99 Cents Only Stores

Why does it have to be this location that has all the good crap?
I once found a large Pillow Pet that was a limited edition American flag print. This was a total score since my children are up obsessed with those ridiculous Pillow Pets. It’s actually kind of annoying, but that’s not my point… My point is that the pillows are normally at least $ 20 so finding one at the $.99 only store was a deal!
Unfortunately, The staff falls short of providing excellent customer service especially when it comes to the horribly long lines at checkout. This has to be the most frustrating part of the whole experience.
Let me just emphasize how busy this location is. But no matter how busy they are for how many people are in line they only have two registers open, that’s right only two! You can expect the lines to go down part of the aisles and be waiting quite a while.
However, I continue to go back for the great deals! I’m just that cheap.

Got everything here that I had intended to buy with a quickness and of course as the name goes everything was just 99 cents.
I got some laundry items, a couple packs of hangers (10 pieces) and office supplies.
The store itself looked a bit dingy, has that Walmart vibe to it, slow cashiers and the parking lot is sketchy with it’s roaming shopping carts, wandering people and litter. 4 stars for the cheap price of the items although you give up the idea of quality and 2 stars for the uncomfortably dirty store and parking lot. I’d go to a different location.

This location has gotten filty !
However, they still have all the .99 cent items that you crave for and even have milk, bread and eggs.
I prefer the location on 43^rd Ave & Bell Road. Much cleaner.

I love this store. Everything is under $ 1.00 as promised. They’ve got tons of canned food and for someone who is single and lives alone, this is the best way to spend your money. The portions are usually single person size. They have everything from spices to bread to tupperware.
I go to this store once a week and get MOST of everything i need and it usually comes out to about $ 25. This is definitely not possible at Safeway, Walmart, or a CVS store.
It is also pretty clean and big. A bit crowded on the weekends.

Decent store with everything at 99 cents or less. They have quite a bit of everything from dog treats, milk products (in a cooler) to paperware. Their durable goods are a bit lacking, which is to be expected at this price point. But they do carry light bulbs, which is nice. It does get quite busy in here but not as bad as Walmart or Target on a weekend afternoon.
To give you an idea, their prices are a bit better than CVS/​Walgreens discount/​weekly ad items (and those stores require a card). I usually go in here to grab some of the things that would require a drive to a larger big-​box store but this is just more convenient. This store is located in the corner stripmall on the NW corner of Peoria/​35^th Ave, across from Fry’s grocery. The only complaint I have is they don’t take Amex but that’s a minor issue.
