomeGoods sources items from thousands of vendors

The reason you’ll find so many incredible items across a range of vendors at HomeGoods is because the retailer sources items from a mind-boggling range of vendors.

HomeGoods reportedly pulls items from 16,000 different vendors.

Celebrity stylists help curate collections

Part of the reason the retailer’s collections are so chic is that HomeGoods works with celebrity stylists to curate just the right items. Mindy Weiss, Katie Lee, and Nate Berkus have all lent their well-trained eyes to HomeGoods.

Get a protection plan on all your appliances

Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.

Whether or not you’re a new homeowner, a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty could pick up the slack where insurance falls short and protect you against surprise expenses. If a covered system in your home breaks, you can call their hotline 24/7 to get it repaired.

You cannot shop online

You have to put in the work to get HomeGoods deals. The retailer announced in late 2023 that it would no longer sell items online.

Rather than ordering from the comfort of your couch, you will have to get in your car and drive to the closest location to see what is in stock.

HomeGoods has a ‘door to floor’ approach

If something comes through HomeGoods’ storeroom doors, it’s going on the floor almost immediately. There is no waiting for the right time to roll it out: HomeGoods wants to move items as quickly as possible.

The identity of vendors remains a mystery

Part of the HomeGoods allure is the privacy it affords to vendors. These relationships are kept quiet, so you might not realize your favorite home retailer is sending overflow inventory to HomeGoods at a discount.

Most of the inventory is current

While some people may assume that a store like HomeGoods only carries past-season merchandise at a discount, the retailer primarily carries current inventory.

Carol Meyrowitz — CEO of parent company TJX Companies — has said 85% of products on the shelves at HomeGoods and other TJX stores are from the current year.

HomeGoods deals come from excess inventory

You may have wondered how HomeGoods can sell stylish home items at jaw-dropping prices. The secret is buying excess inventory from other retailers.

When a brand or store has too much inventory, it sells the inventory at a discount to a company like HomeGoods. The customers reap the benefits.

HomeGoods doesn’t offer coupons

Because the day-to-day prices at HomeGoods represent such great deals, the retailer typically doesn’t offer additional coupons that you can use on top of the prices.
