99 Cents Only Stores

Horrible customer service. I don’t care if your shopping at the 99 cent store or at target, you should not allow your customers to be treated with such disrespect. Then when I asked for the manager I waited over 10 minutes for him and then when I asked his name at first he couldn’t tell me because he doesn’t speak English. Then he said his name is Farruk.

I have been doing the 99 cents store research lately, some of them are well stocked and at 99 cents? Come on, you cant beat it There are changes and differences in the stores though. some rate 5 stars oyhers rate 3 stars. Thia is a 3 atar store.
Some stores are also like SUPER STORES where they have 3 – 4 times the merchandise. I prefer those…
Also, in case you have not noticed some items are now as much as $ 2.99 so double check the prices and of course in Sacramento you need to bring your own bags or pay for a bag??? I have bags in my. Ar but just did not buy more than i could carry, i will not be paying for bags.

Cheap prices that is pretty good value, I sometimes come when I want to buy candy or food and even chips way cheaper than in other stores

Ok so this store has alot of great deals if you are willing to walk every isle and stay focused. The problem is its impossible to only spend $ 1. I think it should be called the $ 20 store. (LOL)
They have a great selection of produce and you can find organics in alot of areas. They now have a $ 1.99+ section

I’d give negative 5 stars if it was possible.
The store was packed and my elderly, disabled mother got in line.
After standing there forever, the young skinny white girl with bad acne informed my mother that she was closed and she’d have to go to the back of the other line.
My mother did this… and then waited in a line of about 15 people in the other lane. Then the acne faced girl decided to start telling all the people who were lined up AFTER my mother that she could take them.
This is why people don’t want minimum wages to be raised… some idiots don’t deserve what they get now.

I enjoy shopping here very clean, well stocked and organized.
I have always received friendly customer service here.

This store is great!
I love coming here because I am always surprised to find so many things that I buy at other stores for more than 99 cents!
For example today’s finds:
Dish soap (palmolive)
Tooth brush (Colgate)
Nail polish (nuance from Salma Hayek) loved it btw!
Lint roller
Fabric Softner
(Huge pack of bobby pins
Essie nail sticker (these were $ 1.99)
The store is clean and well organized.
Minus one star for not having enough cashiers. Usually have to wait a while to pay.
But I love saving $$$, so I will continue to shop here: D
Ps: you should try the coconut chips, they are delish!

This 99 cent store is awesome!!! They have the best stuff! The manager is so friendly and so are the workers. They have name brand items that I usually spend $ 5 on! I go to many 99 cent stores and this one is by far my favorite! The parking lot is a little rough around the edges but the store is worth it! Sometimes the selection can be hit or miss but trust me, it’s a good one!!!

Okay even though there are some (like 2) rude cashiers at this 99 cents store locations, I am still going to give this place 5 stars.
I’ve been going to this location for about 4 years now, and trust me when I say I’ve seen this place at its worst!
I believe that the store got a new management earlier in 2015 and boy this place cleaned up well!
New shelves, new cashiers, new carts, and wider walkways. The entire store looks so much cleaner than before.
My only complaint is that they always either have 2 or 1 cashier. They don’t always have enough cashiers to accommodate the volume of customers that they have.

I give this 99 cents store a one for its unorganized front lane. The employees were jumping in and out the lane helping another employees on a different register. I waited about 20 minutes to be rang up. There should a be a manager assisting the lanes rather depending on each other for the help.

Grocery portion of store is deceptively charging more than 99cents. Make sure to look at signs. Not much of a price difference between here and grocery stores at 0.99/lb for some fruits and vegetables. What is different is the quality – grocery stores select fresher items. As for milk and eggs, expect to pay more here than at grocery stores.

This is not the closest store to me, but then again, I don’t live close to any 99c only stores (they’re usually located in not the best neighborhoods). I come here b/​c it’s kind of on the way home from church and I stop by to see if they have fresh produce for less. Sometimes you can find organic salad greens that are still good for another week or two and then there’s also random items that are of good value. Produce and food wise, I have gotten 2 lbs bags of tangerines, pineapples, romaine lettuce, carrots, yogurt, and crackers here before. There’s a lot of great items but I think for whatever reason the SoCal and Bay Area stores get the best deals on brand name items first and then whatever else is left come up to NorCal/​Sacramento.
They recently started an area where everything is 29c — last chance types of stuff. I got my little one a set of plastic sand shovels and rakes in a bucket which usually would cost 99c here or at Dollar Tree, so it was a good value. They also had T-​shirts of all sizes for 29c, you really can’t beat that. I haven’t been able to find things like Silk milk and other brand name drinks and specifically organic milk that I have seen at other 99c only stores, so I think this location doesn’t get items that are as good as other stores, but overall it’s not a bad place to buy some food and other essentials.

I love this location. All the produce I’ve gotten from here have always been fresh. I notice if you come early in the morning there’s more things to choose from. I’ve gotten Silk Mocha Latte, Peaks tea, and brand name lunch meat during morning visits.

Gotta ding a solid star for the dead beat scummy «why don’t you go get a job brother» dude who hit me and another woman up before our feet even hit the pavement as we tried to get out of our vehicles so we could shop inside the store. His request: A cigarette. «Smoking is a luxury not a necessity & I don’t work to pay for mine so that I can support your habit» was my verbal message to him which sent him packing… Okay now onto this store…
I LOVE .99cent & $ 1 stores like a fat kid loves cake… Only I do… I am a bit of a connoisseur of them too and this one is one of the better ones even with the dead beat meandering dude out in the parking lot harassing paying customers…
SUPER CLEAN and well stocked which is one area that stood out to me and they had everything I went in for plus some things I added to my list once inside.
The cashier which was the only employee I encountered was SOOO friendy!!! So she gets an A+ just for that alone.
FRESH PRODUCE, DAIRY and lunch meats and sausages inside too. Big bags of fresh jalapenos for .99cents and fresh and crisp carrot chips and baby carrot sticks a staple in our home… OH and huge avocado’s too that were very fresh all for .99 each.
.99 cent stores are also the fail safe for the household supply of diet soda; Diet Pepsi is our poison of choice and when other stores are selling it for $ 2 each or more we can always replenish our stock for a buck and the taxes.
Not much else to write as this location stocks the basics and more and did I mention it was super clean? That’s the deal keeper for me and I’ll be back when down in the area…
Final Grade: A

I always forget about this place and then when I go in I’m always surprised by what I find. Surprisingly a lot of name brand things for $ 1 (Softsoap hand soap anyone?). And it’s huge. It can be a little messy, and the entry situation (with the checkouts 10 feet from the door with no clear walking path) is a little awkward. But it’s up there with the Dollar Tree, as far as dollar stores go.

Still like how you can get lots of stuff for a buck minus a penny. Got invitations, cards, basic kitchen items, aluminum foil, and even canned goods.

My favorite dollar store by far. It’s huge inside. The produce is fresh. They have everything! They carry my fav raspberry shortbreads. Mylar nylons but you are charged extra for helium. It’s also nice that there’s a huge window display they use to lure you in. Especially during the holidays. So if you’re a budget minded person, they have cookware, produce, snacks, drinks, meds, school supplies, decorative, kids stuff, campy stuff and Sunday papers for $.99!

I am a huge coffee fan so the $ 0.99 store has been a godsend to me for the past seven years. Looks can be deceiving and just because it advertises one ninety-​nine cents does not necessarily mean the stuff they are selling is junk, you can find quite a lot of diamonds in the rough if you are willing to look hard enough for it. I like their Flavor Charm hazelnut and Irish Cream flavor coffee creamers which they have been selling since 2004 and the Royal Pacific Chocolate Raspberry flavor coffee is an original and unique tasting coffee. It even tastes better than a lot of brand name coffees that I have drank over the years.
And if you are a fan of Mixed Martial Arts they are currently stocking up on King of the Cage DVDs and Quinton «Rampage» Jackson DVDs. I am more of a boxing fan myself so I don’t really watch much MMA but for only ninety-​nine cents you can’t go wrong. I love their Toblerone chocolate, too. The only minus is the waiting in the long lines. They only have two cashiers on any given moment when you are shopping there, even when is a long line of customers. So the waiting can be a hassle.

The place smells. Like some strange combination of ladies restroom, Asian market and bad ju ju.
I felt like I needed hand sanitzier after touching something.
Other than the smell and overall feel of the place, it isn’t bad. I don’t fully trust the produce here, but boxed and canned stuff I do. If it’s perishable I just cannot bring myself to buy it. But that’s my own hang up. Don’t let it stop you…
I’ve come here mainly for random household goods and boxes of Yoo Hoo. Buckets, tape, car was gel. etc. you get the idea. Overall, not bad, but I greatly prefer Dollar Tree over 99 Cents Only.

This store is my secret favorite place to pittle away $ 20. One might think this is just another typical dollar-​something store filled with crappy crap, but oh no, that is just not the case! There is definitely crap to be found, but there is also a lot of quality name brand food goods, produce, freezer goodies, household necessities, pet treats, garden items, etc. (I could definitely keep going, but you get the idea.)
Things are well organized, food items are not outdated, staff is decently friendly, and the store itself is clean. You can really find most things you’re looking for food wise, and if you don’t, there’s a Raley’s next door to finish up your grocery list.
My name brand score of the evening was a quart of Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream (and no, a quart is not that small container you’re thinking of… it’s bigger!) 99 cents for Ben & Jerry’s? Sounds like a fabulous cheap date if you ask me ;o)
