99 Cents Only Store

Great store. Produce too! However it’s always dirty. Never mopped or swept. Great selection of gift bags. Not much else going on here

I’m kind of surprised that this place only has a 3.5 star rating overall. It’s such a great little discount store!
I started coming here this year, since I am fairly new to the Chandler area, but each of my experiences have been positive. They have loads of Christmas decorations in time for the season, which is great, because, who doesn’t love Christmas decorations for a dollar?! I also enjoy coming here to pick up little items, like tape or wrapping paper for gifts. I don’t ever buy food from here so I can’t say anything about that… but on behalf of the other products, I give it a thumbs up because they really do offer a lot for such a cheap price.

Love to shop here. very inexpensive useful goods. A great way to save money

This store has A LOT of stuff and lately, they changed the stores stuff with taller and bigger aisles. Undecided whether I like this or not, but I don’t know where hardly anything is anymore. I guess they did this so they could have more items to sells.
The floors need to be stripped and redone as it makes the store look trashy.
They moved the registers, which is not a big deal, but sometimes I wished that during busier times, they would have more cashiers. That is my main complaint, usually not enough cashiers.
There have been a few cashiers that are not too customer service friendly, but the last time I went in a few days ago, there was a new cashier and she was super friendly. Usually going to the Dollar Tree or the 99 Cents Only stores, we don’t get real friendly people, but it might be because they may not be getting paid much or something.
Anyway, they have a huge selection of stuff from food, to car things, to school supplies, to kitchen and different housewares, toiletries, etc. Just don’t expect great customer service.

This is probably one of the tidiest and least annoying dollar stores I’ve been to.
However, you really need to know what you went there for, otherwise you will blow your money on some really low quality stuff.
I would never buy the produce there, it looked a bit gross.
The staff barely acknowledge that you’re there, even at the check out. very cold and distant.
I did get a bunch of things there though, like some sunglasses that were very cheap (I only buy cheap sunglasses because I lose them as fast as I can buy them).
There are some great bargains to be had here, but you have to be a very discerning shopper that knows how to compare prices between different stores and can spot poor quality items.

I am 55 years old. I tried to purchase wine and they refused to sell it to me without showing my ID. I left.

You can’t beat additive-​free coconut water @ $.99/​can, when it’s $ 3 or so per container anywhere else.

When you’re strapped for cash… this is the place to go.
It is usually pretty crowded so put your big girl panties on and be patient.

My son-​in-​laws ONLY and favorite dollar store! It appears there are lots of items to buy for the house and they even have a deli section in the grocery part of the store!

There’s a lot of hidden gems to be found here.
You just need to be the kind of shopper that knows what to buy and what not to buy at this store. It’s an «it is what it is» situation. Don’t come in here with delusions that every product is a winner.
From time to time, they’ll have toys in here that are $ 6.99 at Target and ToysRUs. In those instances, I’ll get one of each kind for my kids.
It’s a great feeling to walk into a place and know that you can totally afford everything in there. Haha!

They have some sunglasses that seriously lasted a trip through the Salt River on a day trip. This is also after being dashed on some rocks. That was the purpose of our trip, to purchase items that we did not mind getting ruined. I also picked up some Marilyn Monroe sandals that are still in use as we speak and the graphic has not come off yet! YAY
I do not think I would purchase their produce or other fresh items. I know stores like Food City gets lower quality produce than say Safeway or Sprouts, so I can only imagine what kind of quality the .99 store receives. Besides it did not look very good anyway, everything looked old. They have tons of sauces and boxed food items. Aluminum balloons blown up are only a dollar each so you can give someone a bouquet of balloons for $ 10 and they are nice just like the regular store.
I came here to pick up supplies to make candy and rose leis for my sister’s high school graduation. I made everything for under $ 15, which included: two candy leis with really good candy, ribbon, clear cellophane wrap, Disney rattles and silk roses. She was the envy of everyone. They had a wide selection of cards, wrapping paper, ribbon and tissue paper. The store seemed organized so I will visit again.

I like this store it doesn’t have name brand stuff. Or food brands you have heard of but if your short on money or on a budget this is a good place to come I’ve never had a problem with anything I have purchased here so id recommend this store :)
