99 Cent Only Stores

They suck!!! They have no sense of humor! Do not shop here!!! I made a comment when i was outside the store that they should open at 9am. and the person with no sense of humor told me to «move along?» Let me ad to that horrible customer service skills and extremely rude people you suck! I seriously doubt this is legal. I need to look into this and if it is not legal i will for sure look into suing.

Since they changed ownership the items are much more cheaper than before. I guess the lead content must be higher in these products now. That’s why the people who work there look a little HAGgared. The prices also vary as well. I think they need to change their sign. .99 for crap and 1.99 for no lead, lasts more than a day items.

There was a period in my life where I thought THIS was the best 99 Cents Only Store in existence; better than both in SLO County, better than the one on Willow Pass in Concord, but I know now that it’s not better than the one in Fairfield. You can do better, Clayton store.
This one is fairly clean and has a large inventory, but certain items aren’t consistently carried and more often than not I go in looking for something I’ve bought before and can’t find it. Weirdly, other locations I’ve been to have more consistent stock. Not sure why this is.
I haven’t paid more than $ 1 for sunglasses, sunscreen, gift wrap, greeting cards, face cream, random snacks, mylar balloons or fuzzy socks in years. Especially if you’re looking for party favors or cheap kid’s toys, it’s hard to beat this place. They pull in a decent amount of clearanced brand-​name stuff (including weird variations on popular candies and snacks that never made it to market). It’s a bit of a museum for the impulse buy.
Just beware of those items that cost $ 1.99 or $ 2.99 now. They’re getting sneaky!

The folks are friendly there, you can find all kinds of random gems from chocolate to produce to electronics accessories to dvds to paper products to Halloween to Christmas decorations at, of course, decent prices! Glad it’s around to help shave some bucks off expenses.

Great store! Good produce. I bought a variety of melons there and they were every bit as good as Safeway’s.
If you do find something you love then be syre to purchase plentu! They may not have it the next uou shop there.
The employees are friendly and the store kept clean.

Not much to really say about this location. I know the 99 cent stores aren’t known for their amazing customer service, or vast shopping variety. However, this location deserves a mention.
Some of the items I purchased here I actually did not expect to find at any 99 cent store. A closet caddy thing that holds clothes well, that’s currently slowly breaking apart in my closet I may add. I also purchased an HDMI cable, that’s only 3 feet long, but it does work.
The employees here is basically what I expected: Monotone, the tone in their voice makes you think they hate their jobs, and basically putting off the vibe that they just don’t care.
Also, I wouldn’t buy any of the «fresh» produce they have. Came in today and saw a woman literally eating grapes out of the bag.

Wow! I never knew a 99 cent store would have so many quality things. This store is huge!!!

This place is not much to look at from the outside, but don’t be fooled! If you want to eat healthy on a tiny budget, this is the spot! I go here weekly for reduced fat milk ($ 2.50 for a gallon!), Guerrero tortillas and chips (authentic & the very best ever), berries ($ 1.25 per pack!), diced fruit, granola bars, unsweetened applesauce, pretzels, baking mix, dried fruit, nuts, Langers juice, Pilsbury cinnamon rolls, chocolate milk, string cheese, & whole wheat bread. They also have seaweed, coconut water, Chobani yogurt, etc. and lots of other healthy options & good name brands.

I went to the store today thinking that things would be 99 cents but it seemed like everything that was decent was over that 99 cent mark. What a disappointing shopping trip that was filled with lies. Things there aren’t of high quality so why even spend the money on it. I left with nothing.

Oh no, we don’t have enough candy for my daughter’s piñata! Her birthday party starts in half an hour! Well, I knew of a store half a mile away from the party where I could solve that problem.
99 Cents Only has candy. It also has frozen food, produce, greeting cards, cleaning supplies, audio/​visual wiring, kitchen utensils, toys, socks, makeup, and TP. It’s not all 99 cents; actually, as of 2014, most of it is 99.99 cents, and some is higher (cases of bottled water, a gallon of milk). But the prices are competitive, and the selection is bigger than Dollar Tree.
My love for 99 Cents Only goes back to my semi-​frequent trips to Los Angeles in the previous millenium. I discovered this store somewhere around Van Nuys, and I was amazed at how much they had in this store — and for only a dollar each! Seems like every time I went to LA after that, I stopped into a 99 Only and stocked up, especially on the Chris & Pitts bbq sauce.
When this store opened on Clayton Road around 2000, I was a very happy man. The one in the Puke-​n-​Shop is closer to our home, but my hunny would rather come here, it has more things for sale.
I do notice, however, that the variety and quality has gone down over the last ten years. With the value of the dollar having tanked and likely to go lower, 99 cents just won’t buy as much as it used to, even with how this store buys its goods. So there’s a Food Maxx close by, and a Dollar Tree located a mile the other direction, if you can get a better deal at one of them.
Overall, a good place to buy your household needs if you’re on a strict budget, or even if you’re not. After all, if you can get something good for 99 cents, why pay $ 3 for the exact same thing somewhere else?

some of the stuff here is worthless but then there is a ton of things that save you a ton of $$$$$$$. All being said, this place is pretty clean, well stkcked, and if you arent too stuck up… you can seriously do. well with a small budget.

huge store, well stocked. not exactly 99 cents but 99.99 which means $ 1. lots of edibles available, quality so so. rest of store is household necessities.
buys:
–poore brothers maui onion thin chips
very salty, onion not tasted 2 star
–bali coffee candy
very sweet, sumatra coffee tasted, 4 stars
–sesame cookie thins
bland, slight taste, 2 stars
take outs:
–lots of parking, large aisles, lines at register.

You get what you pay for here… which isn’t much… so don’ expect a lot. But they do have a little bit of everything. I really like their party supply selection, and they do have produce, but it goes bad within a day. Not enough people on staff. Decent enough place.
