Gotta agree with you there! I went shopping there quite a bit when I was a poor starving college student.
Most of the merchandise there is of at least decent quality, and you can get very good deals, especially with the automatic markdown. You just have to go in with an open mind about what you might want to buy and how much quality you're willing to sacrifice for a bargain. If you walk out empty handed, so be it.
I also like that anything that still doesn't sell after it's been on the floor for a certain amount of time, goes to charity.
