99 Cent Only Stores

This is one of those places that has a very interesting clientele, similar to what you would see on the people of W mart pages. It pays to know normal retail store prices to know if you are getting a good deal or not, some items are off brands that cost more than one you would find at a regular retail store. They have a decent selection of produce and a small refrigerator/​freezer section as well. Careful driving through the parking lot, for some reason people are quite reckless around here.

I come here very often and usually find what I’m looking for. The store has gotten better in its layout, but still wish it offered better quality items. When they do offer good items, it doesn’t last very long. The customer service is also lacking. The cashiers don’t greet you or talk much at checkout. The best thing about this store is the variety in products they have.

Holy Wow! !!! Reall!!!, fresh produce like English cucumbers, large yellow squash, zucchini, assorted artisan lettuce, 3 types of organic berries, tomotillos, onions, and an odd find like a fresh coconut!!! I walked into this store to find a little item to make a tip jar out of and found so much more than expecting!!! The fresh produce there is what looked to amazing (not all organic) but still a very good option for those trying to be healthy. I didn’t get to walk down the grocery isles because I’m sure I just would of bought anything that looked appealing, cause hey, it’s only 99 cents right!!! I sure am glad I stopped to give this store a go. The one off of Oddie might not be as awesome as this location.

Great selection of food. Sometimes you can even find quality organic food for only c99 each! I am surprised at how much stuff I can get for paying so little every time I shop there. Wish I had discovered this place a lot earlier.

I like this location because it’s right across the street from where I work. This store always seems to have a great selection to choose from. I like to kill time there when I’m a little early for work.
My only complaint is checking out. It always gets busy at the same time of day, yet they never seem to have enough cashiers. So we end up just standing around.
Other than that, I love it here:)

A lot of cool stuff here. A lot of surprises, can’t believe it’s just a dollar. Check out can be long, however. Better than other dollar stores in town.

They have a great variety of things for cheap Some things aren’t actually 99 cents, but they are very few, and for the most part, they’re clearly marked so you’re not surprised at the register.
You have to be a careful consumer to know if 99 cents is actually a good deal. For example, a box of Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate is 99 cents, right? The thing is, it’s only a 6 pack. You can get a box of 10 at Target for $ 1.19. Also, the canned goods, which are mostly off-​brand are 99 cents; however, the cans are smaller than usual. I’ve seen counterparts at Winco, which are in full sized cans, for less money.
I suck down so much Splenda that I’m bound to sprout a tumor any minute, and their price is the best anywhere. It is a generic brand, but it tastes exactly the same and the ingredients are the exact same.
Good deals can be had in the refrigerated section, but there are a lot of off-​brands, and highly processed items.
I bought hot dog buns here once and they were stale.
They have a great selection of produce and there are definitely good deals to be had here; as long as you don’t care about organic and all that biz. 99 cent bags of oranges, potatoes, sweet potatoes, lettuce, radishes. I’ve gotten fresher cucumbers at Winco for less money.
Bandages, gauze, ointments can’t be beat. I’d check there first. Amazing selection of cleaning supplies, gift bags and wrapping paper.
4 stars for the false good deals, and they never have enough checkers, so the lines take forever to get through. There’s not enough cart wrangling either; I’ve seen like 4 in the cue and carts everywhere in the parking lot.
Definitely check it out. Great deals can be had if shop savvily.

All the stuff I do not need but can’t live without! First off– it’s a 99 cents store (with a few exceptions) so relax your über high standard that would apply at Macy’s! Love this place! I stocked-​up on cleaning supplies and found black bean hummus! Thanks for the tip from the awesome lady for that! Who remembers the God awful barely chocolate candty Flicks? They had them! I bought 2 and have no plans to eat them but THEY HAD FLICKS! Always and adventure and a treasure hunt. Really enjoyed the way-​too-​in-​depth conversation with the guy about how all the 4 brands of AAA batteries are made at the same plant. Who says Reno lacks meaningful discussion on vital issues! Palmolive Oxy dish soap 99 friggin cents people!!!

ok so my sister drug me here again. Hey the store is as usual, stuffed with cheap merchandise. It was unusually busy and check out too some time.
But this is not about the stuff or check out… It is about the Toilet.
Never been in here before and good god what a mess. debris all over the place, no tissue and even it there was no place to place it as everything is broken. wet filthy floor, filthy toilet, filthy sink and the walls were disgusting. None of this filth was a recent addition but had been adding up over time. Truly gross.

As with the Dollar Tree, the more I shop here the more I’ve warmed up to the place. They have some really noteworthy regular deals:
— 99 cent bread loaves. Probably not much better quality than the Wonder clones that 99 cents will get you anywhere else, but at least they try to be more interesting with sourdough, rye, Russian, french rolls and loaves, etc. As a vehicle to deliver Sammich to your Mouf they are perfectly fine
— 70 to 85% cocoa full-​size choco bars for a buck pretty frequently
— Produce appears to come from California and Washington farms (like the apple bags for $ 1) so I’m not too ascared of eating it. They seem to be getting a better selection over time too, like now they regularly have bags of baby spinach for $ 1.
— Granny Goose snacks. Heck yeah sodium.
— Every condiment and sauce you can think of (and some in brand names) for a buck

Growing up in Southern California 99 Cent Stores are everywhere. Went to this one because I needed some cheap things. They had a lot of organic canned food! Overall this place was clean, well organized, and it wasn’t too crowded. I do agree that they could use more workers at the registers. I’ve noticed that’s how it is at all locations. Maybe 8 stands with 2 people working at them.

Out of all the dollar stores (and there are many) The 99 Cent Store is the best. Home based in Southern California, there is only one in Northern Nevada (Reno). However, whispers through Carson City, have a 99 Cents Store coming to the Capital City. Where and when? I don’t know. The 99 Cent store (if you have never been) has everything you could possible need, plus a great grocery aisle. The food is high quality. And the stores are always stocked highly. Thank You Carson City is this is what is in the plans. BTW The 99 Cent Store in Reno is highly awesome too!
99 Cent Store Number One In the Nation!!!

I like this place better than the dollar tree because they have a frozen food section and produce granted its not greatest but it still good when you in a pinch and need lettuce or some fruit or some little frozen things. I think they have a better variety of products all around. My husband and I come here over the dollar tree now. We are fans of this place and usually get out pretty quickly too. I have never had to wait in line for a long time here. Maybe 5 min if that. They are speedy at getting you out.

I think the $ 1 stores are more competitave, as the only thing I see here is produce, everything else is the same. checkouts can use more checkers. always wondered why they have like 8 checkouts but only one runs!
