99 Cents Only Stores

Love this store. 5 min walk from where I live and I always leave with a bunch of random goodies!
I find GOLD at this 99 cent store. The last trip yielded:
–7 small avocados with $ 1.99
–Gold/​silver temporary tattoos (as seen on TV) 4 sheets!
–a set of Goode hair ties (assorted colors)
–butter lettuce
–4 blueberry bagels
–strawberry cream cheese
Loooooooooove this place. The produce is actually not bad at all!
The avocados are the perfect size for eating in one sitting! (About the size of your palm). I bought them when they weren’t rip yet and 2 days later, one was barely ripe! Yay! Avocadoooooooos for days (literally)!
The tattoos are high quality and could definitely sell for TONS MOREEEE. The pack comes with 4 full sheets: 2 gold and 2 silver. I’m going to have so much fun with these for my Mexico trip!
The blueberry bagels and strawberry cream cheese went perfectly together! Not stale or old at all. Sealed and everything.
The butter lettuce was perfect my salmon burgers this morning. Fresh and thick!
The hair ties were high quality. Went 3x around my thick hair and still good! Holds shape and holds my thick hair up all day! Came in 4 different colors.
I come back all of the time. The only thing that bums me out is how messy it is. I understand but it’s hard to find things. Also, everything is always rotating so when I go back to get the same idea again, it’s rarely there. –1 for inconsistency.

You can find many things here, but not everything is 99 cents.
Parking is always easy.
Check out lines are always long and most of the time there are only 2 cashiers. Do not expect customer service from the cashiers. The indian lady gave me the wrong change, so count the change that is given back to you!

Due to the recent construction in this area, I really despise going in this direction. It sucks for the people going this way, sucks for the businesses in this location because it is pretty much dead. I needed to go to get some wrapping paper and ribbon for a party and I’m sure most of us don’t want to spend too much on wrapping paper since it’s going to be ripped and thrown away anyways. Ok moving on to the review of this store…
Store itself is pretty big, they have lots of selection. Lot of food items as well. I was surprised they had some organic stuff, such as juices and fruits. It is a bit messy, as most 99 cents stores are. The only thing I will say is that the check out lines are always long and they should open one up at least. I see other workers just kind of standing around. The parking lot sucks, it is a bit crowded due to many shops in the same strip mall and badly constructed.

They have alcohol! Good stuff at that!!!
My husband and I always stop by and try something different before a get together at our house! And everyone always loves the different selections that we have!
Party City?! Man say no more !! This place have balloons, cake plates, dinner plates for parties. A pack for a dollar! Mind blowing!
They even have baby essentials !! Say what?!
Bibs socks rattles teething rings burping cloths receiving blankets, diapers.
So grateful for this store!
Don’t let me get started on the produce …

Today, I learned that 99 cent store has better selection and overall better presentation than Dollar Tree. Keep in mind that items are 99 cents + tax, so my single item came out to be $ 1.08.

So my friend posted a list that they needed for the bbq/​pool party. So glad this was around the corner when I saw that posting. I bought everything that was needed for about $ 13. Had I shopped elsewhere, it would’ve cost probably well over $ 20 something.
The only crappy part about these places is that there are homeless people and weirdos that stick around. We had this one guy try to interact with us in front of the store. Then he came in and followed my friend and I trying to get our numbers. He didn’t care about anything we said to reject him. Creepy weirdo…

You can find almost anything here for 99 cents! Well, things are starting to be $ 1.99,$ 2.99 so be careful!
You can find anything from household cleaning, dog food, school supplies, food (check expiration date), toys, car supplies, really., just about anything!
I often come here for cheap holiday decorations that I often use for just one event and dispose it right after that.
You are almost never to walk out with just one item. There’s ALWAYS something for the restroom, your dog, for school… Haha!
Some things I get here:
carpet powder
baby wipes
fabuloso (great for mopping the house)
School supplies
Dog toys
Holiday supplies
Toilet paper
Tortilla (guerrero)
Balloons
Alcohol/​hydrogen peroxide
Band aid
Creamer (in fridge– the good brand)
The list goes on., lol
Tip– for a $ 1, you can’t expect Quality. So be wise on what you purchase and actual things that you would not need great quality. For example, $ 1 battery. Don’t expect it to last long.
The only thing I don’t like is that the line can be very long and there’s just one cashier…

Not everything here is actually 99 cents! There are items with a different price tag on them. However, being that almost everything is only a buck, its a go to place to grab little things like envelopes or gift bags. I don’t buy food here since I’ve seen some things that are almost expired and still on the shelves. But my mom did buy cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions here that looked fine.
It always seems like there are things everywhere in the store and some don’t belong where they are but the employees can always tell you which isle to find whatever you are looking for.

I hate coming to this place.
Dirty, unorganized, merchandise everywhere.
Reminds me of Walmart near my area.
Only time I come here is to buy Water (3) 24 packs for 7.99 Niagara water

I love this place! They have amazing wrapping paper & gift bags! They even have produce, amazing !!! Parking is always easy. I’m taking a star off because one employee, older lady, she was very rude & didn’t want to help me find the items I was looking for. Also I called & asked what time they closed & they had told me 11, but when I got there at 10:30, the same last told me that they were closed already.
Other than that, this place is great !

Another excellent 99 Cents Only location!
plenty of easy parking, huge store, well kept, descent staff.
You never know what you will find here, I usually come here for cleaning supplies or small stuff, but always walk out with great name brand items, sometimes organic, that retail much more in stores.
You don’t always get lucky, but if they stock something you love, stock up, you never know if they will carry it again.
All locations have the same staple items, the extras depend on location and availability, worth checking out if I have some spare time.

This 99 cent store is pretty big and carries a lot of items. Sometimes, you’ll be surprised because you can find pretty good products here.
Parking is pretty rough because it’s compact and it’s in a busy plaza. I like going to this 99 cent store because it’s in the same plaza as many other stores that I like.
TIP: Look at the expiration date before purchasing anything edible. I looked at some while I was here (or any other 99 cent store) and some expired already or was very very close to the expiration date.

The store has gone through a renovation and I think it’s pretty decent.
Parking lot can be better if it was re-​paved but I don’t think customers that shop here really care.
It’s a great place to buy last min things or shop around for things that you don’t need to get brand name. Not sure about some of the food they sell because of their expiration but hey it’s only 99 cents + tax! I’m surprised the things I can find sometimes there. You can buy condoms and pregnancy kits here lol.
There’s usually some really cute knick knacks for the holidays. I have to say the store should have a policy for parents bringing their kids. I’ve seen kids roam around and mess up the aisles.

alaway pack especially before closing. not enough employees. alway out of spinach. large selection. sometimes spend too much time in here. horrible packing, no one CAN drive. workers are alway cranky. only come here cause its the closest.

**Huge location**!!
**Short Review**~!!
~ Huge Location
~ Lots of parking
~ Still gives out plastic bags
~ Very few selection on baking mixes
~ Many items are expired or close to it so double-​check!
~ Lots of produce here
Not gonna write a review much because if you live any where near a 99 cents store, than mostly like you have stepped in to the store at least once. And even if you haven’t, maybe not such a good idea. As mom says, it can be a «dangerous» thing to use a cart, or even a basket. Buy only what you can carry. Sure mom. I rarely go by that rule but it seems like a logical rule if you don’t wanna break your wallet. I always come here planning to buy a couple of things but somehow I leave with several shopping bags.
Everything seems cheap! Toothpaste one dollah! Toothbrush one dollah! TP one dollah! Bag of mixed greens one dollah! Glass cups or plates or bowls one dollah! Kitchen utensils or towels one dollah! Bread or English Muffins one dollah! Baby Wipes one dollah! Greek yogurts one dollah! Cake, cookies, and muffin mixes one dollah! Pregnancy Tests one dollah! Plastic containers one dollah! Shampoo one dollah! Dove soap one dollah! Underwears and socks one dollah! Batteries one dollah! I think you get the picture but nothing in this store is more than one dollah! Oh wait, I lied. Milk is more and sometimes eggs as well. But other than those two things, everything is one dollah or less. Cup o Noodles and packaged noodles as well as candies are under one dollah!
If you haven’t stepped in a 99 Cent store, it’s worth checking out. But as mom says, it can be dangerous.
Thanks for reading! :)

I love this store especially around the holidays because they have pretty cute holiday knick knacks and décor that are just going to end up tossed or put away after the holidays anyways so getting a bargain makes sense. I hadn’t been to a 99 cent store for a while but it is always fun and such a surprise to see what goes through these stores. They have tons of candy! What I was really shocked about was that they sell Abba Zabba candy right now. This is one of my most favorite of sweets and you can’t just find it anywhere so I was happily surprised. The only bummer about these stores is that if you see something cool you have to grab it right then because it might not be around the next week.
Right now they have a lot of cute Christmas stuff from candy bags to gift tags. I love this store around holidays also because it’s cool when you have to buy things in excess and your not completely breaking the bank. I also remember when my daughter was really little and everywhere we went there was some sort of Christmas pot luck where it was easy to at least pick up a cute Christmas tray that you knew you were never going to see again anyways. Same goes for Halloween.
Anyways you never know what your going to find in these types of stores. I couldn’t believe they also were selling diet 7 up in bottle form. I can’t always find that product in bottle form so I was stoked. The only thing about this particular store is the actual area around it is kind of hectic. The parking lot is very busy but this never really bothers me because I usually park on the side anyways where there isn’t as much hustle bustle. One more thing I like about this store is that it is also great for gift bags especially when there seemed to be a birthday party every weekend when my daughter was still in grade school so this place was a life saver for that type of thing. This place is worth checking out and it can be fun!

In front of/​Behind Brodard Restaurant in the same mall. After being stuff at Brodard we walked into here.
Compared to the Dollar Store in Northern California, this place was loaded with variety.
The «fresh» food wasn’t very fresh (then again who would by groceries at a .99 store!)

This place spells ghetto, but thats what I am all about. Its full of off brand sketchy food products but if you need disposable cleaning equipment, plates, and utensils. then this is perfect.
Its in the middle what my fam calls «vietnam» and we just went here after dinner. It was a nice size store for a stroll after dinner. You’d be amaze by the crap they have here…

VERDICT: Not so clean store, stocked items all over the floor and shelves
QUALIFIER: Perhaps I just stopped in near end of day/​weekend
FOOD: I never trust from here though…
SERVICE: Patient and fast, friendly cashiers

Cool place for me to find some cheap gifts for my students. Because everything is here cheap, it’s also pretty filthy in here. I always want to take a shower after going in. Oh, if you plan to buy food products here, please be be be be be be really really really really really really careful. Last time I was here, I saw strawberries with molds in it already. I also saw milk that were either expired or expiring the day of. Yaicks!
Bottom line, buy things you do not plan to eat here, and that’s all you should buy here.
