If you are looking for information about the January 2012 Sale in Richmond, go to this post
This post is from the October 2010 J. Crew Warehouse Sale in Richmond Virginia. I DON’T HAVE A CURRENT COUPON, I’m sorry!

You can also keep up with all the latest deals by registering to receive updates via email, RSS, Facebook, or Twitter.
If you love j.crew, make a beeline for the TJMaxx shopping center on W Broad St to check out the j.crew regional warehouse sale.

What to expect:
Crowds! The company running the sale had crowd control under control, but when I visited Saturday morning, there was a line waiting to enter because the facility was at capacity. There was even a bit of a wait to find a parking space in the parking lot.

When you enter, you are issued a huge plastic bag for carrying your purchases and a price list. The large space is filled with a pervasive rustling as everyone moves about dragging their bags filled with loot. Everything except for wedding dresses has a flat price – no price tags, so refer to the price list.
Selected price points:
Non-sweater tops $10
Shorts/skirts/pants/capris $20
Men’s chino’s $15
Cashmere sweaters $40
Other sweaters $20
Dresses (non-wedding) $25
Jewelry $10
Other accessories $8
Leather handbags $30
Non-leather handbags $20
Swimwear per piece $3
Jackets/coats $50
Shoes $30
Sandals/espadrilles $20
Leather/suede boots $50
Rubber flip flops $2
Red line items (I didn’t notice any) $5Children’s
Coats/blazers $15
Non-sweater tops $8
Sweaters $10
Shorts/skirts/pants/capris $10
Dresses $20
Shoes $10
Be prepared to rummage! The inventory is all in boxes on tables and on the floor. It is roughly divided into women’s, men’s, children’s, shoes, and accessories; but gets jumbled up. Several new boxes of stuff were brought out while I was browsing.
There are no mirrors, no dressing rooms, and no returns! Know your size, including waist measurement for pants, and check your purchases carefully for defects. Irregular garments are included, some with small holes or stains.
Selection: Abundant women’s items, especially pants and coats. I saw several pieces from the Madewell line which is also owned by JCrew. While a few larges were mixed in, most of the women’s sizes I saw were in the 2-8 range. Men had a good-sized section as well. The children’s pickings (Crewcut line) were slim.
Bargains: It’s not yard sale pricing, but a great savings on J.Crew regular prices. I didn’t find any shirts I wanted for $10 (I didn’t dig as long or determinedly as I might have). I did pick up a pair of flip-flops ($2), a floppy sunhat ($8), and my big score was three swimsuits for $3 apiece! A basic brown, a basic black, and a print. I am soooo excited
I think swimsuits are the real steal there, but I didn’t have much competition for them (possibly because of the lack of dressing rooms)
Location and hours:
Former Good Wood store
TJMaxx shopping center (9125 W Broad St)10am to 8pm now through October 17th
Thanks Lindsay for telling me about it!
Update: I have come into possession of the mythical 30% off “Friends and Family” coupon, thanks to Phil for telling me of its existence, and big thanks to Art for forwarding it to me! If you’d like me to forward the email (with PDF coupon attachment), just send an email to richmondbargains at gmail dot com. (Note – this coupon is only valid for the regional warehouse sale. I don’t think it will work at a regular J.Crew)
Looks like a zoo! But can’t beat $3 for a bathing suit!
Thanks for the report! I’ll check it out during the week, hopefully it will be less crowded.
Any body has a 30% off coupon for this sale. I was there today and have some people with a 30% coupon
good luck on obtaining this coupon – I have asked around, emailed, and point blank asked a few people there where they obtained it and it was like some vague answer that it was their friend and they did not know – etc. Once you check out – there is a table where you can sign up for future sales, coupons, etc.
Oh and don’t believe the 1st day they open at 10am — they were in full swing by 8am.
Tiffany – Yeah it was pretty crazy! But no worse than your average consignment sale
Tracy – Good plan, like I said, they brought out new stuff while I was there so who knows how much inventory they have
Phil – Thanks for bringing it up, I hadn’t seen that. I forwarded you a copy of the coupon email that I obtained. You too Paula! (and the email mentions an early 8am opening on the first day of the sale)

Thanks!
can i also have a 30% coupon please?
Thanks again for sending me the coupon! I went first thing this morning and got a wool Harbor Pea Coat and four pairs of shoes for about $90 total, with the discount. It was empty when I got there but by the time I left at 11:00 it was really filling up. They said that they still had more stuff in the back, but no more coats. It was pretty disorganized and there were a lot of single shoes, or shoes that were mated with the wrong size of foot, but there is still some good stuff left! The crowd was very polite when I was there (very unlike the sale I went to at the actual warehouse in Lynchburg, where people grabbed things out of my hands).
Went today and WOW! I have to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK to the wonderful, kind stranger who heard my daughter talking about a wedding dress, and offered us the elusive 30% coupon. Love the kindness of strangers!
Can I get the coupon – we’re going back for more (I only had my lunch hour the first time) and would love to be able to score another 30% off. Thanks!!
I am looking forward to going. Someone told me about the coupon, but I can’t find it? Is there still a coupon available.

hi! does anyone know what time they open/close?? this is the last weekend… also– may i please get a coupon? THAANKS!!!!
Is it to late to get a 30% coupon
FYI, I was there this morning and the whole store is 30% off, so coupons are no longer needed to get the discount (and no, they will not stack the 30% coupon on top of the 30% in store discount).
This sale has been great! I wish I had gone earlier in the week when the selection was better, but I have gone a few times since Wednesday and have gotten a wool peacoat, a wool dress, a wool skirt, a pair of boots, 2 pairs of driving mocs, two pairs of ballet flats, and 7 pairs of sandals (yikes!), all for a little less than the original cost of the peacoat.
