Joes 99 Cent Store

It used to be 99 store. Then prices went up& up U know… this store has really great stuff @ fantastic prices! It is my couture shop 4 earings! Either $ 1 or expensive ones as in 2 pendant necklaces which I hang in
hooks (bead shop) most expensive earings $ 2 ! Loads of compliments: guess price $ 10 to $ 50 how do u beat that? I always check here 1^st 4 tools & diy construction projects. They get lots of overruns. Forgo customer service. 1 or 2 people in whole store. Pleasant but U need to know ur products don’t expect them to & U won’t be disapointed I prefer great prices & finding hidden gem’s. I highly recommend.

Yeah… so it’s NOT really a 99 Cent Store. Some of their things are a buck– and a lot of it isn’t. However, overall most of their things are good prices. They have $ 3.99 Halloween costumes. You’d pay $ 20-​$ 30 for the same ones at Target. The really good deals are harder to find, but they are there, if you have the time. They have lots of good deals on office supplies and kitchen items.

This store shouldn’t call 99 store. A lot of the items are over 99 cents. I grabbed a lot of stuff and didn’t check the price knowing its 99 cents just like any store that says 99 cents, so when i was paying for it found out 1.50 and more so i returned it and the lady was so rude. Don’t ever Go to this store.

Joe’s 99c… Where do I begin?
Well, I didn’t see anyone by the name of Joe there, nor did I find even one item that was 99c. Most items were $ 1.49 & up.
Most items in the store were total crap. Chinese tupperware, styrofoam plates, black Jesus figurines made of the finest plastic available in Hong Kong. I kept thinking to myself «Who hates the Earth that much that they would purchase 50 styrofoam plates?» Maybe they would be interested in a pack of 7 count styrofoam cups as well. Who even comes up with these numbers? I’m blaming the Chinese.
The only thing worth while at Joes is that they carry «KleanColor» nail polish $ 1! (Note: not 99c) This is my favorite nail polish brand and I usually spend $ 4/​bottle so for me, this is a deal! (This is also the ONLY reason this place is even getting 3 stars.)
Upon leaving, I noticed a sign on the door, facing inwards (go figure), «No Strollers.» Really? No strollers? Why? The aisles aren’t small. Are they afraid someone is going to make-​off with the precious black Jesus figurine that they are trying to sell for $ 2.39?

Sometimes it bugs me when a place touts itself as being a 99 cent store, but then in small print drops the bomb «and up» after the HUGE enticing sign. First of all, I’d like to make it clear that I don’t think anything here is actually 99 cents, because when asked what a small trinket at the counter cost cost, the reply was «one dorrar.» (Okay, she wasn’t azn, and she answered me in Spanish, but I wish that things were different). And the majority of things priced seemed to fall in the $ 1.29-$ 1.59 range, with the occasional, gasp, $ 4.99 item.
I’ve only ever passed Joe’s before while making the trek to get phở on most Monday lunches that I feel like death after a particularly brutal Sunday Funday.
Today was an exception though. Last night, due to procrastination that comes with the territory, I found myself without a gift for tonight’s white elephant exchange hosted by work. Target fit the bill, but alas, I had no wrapping paper to disguise the finery I was set to impose on an unsuspecting coworker. Enter Joe’s. Two words. Ghet To. With the exception of the bum precariously taking a nap on steps not far from the entrance and the gold toothed Moor who asked me if I was a fine chess player, this place was comparable to any other store of its kind I have previously graced with my presence. I found a cute bag and tissue paper in which to hide my cooler with speakers (shhhhh, it has room for a12 pack!!!), and I found some gifts for donation to tomorrow night’s Elite toy drive. After all, who wouldn’t want a glorified ball in cup game? Or terrorist fighter action figures?
When I went to check out, my total was a whopping $ 8.99 at which point I was informed that I could spend one more dollar to use my card or be charged $ 1 to use my card. Had there not been someone in line after me, I would’ve jumped at the chance to browse the aisles and find something exciting to add, but alas, I picked the most God awful ring in front of me and was on my way.
