Deals

Recent visit here revealed that this store is now a Dollar tree? .Everything was moved around and replaced with much lower quality products. sad, used to be a fav.

This store have great deals and cheap products but the customer service is horrible. Is the second time that DOM in the register attends me and it should be DAMN! She’s very unpolite (not even a Hi or Thank You) and careless while scan and packing the items.

The manager can be pretty rude for no good reason. But I have found the cashiers are nice, and I’ve never had a problem with any of them.
The deals in the store are pretty good but a few items aren’t really cheaper than what you can find somewhere else, it’s just a few though.
Overall it’s a decent discount store but the rude manager is enough to not go if you don’t want to deal with her. And when I mean rude it’s like a friendly hello will set her off.

My first and last time in this place. I found what I was looking for — an old school item for my travel kit — but the cashier didn’t know what she was doing and called the manager over a bunch of times. Two people in line behind me just left their stuff on the conveyor belt and walked out. When the lady in front of me started fussing with the cashier (who literally could not count change without assurance), a few of us groaned. Instead of just ringing the lady up, though, she started making rude comments to me that she’d take two days to count the change.
A few more of us left and I stopped to speak to the manager. She was just rude and tossed everyone’s merchandise to the side. Why bother with such a place? The manager seemed pleasant enough but wasn’t sure what to do with her increasingly rude behavior. A shame to have such prime real estate in the area but not hire polite and competent employees.

I never really noticed the Deals location until one day I decided to walk towards 30^th ave. Intrigued by the large red sign that said «Deals», I entered and was satisfied with what I encountered. A nice gentleman is there to open the door, which already sets the mood for a welcoming environment. With the word «Deals» in mind, I assumed I would be getting something good in return and I assumed correctly. The prices for the items that were being sold were extremely cheap and the majority of those items were of decent quality. I recommend anyone who is in need of something and not willing to pay as much to give Deals a shot. The store sells food (junk, frozen, dry etc), detergents, towels, toys, school supplies, shipping supplies, personal hygiene care, and much more! For those who don’t know where it is, it is on the right side after exiting the Broadway N and Q station, on the same block where Parisi Brothers Bakery is located. Have Fun Shopping !

This store was a mess. The people are rude, i will never return to this store. I think there’s another one close to Astoria near northern bkvd. Better service there guaranteed.

I love this place. Its a chain, theres another on steinway that i frequent as well. Most things aren’t mot than $ 5, & a lot are $ 1. From decorations to balloons to glassware to phone charhers, they have a lot of variety for the cheap! I usually end up buying somethingbi dont *really* need like glowsticks or stickers… or an excessive amount of wine glasses. who am i kidding? There can never be an EXCESSIVE amount of wine glasses.

This store has almost everything you can imagine and the prices are very good. Party supplies, household equippment, even food, you name it. You can buy those without second thought. However, when it comes to clothes, sheets, or anything in that department… the quality is the worst! Ripped T-​shirts hanging from hungers! The brand new sheets that were packed in nice brand new packages had stains that cannot go away, no matter how many times you wash them! They also smell funny! What’s going on? Do they take used items and they packed them selling them for brand new? I have bought clothes there many, many times and out of experience I would say that 3 out of the 5 clothing items may be defective. Buttons missing, stains, even ripped with holes! The guy who is at the door gets very annoying when you enter the store holding a can of soda or eating something, but when you want to return a stained shirt or a T-​shirt with holes on it he treats you like a trouble-​maker or a crook who tries to cheat, like you stained them or ripped them and now you pretend you found them like that! He even curses and when he finally takes the returned items back and refunds you, then he treats you like he did a favor to you or like you are an annoying begger or bum and he may even say“bit it!” But as I said, the main thing is: beware of the old stuff they sell as new! It reminds me of a thrift store rather than a disount store.

Deals is a great store… Every time I go in there
Jimmy, Assistant Manager will always help me… I went in
last Sunday and Jimmy no longer works there that is very sad
to hear he is the only one that would go the extra mile for the customers.
There was and employee (she was new-​Kandu or Namu) I think this was her name
she was rude and abrupt because I wanted to return an item and told me
I had to come back because I did not have my receipt I shop in Deals
every single day. Jessica is also very RUDE
It is really SAD to FIRE Great EMPLOYEES like JIMMY.
Jimmy was a great ASSET to DEALS… he was very helpful and the only
helpful employee there. I will NOT be shopping at DEALS on Steinway Street. The
Deals in Woodside –people are much nicer and extremely helpful like Jimmy.
I hope the DEALS Entrepreneurs read this review.

Talk about thorough! It has a million deals and lives up to its name. I thought my cashier was such a happy soul. It has soy milk and almond milk as well as Quaker oats all marked down. I saw tins of herring, sardines, tuna, and even pizza crusts for a dollar or $ 1.50. Prices are really low. I would totally come back. Why pass up on all these wonderful sales?

One of my issues with the locally owned dollar store is the icky feeling I have when I go inside. They are often the land of junk the world forgot. I start to feel sad about all the natural resources and human labor that went in to making some of the ill conceived crap that lines the walls. The point of a dollar store is to make me feel great about the deal I just scored and the ease in which I popped in to buy the household necessity I actually needed. Does Deals offer low quality goods that you probably could live without? Sure, but the selection seems better curated and less useless and/​or crappy. Deals is part of the Dollar Tree family of national stores if that rings a bell for anyone. I like to purchase household items like paper towels, toilet paper, cleansers, soap, hair products, and (believe it or not) a really great chicken boxed chicken broth that is MSG and gluten free. I still feel like a traitor carrying my deals bag past the locally owned store, but without that icky «the world is a ball of decay» feeling.

Great deals, I guess that’s why the name of the store is Deals.
I love & hate coming here, because I always come here with a set amount of money to spend but I ALWAYS go over that limit. You can find just about anything is here. I have been waiting square dinner plates for a while and she shocked to find that they sold them here and for only $ 1.00. The quality of the plates were very good for such a cheap price.
The staff can be a little unprofessional but they are nice, friendly, and talkative to customers. Which in my opinion is a good thing.
Sometimes the store is a little disorganized but that’s to be excepted with the amount of people that shop here. It maybe be a little disorganized but you can definitely find what your looking for.
I also like that they sale mostly name brand products for less.

This is probably the best Dollar store in the area.
Forget the 99 cent stores on Steinway; here you can get a four pack of toilet paper rather than the single rolls at those other places, sure it might be a little more money but 4 rolls as opposed to one is worth it.
They also carry a large variety of items and even some name brands to boot.
paper towel/​plates/​cleaning supplies/​random fun things= this is the place to go

I think I have a love-​hate relationship with this place and struggled whether to give them 3 or 4 stars, but I think I’ll give them the edge on this one.
The Good: Basically everything you need under a tight budget, ranging from toys (albeit pretty generic quality and potentially carries lead… jk) to $ 1 cards to candy to canned foods to frozen dinners to toiletries. This is my pit stop whenever I need to restock on items or for household products like pots, toilet paper, etc. The deals they offer on their products are AWESOME! I usually pay $ 5 for 12 rolls of toilet paper and get the $ 5 frozen chicken breasts package. They also have some really good frozen wings and chicken strips which I’ll occasionally buy. They have great deals for boxed pastas as well that I capitalize on from time to time.
The Bad: There is not a lack of variety in the products they offer, but all are mediocre, especially the ones that are not brand-​name, though that should obviously be a given. I got some mouthwash one time and it was pretty horrible tasting and failed to leave a minty breath in my mouth. But hey, I get what I paid for.
The Ugly: The service here is probably what gets me each time. There aren’t too many workers around, and helpful ones are even harder to find. Usually they operate the check-​out lines EXTREMELY slowly and even when there are a couple people lounging around doing nothing, they don’t open up another line when the check-​out lines get super long. Even when it’s obvious they should be working faster, they just lackadaisically place items in the bags as though they were bored instead of getting paid to do a job.
But I still award 4 stars because I think they have a wide range of supplies for a great price. I’ll continue to come here for my daily essentials!

This place is pretty handy. You get a bunch of everyday stuff for really cheap prices.
Throwing a party? Shot glass packets, disposable plates, cutlery etc. are all $ 1.
Wanna take a dump in comfort? They have soft toilet seats for $ 5.
Need to get rid of that impossible piece of meat stuck in between your teeth? $ 1 for dental floss.
They have all kinds of random items that you can buy on the cheap. You can even get a bed sheet set for $ 10. Don’t expect Egyptian cotton though.
I bought a couple of birthday cards and they ran me a whopping 50c each.
It’s basically a $ 1+ store with most of the items in the $ 1 range. Definitely worth checking out.

Deals is a a great asset to this neighborhood where you can buy items such as toothpaste, laundry detergent, or some pasta for a dollar. As a dude living on a budget, this place is a God send. I shop there weekly and usually pick up my bread there, my English Muffins as well as other odds and ends that I need to get here. The only problem I have with this store is I feel like there are never enough staff present to run this store. I’m not saying that there are long lines in the checkout aisle, rather that there are boxes upon boxes of stuff that are just sitting there waiting to be unloaded. If they just increased their staff a little bit, this place wouldn’t be so cluttered. But despite this, you can save a lot of money by shopping at this place.

Deals is awesome! Everything is here to have a party, furnish an apartment, clean anything and everything, school supplies, make-​up, all kinds of grooming items and toiletries, toys, and food… I was here on Saturday and got a large set of good quality plastic food storage containers, a cute pink storage bin for my daughter’s room, some Renuzit airfresheners and some valentines stuff for super cheap!!!

This place is great for what it is!
They carry a wide variety of things you would expect to find in a discount store. Stationary, cleaning supplies, soap, frozen food, seasonal items, etc. with a few obscure 99 cent store type items thrown in. For example, I got two of those paper toys that grow crystals when you add the solution to the plastic tray for a dollar each. I haven’t seen those since the 90s! Perhaps I am easily amused, but this sort of thing makes me happy!
There are a bunch of discount stores in the area and here is how I would rate them:
Home Mark 99 Cent Store: this is giant store that’s kind of like a mixture of a 99 cent store and a cheap close out store, though the prices on some items are inflated. You have to dig. It has a 99 cent store vibe but is the size of a supermarket and if you’re looking for a basic, random, cheap thing (hole puncher, bubble mailer, key covers, hammer, coloring book, etc) this is a good place to try. They also copy keys.
Family Dollar: this is a chain store and it’s kind of like a tiny, less expensive Kmart. It’s clean and the prices are very low. They carry a smaller selection of pretty much everything you would find in a store like Kmart.
Deals: Family Dollar meets Odd Lot. It’s clean and carries brand name stuff for cheap, including the things you’d find in Family Dollar. There are also random bizarre things thrown in, such as the crystal growing toys I mentioned above that make shopping in this place pretty fun!

Being from the South and living in New York you miss the Dollar Store but Deal$ is my Dollar Tree on crack! Deal$ has blown Dollar Tree out of the water. Why? There’s a frozen aisle in the back! I got a bag of chicken tenders for a $ 1! I’m so happy. They even have milk and eggs in the back as well.
I know the food items are not quality but if you’re on a budget or need to make a bundle of food, it’s such a great option.
Not everything is a dollar but everything is very discounted. Like cleaning products for under $ 5 and shampoo for $ 2! And they say you can’t buy cheap things in NYC! Ba!

everything!!!
Okay, we all know about «99 cent» stores, do we not? Almost nothing is 99 cents, if anything! So, what’s the dealy-​yo with DEALS? 95% of the store is $ 1.00! Whether it’s food items, party stuff, animals what-​nots or STUFF, Deals is the Store! I came home with 5 bags of Deals deals and for only $ 35!
I know, I know! Tell me about it! Actually, I’m telling you about it! Try Deals for the best of 99 cent store stuff for $ 1…go!
No really, GOOOO!
