99 Cent Only Store

This place used be clean, but it’s now extremely dirty. They also sells spoiled vegetables and fruits, which they should throw away.

Horrible experience with the female manager today, Aug 19, 2015 at 5p. She doesn’t seem to know that customers spending $$$ is the only reason she even has that job. Enough said — as I will NEVER spend my $$$ in that store again. I GIVE MS MANAGER ZERO STARS FOR LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE CUSTOMER AND EXTREME RUDENESS AND ARROGANCE!!!

99 cent stores are oh so convenient. We were looking for minced garlic spice but they didn’t specifically carry that. I can kick myself for not picking it up prior when I did see it.
This 99 cent store is not located in a very good area. It in fact is next to the Arco gas station that we had to leave in a hurry or there could have been a fight that could have ensued.
It was the week prior to Easter Sunday so a lot of bunny plushies, Easter baskets and candy were all around! I even saw Ghiradelli chocolate sold by the cash register! I know that’s surprising.
We may or may not be back! It just all depends what we are looking for!

This location has it all from milk to eggs from soda to water. Also from pencils to bars of soap. However everything is really a dollar.

Nice to be stared down by a security guard while in the checkout line. Try getting a guard that is actually able to intimidate someone… we may not be in rancho murietta. But we are still your customers. Try telling you employee that.

this location has a lot of good stuff that can be sold out quick. all the pillsbury silverware got sold out in a quick swoop somehow. so did those bagels. wth. lol. dont u dare go after my energy drinks or the oatmeal that came in. i’ma find you.

Don’t like the new set up of the 99 cents store. The isles are too long, and the registers are ridiculously set up. Not a good well thought out plan. Also the registers are far from the entry way, one can easily slip out (if you know what i mean). Also lacks security, I have gone several times and no where to be seen! Other wise good deals but bad store display.

Well yet another place to get ur groceries nd house supplies at, pretty good idea that they carry so much more than in the past. Not much more to add that others have posted already other than its very convenient to just come in and get about 90% of your shopping done at one location rather than going from store to store trying to get all or your list done, and where else can you get your groceries for a dollar some even 2 for a dollar. I really have to say that this is one of my favorite stores.

Okay so as the official bargain shopper Queen I finally had the opportunity to shop this location n was rather apprehensive after reading the only other review for it…
My partner had been here without me earlier in the week n made one hell of a haul as the only other dollar store/.99 store that has been the best ever for our needs was back in Modesto n since I moved we haven’t found its replacement …
That was until I hit this one today… So it’s off of Watt & El Camino if comin from Watt n if coming off of Howe it’s smack dab damn near on the corner of Watt n Howe.
Here’s what I Loved:
Fresh Produce!!!
Yep made one hell of a haul on bags of fresh Serrano n jalapeño chiles, fresh red n orange bell peppers which were super fresh n crisp not spongy n only .50 each compared to $ 2 – 3 bucks each at say a Safeway or other monster mega store.
Baby Bella mushrooms. Scored 7 cartons as we’re heading out to a BBQ tomorrow n need to marinate n shish kabob um… Zucchini too! Bags of 4 med to lg sized for less than a buck. U just can’t beat it really… Only u can’t…
Plus 2 liter bottles of Pepsi for .99 each.
The store was super stocked n shelves near n organized as well and it was a clean store. I buy their generic Clorox clean-​up bottle spray cleaner n yes It is an addiction: I love bleach n the clean smell of it n save well over $ 2 a bottle by doing so verses the name brand n it works every bit as good too.
Cons :
Crappy class of people shopping here.
Period.
But in all fairness to the store what can u expect everything they sell is .99 cenTs or less so it’s going to attract some dead beats n low life’s… Which brings up a great point: just moved here n why do so many people wear their pants down around their thighs n knees?
Today was no exception as I watched a woman; yes a woman holding up her pants with one hand with her butt hanging out n juggling the shopping cart, screaming at her kid n unloading groceries all at the same time… (Errant question yes I know but I’m baffled by this trend or whatever in the hell it is)
Personally I won’t shop here after dark but as long as the suns shining n it’s day light out I’m saving my money n shOppin here ;)~
Final Grade: A
~ The End ;)

Omg. this location is super ghetto. People outside the store door trying to sell you illegal substances and other unmentionables (not cool!) Or panhandlers harassing you for money. Now for the store itself. It could use a cleaning, items unorganized and just scattered in different isles. The staff aren’t much help so don’t expect much with that situation. After looking around for a while I found most of what I was looking for but I can assure you I wouldn’t shop here after dark. Overall I would shop here if I’m in the area but location would not be my first choice. You’ve been warned.

There’s definitely better 99 Cent stores around and other dollar stores that have as good or better selection. This one is a little messy and suffers from being in a not so good location.

Believe it or not this is the bestt 99 cent store in sacramento. I used to live in the area and this is where i was able to do quite a bit of shopping they offer things you actually like here and guess what, for only a buck. Other than the people outside in the parking lot this is the place to go. I have never felf unsafe going to this location either. There is an Indian girl there who gives fantastic service to everyone including me it seems. I like when i walk into a store and employees are smiling. I would recommend going here before any grocery store. They have the same stuff as in safeway or savemart and at a more reasonable price.

if you like being accosted in the parking lot or being badgered for change or handouts, this is your place. Filthy inside with expired food and rampant thievery, definitely do not shop after dark.

My friends call me the dollar store queen… no really. They do! I love the 99cent store! I am frugal (Some say really cheap– but hey– potato potato) I’ve gotten some great finds here! Candle holders, picture frames, school supplies, holiday decorations, hygiene stuff, etc. The best part about this place is the food selection! (Oh man… I sound like a fatty!) If you are on a tight budget or a poor student like me, you can literally feed yourself pretty well on things just from this store! They have lots of fresh produce– and almost every time I am there– organic produce! As with all stores like this you have to watch the expiration dates and pkg info but it really is a great deal! I’ve gotten things here that I’ve paid 10x the cost for at other stores! You just gotta look! :-) happy shopping and frugality! oh… and did you know that there is an entire cookbook made specifically for items you can buy at this store?!

I love dollar stores in concept. It’s a pretty straightforward concept — everything is a freaking dollar! Unless it’s less! Party!
But not all dollar stores are equal. Not even all dollar stores of the same chain are equal. This one is one of the better chains, and one of the better locations of said chain.
They have food. Lots of food. Not just cans of food or packages of crap loaded with high fructose corn syrup, but actual food. Sure, a lot of the veggies and fruits are imported from China and Chile, but as long as you read the stickers and labels, you can come home with some pretty tasty deals.
There are a few things that I buy here regularly: soy chorizo (in the fridge section) Jolt energy drinks (the blue sugar free one tastes just like blue koolaid from the 80’s — there’s a new flavor to blue koolaid now, which just makes me angry… but I digress) canned soup, (they always have Andersen’s and Rivera) baking soda, sugar free candy, and socks.
Sometimes you get lucky and they will have cans of imported baked beans from England. Yay for authentic beans on toast!
Always always always read the labels and the expiration dates, but if you’re shopping on a budget, dollar store finds can be the best. Stocking stuffers, gift baskets, party favors… the use for dollar store purchases is endless.
Oh, just don’t go down there right before they close, because it gets a little scary.

I enjoy this place, especially since I’m on a tight budget. I buy toilet paper for 99 cents. I even went to Wal Mart to see if I could save money and the cheapest pack of rolls they have were still more expensive than the pack of 4 I buy at the 99 cent store. My only concern: don’t eat the meat, but go for disposable items, tupperware, pens, paper, toilet paper, shampoo, you’ll really save a lot of money for things you REALLY enjoy, like whiskey.
