I would say that the clothing items at Marshalls would be slightly higher end than at Winners but there's really not that much of a difference. Marshalls had some things that Winners doesn't have such as shoes and more dressy clothing. The bedding and home items were likely higher end but I don't know much about those things.
I agree that the "Compare at" technique is effective with many people. I just don't like it because the company can just make up any price for it and try to make you think you are getting a great deal.
