dd’s DISCOUNTS

I used to shop here all of the time. When I forget why I stopped shopping here, I find myself back in this store. The clothes are good at best, they are priced fair and sometimes for a larger family it’s just what the doctor ordered… One star…
Now the reason for only 1 star. My 3years old needed to use the restroom, My cart is full we had been in the store for an hour. The lady at the dressing room says, «There is no bathroom for you here». I think to myself do I leave mad and drive 5miles back home or risk my son having an accident at the check out. My 5year old say «This store is too big», then walks off and asks another worker lol. Sure enough the bathroom is behind the dressing room. Next I have this constant feel like I’m being watched. Oh there goes lost and prevention again. What a surprise. LAST STRAW… As I am in line to check out the greeter/​cart cop turns into a cashier. Get this she tells me to go to the next line where a lady still hasn’t been rung up and helps the person behind me. What the heck is that about. Isn’t it «next in line please»? By the time she was done with the people behind me I was barely getting my clothes on the counter. When I pull the last item out she says to me «You know you aren’t taking the cart out of the store right?» I just looked at her then looked at the ⁶¹⁄₂ foot pole attached to the darn thing and turned back around before I found my choice stash of words to use on her.
At the check out I set aside more clothes and just ended up getting the essentials for my vacation. I won’t spend my hard earned money on a place where the customer service is so terrible. I work with difficult clients often so I am sure to treat folks with respect. I can tell everyone is forced to say «Hi» ever time they see a customer. There is more to good customer service though.

Who doesn’t love deals!!! I know I do!!! This is not only a cheap place but you can also find the big brand clothes too if you look carefully! Lots of pretty fashionable clothing BUT I wish there was more selection on the jeans and shorts specially since summer is around the corner. :)

so cheap cloths!

Why the low rating people?!? you get what you pay for and the store is called DD’s discounts! so i have figured out the system… From highest to lowest… homegoods stores-​tj maxx –marshalls-​ross and lastly DDS! so goods i guess go through this system when cant be sold at one store or the product is not perfectly made it goes to dds. personally DDs is cool… you find some really good deals on somethings you… I like to find those special products for super cheap! it’s like a ross but cheaper. so i like it and this location maybe cause its in saratoga… there are always a lot of stuff here!
you gotta examine your stuff tho to make sure its not damaged. i like to go to DDs just to walk around see the as seen on tv stuff or frames or even the crafts section. similar to ross’ section but cheaper… after i discovered dds i dont go to ross to walk around anymore i go here!
There are a few locations in the bay area and if you find one item at one store you’re likely to find it at another dds! useful information for when u find something awesome and you want another one!!!
check it out!

I rarely shop at dd’s, decided to rate this specific location because the times I did stop by to kill time, there was this one heavy set worker that would always follow us around the store and give us attitude. Along with all the other workers, not a fan. Also the clothes are cheaply made. Sometimes you can find something cute, other than that, you get what you pay for. The only products I possibly question to like is the house décor.

My wife went in to DD’s Discounts to purchase some floor mats. On entering the store, the cashier snaps that you can’t carry your own empty bag into the store. So my wife hands her the bag, which she tags and stores it away. She went ahead and found some oversized floor mats, which she put in her cart, paid, got her bag back and proceeded to exit the store. When the cashier snaps again, you cannot take the shopping cart outside to the car park! What, you can’t take the shopping carts to your car? Yes, she snaps, it’s our store policy. What a stupid policy I tell you. So she and her friend had to carry the oversized mats out to the car (store does not provide bags nor allow carts out the door). You have to hand carry whatever you buy. Avoid this store like the plague that it is, 1 star, we will not return and tell everyone we know, no soup for you…

This is my go-​to place to pick up any kind of baking pan. I’ve gotten countless glass bakeware and even a cupcake holder/​transporter. Lines can get a little long and slow and employees REALLLLY don’t care but its cheap and works just as well as expensive bakeware so it can be overlooked.

sometimes they have useful cheap stuff. i saw a dog bark collar here for about $ 10. usually at the pet stores it’s closer to at least $ 80. aside from the occasional dog deal, i can sometimes find inexpensive «as seen on tv», or car or electronic accessories here.
generally tho, it’ a lot of junk. the clothes are very low quality, much worse than ross or marshalls, altho the layout of the store and price range is similar to those discount retailers. shirts are around 8 – 12 $, with clearance knocking them down a few dollars. jeans are pretty inexpensive, less than $ 12 for many of them, but they all seemed to be dyed the way that would seriously bleed into the wash.
they have very few food items, unlike ross. maybe a few spices, if that. this is not a particularly large store. i generally only come in here to kill time if i’m in the area, i work around the corner once a week and like to check out what’s on clearance at fresh and easy next door. i would not seek this out as a destination.
they are pretty strict about bringing bags in, which is pretty annoying, as i even have to drop off any empty bags i bring in (this being san jose and bags are no longer free). they’ll give you a ticket to retrieve your bags, but they haven’t given me a ticket for my empty bags, so i did leave them here once on accident.

this seeems to be rmy favorite dds i have been to alot of them its one of my favorite discount stores. The only problem i c with all DDs discount stores are there complete lack of a restroom. They tell u to go use the bathroom at cvs next door ugh. when u have a small child like me that is a major porblem. I have been to about 4 other locations of DDs and in my last review about the one on south west expressway i mentioned it also. Its bad coustomer service to not have a toliet. The clothes are a good price here and there is always something different everytime i go! They have good shoes if u wear a size 11 like me and cute shirts. But there jeans eh not my taste, The only reason i did not give this location all its stars is because of no restroom and the dressing room lady was very rude to me last time. Barking orders to me about where to put my basket.

Every time I come here I end up finding something to buy. Whether it be a top, leggings, a Marilyn Monroe shot glass set, car mats, socks … I find something and most of the time the items are under $ 12. The quality has been pretty good so far, no complaints yet. Ive wore a few items from here, added my own cute accessories and have been ready for a night out, looking better than a lot of people who tried super hard and spent much more on their outfits. I don’t like the Loss Prevention ppl looking @ me (or is it everyone that feels this way?) like a thief. I am not going to steal a $ 5 tank top when I have more than enough money to buy it. The store is usually pretty clean, no clothes on the floor for the most part (unlike the ESSJ DD’s with all these damn kids running around the place, messing sh*t up). Ill go back to the Saratoga DD’s. it’s hard not to; i work on the next block.

Be aware!!! This store treat ALL customers like thieves… When you open the door, a security guard is the first person, who you will see. I saw the guard was kicking out customers several times. But I did not care, for I guessed they did something bad… Today, I spent $ 60. there and had a bad experience…
A casher boy zipped open the package of «Queen size bed protector», which I paid and searching inside, as if I was hiding unpaid item in between the protector!!! I don’t care if it could be a routine to them, or I was a suspect by their mistakes… But I’m uncomfortable and very upset.
No matter how the store locates the best convenient for me, I would NEVER come back there again.
If you insist to go there, you 1) do not bring a big bag, 2) do not use a changing room, 3) do not open any package inside, 4) use push cart though even you have nothing to buy, and 4) do not trust the size described in the store. I purchased a pack of panties for my daughter 6 years old the other day. I gave away them to my 2 yrs. old niece because the size was the way too small. Again, they do not like for you to open the package to check the size. Just be careful. :-(

This place always has a cheap, great selection of boots. And I’m a boot whore so that’s freaking awesome for me.
Unfortunately just about everything else in the store is pretty piss poor.

I love this store.
I shop here occasionally ater having lunch nearby at Zeni Ethiopian Restaurant. I’ve found some incredible deals:
* Organic cotton king sheet set (250 thread count, eco-​friendly dyes) for $ 13.99 — not super soft, but still a deal’s a deal.
* Spiderman cup, plate, and bowl set for about $ 4
I saw Spiderman and Diego backpacks, toys, clothing, and all kinds of crap that kids like.
Most of the sheets aren’t organic, and all are reasonably priced. Some are softer than others.
This is a great place to go if you need stuff, but are on a budget.
Parking is easy in the lot and they take credit cards.

I love DD’s! Where else can a woman get a cute top for 8 bucks, a pair of Apple Bottom jeans for 15 bucks and maybe a cute pair of shoes for another 5 bucks or so? Yeah, you do have to search the racks of ugly clothes that no one wanted, but when you find that oh so adorable top you just have to have for less than 10 bucks you feel elated. It’s like the gates of Heaven opened up and you hear angels singing and playing harps.
DD’s is sorta like Ross. In fact, I believe they are sister stores. Some days they have lots of great finds, other days, its straight up crap. I have gotten myself a pair of Baby Phat jeans, Apple Bottom Jeans, Baby Phat tops and purses and a Dereon purse. They were all less than 20 bucks.
My favorite DD’s was in Fremont but that one closed down. I shop at this one and the one in Sunnyvale on El Camino by In n Out Burger.
Only downside of buying clothes here, they don’t last long. But like the saying goes, you get what you pay for. But do you really expect a shirt you paid 5 bucks for last a lifetime?

I saw some velvet hangers supposedly on sale for $ 5.99 for 10. They are $ 15 for 50 at Costco. I’d rather go to Costco.
I have bought some items more so for the home than anything else. The clothes are a joke. Very cheap because they are cheaply made. These are clothes that not even Ross can sell. Maybe good for Halloween and disposable clothing but not much else.
This place is just messy sometimes. People just don’t seem to care here and customer service is non-​existent. Also, they don’t let you return sunglasses but no one tells you that when you buy them. Even if the tags are still on and everything. Anyone want a pair of $ 5 sunglasses?

What does a girl do when she needs to get scrubs for her class?
she goes here to discover not only affordable scrubs but cute (Disney and baby phat designed scrubs). Who knew Kimora Lee Simmons designed clothes for the heath professionals.
There’s a variety of scrub selections even from xs (I’m quite petite)
to the much larger sizes (plus sizes and x1 x2 sizes). Their pants selection is a bit limited but luckily i found one where the length isn’t going to drag and clean the floors with.
Also noticed they have maternity clothes and really nice items do decorate your home with (cute pillows and etc).
back to my scrubs: i bought a mickey short sleeved and a long sleeve pooh and piglet top. And Black dickies pants :) I can’t wait to wear my scrubs: D
on the final note: now i have TLC no scrubs song stuck in my head

This is a cheap-​o clothing and housewares store, like Ross. I’m not into shopping, so this type of store — where you have to browse a lot to find the hidden treasures — is not my taste. But I was certainly able to find a last minute outfit here for my toddler when her pants were wet and I didn’t have a spare. And it was absurdly inexpensive.
So if you like shopping at low end stores, you will probably love DD’s. If you have to wait for a table at Zeni or Tanto, you might as well wander in.
This location used to be an Albertson’s supermarket.

How can a store be more ghetto then Ross?
Lower End Ross = DD’s
NO THANK YOU

BOO dd’s discount…
The fact that this place has NO RESTROOM facilities for customers. Just a lame permanent sign that says restroom out of order despite staff coming in & out. If San Jose requires gas stations to have restrooms why can’t they require dept stores to do the right thing.

Although not as organized as some of the other discount retailers, DD’s discounts is offers some great buys! I was there for the first time today (by a friend’s recommendation) and was able to pick-​up a nice sundress, some socks and a few items for the house.
The sheets were the best buy but they also had Nine West heels for less than 10 $. They didn’t fit… dang it!
They didn’t have much in the men’s section that wasn’t ‘urban style’ wear. Haha. Oh well.
I’m giving them 4 stars instead of my initial 3 thought cause the people that work there are so friendly!
