99 Cents Only Stores

Went in trying to make an exchange bought picture frame didn’t realize bottom had Crack the manager was rude said it was my fault would not make exchange.. Good reason not to shop there they do not care about customer service

MONEY SAVING ALERT! Yup, thats what youll get at this store, they are actually one of and only cleanest 99 cents store ive ever stepped foot in.
Their aisles are nicely stocked and very well organized just like the customer service they provide.
They are very well staff with employees spread throughout this huge store and the cool thing is, EVERYTHING is practically 99 cents!
Ive never had any problems or any reason to even complain about anything.
This store is definitely managed by the right person and the employees are very helpful and cheerful whenever you asked for their help.
As nuts as this may sound, the service and organization here is much better than Wal Mart and this is TRUTH.
Overall, a great place to pickup and new household items especially if you just moved into a new place and need to budget. They also carry pet items and automotive stuff as well as a good selection of groceries to cook up!

This is a good one~!
The people here are chill and helpful. Easy parking, and Open till 10. I will come back for sure.

I love the store. I love some of the prices. I just have to mark it down for being dirty and the fruit being old and moldy sometimes. Now that Walmart is next door, it’s nice to price compare, but parking is terrible.

I love this store. My husband teases me about shopping in the ghetto but I find some awesome things here. And I’m pretty picky so my treasures are always name brand. I’m not too worried about close expiry dates because we use them right away anyway. Sometimes the produce is a bit iffy but I just don’t buy it when it looks bad, but other than that, it’s one of my favorite stores! I love buying my holiday decorations here because they have a great selection and it’s all $ 1! I’m just a little bummed that Walmart opened up next door so now the secret is out and the store has been packed and now we have to fight for parking when it was never an issue before! also, the lines do get long and a lot of times are very slow but I expect it so I don’t come when I’m in a rush.

Impressed with the amount of food they have. I always grab some raspberries when I’m there. For some reason I always end up in the same lady’s line at checkout. I’m not sure of her name but she is always so nice to everyone. You can’t go wrong for the price and you can’t complain after all it’s only a dollar. As far as being clean every time I have been in there someone is cleaning. I shop here for things before I look anywhere els. They are always getting new food in.

Not the cleanest store, roof leaks, and store smells of garbage

My favorite 99¢ store, the people who work there are helpful, and nice, good deals don’t last long, my local 99, then on to wall mart.

Damn this one is crowded, hey they just opened a dollar tree on Oceanside blvd.

Wow!!! This place rocks. It’s a surprise when you find the national brands. The store is clean and tidy, and most of the time they are stocked to the gills. The reason I left off a star is that you see the transients and gang-​bangers there, but otherwise, it’s great to be there because you save soooooo much money.

How can you go wrong with a 99 cent store? Oh that’s right, buying useless junk just because it’s $ 1! But you know what? I still love it! They have some unexpecting $ 1 items here — like ketchup, strawberries, car & cleaning supplies. Of course there is a nice selection of snacks/​foods, and other household items that can’t be beat at $ 1! Love this store. Wish there was one in the bay area!

A great find with so many deals, a lot of the same stuff you can find in chain grocerey stores but for much cheaper. Do not be put off by the off brands, it tastes the same as national brands. Pass up the not so fresh produce, sometimes some of it can be putrid but it is still kept out so inspect it closely if you decide it is for you. I would really go for th canned or frozen or pre-​bagged. From dishes to laundry and dish detergents, you can find anything you want almost. Halloween candy is good but this my halloween headquartes? I think not. Still love coming here for school lunch stuff though. Also stear clear of the automotive fluids too, just trust me on this. Everything else is good stuff, most foods and dishes are great.

Driving down from L.A. & come to find that 5 South is at a complete standstill with traffic heading towards the first race at Del Mar! Oh-​I had forgotten never to drive around here at that time so I just got off and headed into Oceanside for some cheap gas. But on my way, I spied a 99 Cent Only Store and figured-I’m in da hood, so why not?
Happily, I am very glad I stopped here. This Oceanside store was spacious and spread out unlike the cramped National City and Imperial Beach stores. There seemed to be plenty of parking in this Oceanside strip mall. I was very happy to discover lots of boxes of those electrolyte drink mixes you add to your water bottles-​my son gobbles those down.
I was also thrilled to find those strawberry-​filled crêpe pancakes in the freezer! Bought them all. But like the other Unilocal-​ers said, forgot about the produce. It is bad news and not worth it when the selections are obviously seconds rejected by the chain stores. No thank you.
I might have gotten to this store in the middle of a hot weekend day but it was not crowded, the cashier was friendly and SPOKE ENGLISH and I must admit: the Oceanside 99 Cents store is the best one yet!

It’s a 99cent store… what more could you want?!! They have a lot of great finds. I come here for the candy selection, FRS energy drinks, and flamin hot popcorn (though they don’t always have it all). Friendly and helpful staff!

i found sambazon acai at this place
i bought 10 packages
forever in my heart
oh my!

I’m new to the area, I came here looking for cheap supplies for the condo I’m renting (dishwasher soap, hand soap, mop) and when I looked at surrounding area I was thinking… hmmm…should I get out of the car? I decided to go in because I REALLY did not want to spend $ 80 at target for what I could get at the 99cent store for only $ 15. I go in and I swear there were probably 6 hobos and 10 gang members in here… um scary. I dont know… I guess I expect more when right down the street the homes are over $ 3million.

There are some sweet finds here. On a scale of 1 – 10 the produce here is a 7. I’d rate some *other* national grocery stores around at 4 – 5 :/​In fact, this is where I go to get my bell peppers. I’m sick of getting them home, cutting them open, and finding MOLD or BUGS inside :/ (I work in produce so it’s got nothing to do with what I’m picking, it’s just poor quality product).
So where’d that final star disappear to? THE LINES. Gag me with a spoon! If you go after school/​work lets out the lines are just atrocious and I have yet to see more than 3 registers open at a time. :/​
My fav finds:
Arabic bread
ORGANIC produce (and non-​organic too ^_​^)
coconut WATER (though it’s sweetened)

There are some crazy finds here. Steven Segal energy drinks. 100% pure honey. Wheaties. Soy Milk, Vegan Butter, Vegan Russian Bread.
I have serious fed a group of 5 with two dollars of products from this store (1: spaghetti noodles and 2: «tomato sauce w/​mushroom».)
Recommends for and college students, punk rockers, or people who don’t want to support Wal-​Mart.
