POWER OF ATTORNEY
For Forms 3, 4 and 5


	I hereby constitute and appoint each of Ann McCauley, Scott Goldenberg and Mary
B. Reynolds, acting singly, with full power of substitution to each, my true and
lawful attorney-in-fact to:

1. prepare, execute and file with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority for and on my behalf
Forms 3, 4 and 5 pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder with respect to securities of The TJX
Companies, Inc. (the "Company") and any amendments thereto; and

2. prepare, execute and file such other documents and take such other action
that I could take and which, in the opinion of the attorney-in-fact so acting,
may be necessary or desirable in connection with the foregoing.

I acknowledge that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on my behalf
pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall contain such
terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
attorney-in-fact's discretion but that I remain responsible for the content of
such forms.  I further acknowledge that neither the foregoing attorneys-in-fact
in serving in such capacity at my request nor the Company is assuming any
responsibilities for my compliance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and shall have no liability for any action taken or
failed to be taken pursuant to this Power of Attorney or with respect to such
compliance.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until I am no
longer required
 to file Forms 3, 4 and 5 with respect to securities of the Company, unless
earlier revoked by me in a signed writing delivered to the foregoing
attorneys-in-fact.  This Power of Attorney may be filed with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission as a confirming statement of authority
granted herein.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have caused this Power of Attorney to be executed as of
this
