Alum Rock Dollar Store

GREAT STORE! very big and very cheap! the workers there are extremely nice and friendly! it really is good and there is possibly everything you can find here. very good supply and food store for great prices!

pretty large, for a family run store. most of the stuff is very very cheap, but there are a lot of different types of items, from clothes to food to steel pots and pans to pregnancy tests.
the owners are vietnamese and sweet, i’ve left my wallet here before, and they helped me find it.
they recently added a clothing store at the back of the building. it wasn’t open anytime i’ve come in, but i could see the clothes, they’re cheap polyester stuff.
probably the best thing they have is a giant selection of ghetto airbrush-​style mexican t-​shirts. the images depict things like super buff bald cholo men, scantily-​clad busty women in aztec warrior gear, pitt bulls straining at chains that barely restrain them.
my friends bought two shirts, one said «death zone», with two colorful roosters flying at each other. the other said «after school special», it had a girl in a bikini, posing seductively on top of a low rider, licking a lollipop.
oh east san jose, you will always have a special place in my heart.

I’ve found a gem of a store! this place looks ghetto and small but once you walk in, it’s gigantic and full of treasures! It’s got everything I need at such a cheap price — organization, household and beauty supplies for much cheaper than Walmart or OSH.
The one thing that sold me is that they’ve got MODEL 21 10-​pack false eyelashes (faux eyelashes) for $ 4.99! I can’t find them anywhere else except eBay or Amazon for $ 10 a pack. Saves me shipping and costs half as much. They’ve also got single use pairs for $ 1 each. These lashes are wonderful and I use them all the time.
