Deals

I thought I wrote a review for Deals already. There really isn’t anything to say since it will soon be using the name Dollar Tree. When I was in line this week at the check out I over heard other customers talking about how they love Dollar Tree. I don’t think we have one here. Right now they are in the process of clearing shelves by marking stock down 25%. As they make progress it will be further reduced. The employees are already wearing green Dollar Tree shirts. I’ll try to get Unilocal to update to Dollar Tree. Stay tuned. :)

This place isn’t on Unilocal,and it really deserves to be, so I will be the first!
If you’re walking on 1^st Ave the place is pretty big the sign says «Deal$» and the name couldn’t be more accurate. It is basically a Dollar Tree with a slightly different name. You should know what to expect just from that.
The place is always pretty busy, due to the community it serves, but the reason you are here is for the deal$, folks. If you just moved to the area and you need hangars, plates, a pizza cutter, drying rack, etc. this place most likely has it and it is probably a steal of a price. When our can opener broke, this place was a convenient god send!
What do I love about this place? They have a great dollar candy selection, cheap snacks and cookies, spices, dressings, pasta, baking supplies, and canned goods, just to name a few that are really cheap. I normally get all my non-​perishables here because they are consistent and a great value. I bought a loaf of Pepperidge Farm Honey Oat bread for $ 1.50 yesterday. «I bet it was old and moldy» you say. It has a sell by of September 30^th, so it was neither and will be happily ingested by myself.
There are characters in this place and sometimes it is messy, but you get what you pay for. Don’t expect to hop in real quick, I honestly can’t get in and out in under 10 min. once I start looking around. The line can be a little long, but expect that and be patient, don’t go if you’re in a rush. No credit card minimum, just buy a quick snack on the run. Go here before you go grocery shopping and don’t pay inflated prices for the same stuff!

Not my favorite Deals location, but its okay. It is certainly not the worst. This is mainly due to the lack of organization the few times I went. This store is very easy to find as it located right on 1^st Avenue. Deals carries all of your typical discount values frozen food, shelf food items, personal hygiene products, toys, office supplies, and much more so pay the store a visit.

When I used to live in Midtown (Herald Square to be exact), Jack’s 99 Cent Store was pretty much my penny saver where I purchased all the household items I needed. Ever since moving to the Upper East Side this month, this place is my new ‘go-​to’ place for household items and basic living supplies. I love how most of their products range from $ 1 to $ 5 on most items. I mean two larges bars of Irish Spring soap for $ 1? YES PLEASE and Haagen Dazs Pint Size Ice Cream for $ 3.75? (Duane Reade sells them for more than $ 5) I’m SOO down. Not to mention, most staff here are pretty friendly and greet you and ask you if you need any assistance as you shop through the aisles. I like how this place is not just a place that sells products of unknown brands but they do carry brand name products as well. Today bought a bunch of stuff and total came out to only $ 31…if I shopped that much at Duane Reade, it could’ve come out to over $ 50.
Will definitely be back!
