Buyer beware: Read the previous reviews and you will see this is a continuing problem at this place. I took an item to the register to pay. It was clearly marked .49 with a green sticker, as well as the entire stock on the shelf of 100+ units. When I went to pay for it, the owner says«oh these are $ 1.49». Even though the price sticker was clear. I told her to take it off and the sticker said .49, not $ 1.49! She just looked at me. Extremely deceptive! Use caution if you come here and watch them closely while they ring you up. Get an itemized receipt. Also, as most of the other reviews state — all items they sell are expired, damaged, dented. The place is a royal mess! Nothing edible would be anything I’d buy. The ONLY positive: there is an African American woman who works there as a stocker who is extremely pleasant and helpful. Very nice person to interact with.

Great deals sometimes. But lots of their foods are way, way past their deadlines for eating. I’ve seen stuff stay here for months!!! Also, often times packages are perforated. Chicken is sometimes putrid when you thaw it! That means it’s thawed before. Health Department on its way. The owner is an unfriendly Pakistani(or Indian or something close to that) who is RUDE and I get the impression he views Americans as suckers). He even flagged a gal for an alleged $ 5 counterfeit bill. Get real, fool. Mist of their canned stuff is overpriced. Cheaper at Stater Bros. Beware spoiled food. Check it carefully. Pumpkin pies moldy and moldy bread.

Giving them 1 star was hard. This place is a mess. I walked in there on a day where many items were marked as 2×99 cents. I thought WOW this is a huge bargin. So I proceeded to go shopping. As I get to the register, the woman looks over at another and says are these taco shells two for a dollar? She laughs and says nooooooo what’s wrong with all the prices? My son walked with her and said yeah mom you were right as he walked over to me the lady followed saying no your not and was holding a ripped piece of construction paper that said taco 99 cents. I said okay thinking I read it wrong. I accepted it maybe I made a mistake. Then everything on my cart was wrong. EVERYTHING. Funny part was, the one working the register asked, do you want them anyways? I said no. While the other woman kept saying noooo while laughing this annoying greedy type of a laugh. I said why would I place all this in my cart, then decide to price them at 2 for a dollar? O said makes no sense. The I seen the woman with my own two eyes changing g all the prices. Then asked the shipment guy, did you change the aaprin too? I said see. I knew I was right. Your changing them all out now. Again she laughs at me. I takethe remaining items home to find out every single item has expired over a year and a half O-o ALLOFTHEM… I mean seriously. I gave them a call to tell them and she yelled take them to me now. I said ALL of my food is severely expired, are you allowed to sell these items like that? She said take it back to the store. So, before I return all my products I’m leaving a review, calling the FDA& reporting to the B.B.B This place is a bunch of people looking to rip others off at ANY cost. I’m disgusted and can’t seem to father ANYONE willing to shop there.

Some great deals, but you really have to check the dates. Some of the food items I have seen expired a few months to 2 years ago. Be careful!

What place did the other reviewers go to? Couldn’t have been this place. What a Bargain is a below average«discount» store; it’s not better than any 99 Cents Only stores that are on the higher quality end anyway. The place is dingy, poorly lit, and aisles and products are dusty/dirty. MOST items are between $ 2-$ 4. Some are 99 cents, but it’s mostly school supplies and off-brand shampoos. I went in hoping to find some of the great stuff others have been Unilocaling about, but to no avail. No Tim Tams, not great food, etc. I did buy some British chocolate bars, but they tasted like soap; they had been sitting too long somewhere next to something scented. Got some cheddar snacks(like Cheeze-its) that also tasted bad; they tasted like potpourri! I fear a lot of their food has this problem. The rest of the stuff(food/snacks, beverages, clothes, decorations, school supplies, etc) all looks about what you’d find at Dollar Tree or something. Saw some good brand lotions, but they were all melted and had separated. Ew. :(Bought a foaming hand sanitizer, only to discover that the solution had been overheated and it wouldn’t actually foam or WORK. Saw some pastas and things I thought about buying, but after the previous bad food experience I’m scared to eat food from here. I did find some nice small plastic food storage tubs which I’m going to store pet foods in, but really it’s no better than any other discount store. The fact there’s no AC and food tastes like cosmetics makes me happier to scrounge through the clean/well-stocked 99 Cent Only stores I’ve found.

A reasonably inexpensive store. Prices of merchandise varies. Some less than 99 cents, others over $ 1 but they’re pretty good deals. This store also has limited key copy service if you need your keys copied. Each key at 99 cents. They have some hard to find, don’t sell in regular stores anymore items. You’ll have to do a walk about to see what suits you. They have food items, beverages, snacks, clothes(not sure about the lingerie items outside on the sidewalk), school items, garage/yard sale supplies, puzzles, toys, decorative items, storage containers and lots more. C’mon down fellow Unilocalers. Parking may be limited in parking lot, but come and take a look anyway.

Yea I agree w/the other reviewers, this place rocks as a 99 cent & variety store, even the stuff priced a little higher, is still waaay cheaper than those other 99⁄98 cents & up,(those places are a joke, stuff overpriced higher than big lots) this store actually has some really good items, everything from food to household to gift wrap, make up/beauty supplies, the list goes on & on & on… really good for the students nearby, whether University or Elementary/HS age, as they have alot of school supplies and large postersize boards… I highly recommend it, there is only one other store I can compare this to, and its in Pomona, but I like this one just as much…

What a bargain indeed! Seriously, this place couldn’t have been more aptly named. WaB is oozing with deals. There is nothing I love more than a good bargain [color me cheap], and WaB seems to have all the odds and ends that I probably don’t need but can’t possibly live without! For example: I bought my pink Snuggie for only $ 5 bucks! They also have the biggest selection of junk food and candy– something I really don’t need, but can’t possibly live without. Though I really shouldn’t shop at What a Bargain, but because can’t live without it– I will give it five much deserved stars!

Move over Dollar Tree, this place blew away all my expectations! I’ve never been so giddy inside a dollar store. Granted, I reallllllllly like Dollar Tree, so to be impressed by another dollar store is well, impressive! Straight up, there’s a lot of junk in here. And not everything’s a dollar(check the shelves and price tags). I filled my basket in less than 10 minutes and my friends had to literally drag me out of the store. And I didn’t even get to explore all the aisles! Here’s what I got for about $ 20: — two $ 1 Nature Valley granola bars. the legit-6-bars pack. Never less than $ 1.50 anywhere else. — six $ 1 Lock and Lock tupperwares. These are GREAT, high-quality tupperwares and usually run between $ 3-$ 7 per piece. — $ 412-pack of Bear Naked granola Bars — $ 2 Conair big barrel brush. Just saw this at Target for $ 8. …annnnnnd drumroll please: — six $ 1PEPPERIDGEFARMTIMTAMS. the reason why obesity runs rampant in Australia. Tim Tam Slam, here I come!!! Pretty excited about this place, can you tell? I think they must rob delivery trucks to get prices this low. Or work with the Mafia. Either way, this place rocks.
