99 Cents Only Stores

Love 99c stores
They have a huge selection or miscellaneous stuff, from toys to snacks to kitchen stuff, glass cups, you name it and yes it is at 99c each item. We like to come here and get snacks for when we go on the road. It does has nice stuff and affordable and you never know what will you find

When I am on this side of town I make it a point to drop in to this location. I always find things that I never find at the location near my house. It is always clean, aisles stay stocked and organized and fresh produce. It doesn’t look as if the bananas and/​or grapes had been rolling on the ground somewhere all BRUISED and MUSHED!
At this location I get a lot of my snacks here:
— toll house pita chip
— nature valley bars
— trail mix (I can’t remember the name BUT this same product is sold at Smith’s for $ 5.79 a bag)
— crystal light single drink mix
— kind bars
As for the lines, unfortunately as noted in other reviews for this store IT’S TRUE. 25ppl in line and only 2 registers opened, and it is always a customer with basket full of items and they want to sit and dispute the price. Hence therefore, I go in expecting to wait in a 10+ minute line to but deeply discounted items. You can’t be mad, we are at the 99 cent store.

the security guard is extremely rude, said my 18 year old ad to be accompanied by an adult to shop in store. then when I did not buy anything he asked if I had stole something. I have never had this experience at an other 99 cents store in the valley, actually he seemed to have a issue with my biracial family (i am biracial kids very light and the guard was black), well to be fair not sure what his issue was with us we were happy having nice day smiling as we headed to store, i only know he stared rudely the minute we approached the door, and things were down hill from there.

This store is huge compared to other stores. It’s also clean and well organized. It has a variety of generic items to name brand items. Don’t buy the generic items because it doesn’t taste like the name brand (I bought the generic teddy cookies and it was horrible!). The only thing I suggest is that they have more carts to use because I had to use a basket and it was heavy to carry around.

Rarely do I leave not finding deals on items I could really use. Clean store and staff is friendly.

Massive lines, only three registers open. Why have 7 – 8 lanes for check out if you’re not going to use them?
I went to use the bathroom, there was a plunger in the corner. The plunger was so dried out it had cracks running through it. I would not be surprised if this is some sort of health code violation. Why not use one of the ones you sell?

While the store is big, bright, and clean, it just can’t compare to my beloved Dollar Tree. I suppose 99 Cent stores excel in the availability of canned goods, so if you’re into off brands, this is the place for you. I’m not.
I didn’t go out of my way to get here, but dashed in while on an errand in this shopping center because I needed to buy a sympathy card. I knew my choices would be far greater at Dollar Tree, but wasn’t about to shlep further, when I knew 99 Cent sold cards (at twice the price). Wrong, wrong, wrong! They had Valentine cards. They had birthday cards. And that was is. No wedding, shower, new baby, happy retirement, Nuttin’ honey.
They also don’t carry sugarless sucking candy, which I get at The Other Place, so necessary because of my oral fixation. Otherwise I’d be on a perpetual sugar high. Sure left a sour taste in my mouth.
Just remembered while writing this that a Dollar Tree opened just a bit further, on Rainbow off Lake Mead. Duh.

I almost don’t want to do this review because I am afraid more people will catch on and take all my cheap coconut waters. But in the spirit of Unilocal! and all we Unilocalers stand for, I’ve decided to spread the news about this little find.
Whatever you need, shop here first. I mean it (unless you need ice, then shop here last). Most of the stuff is .99 OR under. I bought probably 6 cases of chocolate flavored coconut water here. The big ones. the big NAME BRAND ones. The 1 liter Zico ones that I priced at the supermarket next door; they were charging 6.59 ON SALE for the same exact drink. But not 99 Cents Only Stores. I bought my choco-​coco-​h2o for, you guessed it, 99 cents.
Theres really something for everybody here.
Want to wash your car? Great selection of soaps and sponges and little lint free cloths.
Like frozen foods? Banquet pot pies and frozen burritos and little yummy looking fruit pies and a ton more, most for UNDER .99 cents.
Like canned foods? Yeah, good luck carrying all that bounty up the stairs to your apartment after stocking up on the beans and salsas around here.
Eat sardines like a sailor? Knock yourself out, Captain Ahab. I bet you’ve never seen such a selection. And although I’ve discovered that the sardines packed in mustard aren’t for me, I won’t judge you for buying them in bulk.
Like ice in your drink? Or are you like me and have a bag you rub all over yourself all the time because you can’t stand this infernal climate? if you do, or are, then have I got news for you. A 7lb bag of good premium ice will cost you, that’s right, .99 cents. I buy one everyday just to sleep with. Like a cool body pillow. Or a frozen corpse. Whatever.
You write letters? BAM! All the stationary you can handle. You’ll be writing letters until long after the USPS shuts down, which will probably be very soon.
Throwing a Birthday Party? You’re in luck. Everything you need right here.
Throwing a Quinceanera? You’re in even greater luck. I swear I once saw a piñata at this place, and you guessed it, it was .99 cents.
Sweet tooth? All name brand candy .59 cents. That’s right, I now have a trunk full of sweet tarts and abba-​zabbas. And I ain’t sharing.
Let’s see Walmart make me this happy. Impossible.
Give it up to the new Royalty of Retail. And please, shop them first.

Although they didn’t have what I was looking for, I love .99 cent stores!

Rude cashier. So angry… should have gotten her name. Will I go back? OF course… That is one thing about these type of biz… people will return because of deals.

I’m not a big 99 cent store shopper. Guess I’m a snob. Now that I’m pinching pennies I’m going to Savers AND the dollar stores! I do wish they wouldn’t call them dollar or 99 cent stores when their prices are more than a dollar, though. I bought a four-​pack of toilet paper, a two-​pack of paper towels and one box of generic tissue and spent $ 13.00.
This store was a typical smaller store– a bit crowded with stuff. It had plenty of brand name items. During the time I was there I found the teenage staff to be standing in a corner gossiping, and the other one engaged in an activity for which one of the boxes of Kleenex would have been more appropriate than his apron. But I digress. I paid for my stuff without standing in a line and was in/​out rapidly. I guess shopping in the middle of a Friday has its benefits.

I”m not a big fan of 99 Cent stores. My wife is though. This one is closest to our house. I sometimes get dragged along, though usually I’ll go to Vons while she looks around here. It’s pretty much like all other 99 Cents stores.

I like this store, it is clean and relatively organized and there are brand name and random brands available. Great to stock up on seasonal Items (luau, memorial day, Halloween etc) paper goods and inexpensive but very cute gift bags. Found little cellophane bags I like for presenting Patisserie Manon Macarons showcasing their pretty pastel colors.
Also, there are all kinds of unique vessels: wine, margarita, champagne, martini glasses & mugs to use as cute presentation when visiting (hostess gifts, etc.) Lots of hair accessories for girls of all ages.
While food items are not as plentiful as Decatur location, I always find enough canned goods, rice: pasta and personal hygiene items to satisfy my monthly donation to Food Banks & Shelters. Care Package goodies for my deployed military friends are plentiful: lots of jerky, nuts, chips, candy, playing cards, baby wipes, hygiene products and novelty items.
There are always kitchen gadgets I can’t seem to pass up and coloring & activity books for visiting little ones. Something for everyone. Even Pez dispenser collector, moi.
A very special thank you to Management: if you plan ahead (month or so) I’ve found them amenable to donating to Non Profit orgs I work with, which makes everyone happy. When purchasing for a non profit, please be sure to bring your Tax Exempt form.
Only con is the vanilla ice cream cones coated in hard strawberry shell have been MIA lately, but my diet: training régime likes that.

This is definitely my favorite 99 cent store, as clean as I have ever seen for a discount store. The staff are always nice and even during the busy seasons, they manage to keep smiles on their faces. I really enjoy how much they have expanded their inventory. I have been a shopper for years and I stopped going for a while, not sure why I ever stopped. After shopping the other day, I realized how much money I can save, I feel like I was just throwing my money away. I still advise reading labels and knowing your products but for 99 cents, its totally worth the extra time.

I’m from Colorado and in the place I live we dont have this particular store. This by no means is your standard «.99 $ store»
ITS AMAZING! They have a variety of all different things, both brand name and knock off! I love to take my son here when he does good in school and give him a few dollars. What I usually get from here are the Reynolds pre-​cut foil things, batteries, and a bunch of other stuff.
Its always pretty clean and theres always staff around to help you find what you need. And theyre not jerks about it!
Go here and spend some benjis! LOL!

I came to get some diet Arizona iced tea. It’s the only store that sells it. It’s not the normal 99 Cents Only Store I go to, but it was close to where I was so I stopped.
Check out was quite fast. For some visits, it takes awhile, but they were on top of things!

I know as a kid I was in the 99 cent store very often. I had a struggling mom when I was little so she would buy a lot of stuff here. I grew up and things got better and we went less and less. I’ve bypassed this for years and probably would have if it wasn’t for an insistence of a friend.
Fallen on hard times, she can survive on 99cents store stuff for food and products. Even though she is staying with us until she gets back up, she insisted we let her buy her own foods. It’s amazing to me whenever someone can live on $ 10 of food for a week and that there are places that make it possible for someone to still eat well on so little. When I was a kid, they didn’t have the produce, bread or refrigerated deli items, but if they did it probably would have saved my mom a ton of money. This branch doesn’t have fresh produce, but according to my friend some of them do. This location was kept clean (I’ve been to ones as a kid with dusty shelves and crusty floors) and I always appreciate a fairly neat store.
I was surprised at some of the brand name stuff I found so I picked up cleaning products like Ajax, various sponges, Reynolds Wrap foil, etc. etc. This is the same stuff that I buy at the store and it would cost $ 2 – 4 for the same thing that’s 99 cents only here.
Is it weird that it blew my mind a bit?
I just didn’t expect there to be good stuff and all just some random generic products that look a bit shady (though there are quite a bit of that too!). I think I need to go more often for those kinds of things… every little savings count when you live on the fringes of «making it» and not «in the money». There’s loads of random, cheap looking junk that it’s worth skipping and go buy a little bit more expensive counterparts for, but finding Arm&Hammer Natural All Purpose cleaner for 99 cents instead of $ 3 a bottle which I go through like a maniac (on the occasion I somehow convince myself to clean) is kinda a gem.

Love coming to this store… some items I’ve picked up here recently:
— Bubble Gum. The good stuff you can make big bubbles with.
— Hot Sauce. There’s some great no named Hot Sauce you can get here.
— Hand sanitizer.
— Eye drops.
— Dish soap.
— Shaving cream.
…and much more. I always end up buying random stuff on the way out… the Bubble Gum is a good example of that. What the hell… it’s less than a $ 1 right?! Ha!
Will I return? You bet.

I like this 99c Only Store. The employees are nice, they pick up the phone whenever I call with a question, and their shelves are always stocked when I go. The lines can get pretty long sometimes, but that is the case even when they have more than a few lanes open. Still, I wish they would hire more people to work the cash registers. Nonetheless, the store stays pretty clean.
Ooh! Ooh! If you need stuff for holiday decorating (i.e. Halloween and Christmas), this place has an awesome aisle of stuff. And guess what? They are all 99c + tax.

So I haven’t been to a $.99 store in a while. And I forgot about all the great deals they do have. Times are tight for just about everyone and a good bargain is sometimes hard to find if you don’t look in the right place. So if you haven’t already started looking here every once in a while you might want to start! They have just about everything here, from plates and dishware to canned food. There is usually one thing you will find even if you aren’t really looking. So the next time you get a chance you might want to take a stroll through and see what you find.
