99 Cents Only Stores

Does 99 cent store you will not pay $ 0.99 you’ll end up spending about 10:20 dollars so much things to choose from so many great deals why would you not to get but a whole bunch of stuff if there is a lot and a lot of items for $ 0.99 but you do not pay $ 0.99 because there is so many great deals here

I only came in for a few items. The selection was poor and when I got to the front of the store there were long lines. So I had to wait a long time. I was on my way out of town and decided it would be quicker to wait than to try to find another store.
So I’m judging the store based on one shopping experience. I don’t plan on going back, however.

Went to the store to buy 2 four packs of cream soda and a few other items. The cashier named Daniel scanned each can causing me to be over charged by 6 four packs. I asked why was he scanning each can. His reply was that each can cost 20 cents. I told him that no one else scanned each can as each four pack is 99 cents plus crv and tax. He said it doesn’t work that way. I gave up and told him to continue. I could not see the manger because I had to park in a no parking area as the lot was full. After arriving home I looked up the customer service number online. I called and spoke with Carla and explained what happened. She told me to take the sodas back with my receipt for a refund. Luckily I got a disabled parking spot in front of the store. I explained what happened to the store manager who told me that Daniel was new. I got a refund for 6 four packs. I told the manager that I hoped this doesn’t happen to anyone else. The new cashiers need better training is what I said before leaving.

There is nothing wrong with shopping here! You find some of the best deals in items and find that they sometimes carry brands you never thought such store would carry. Yes, it can be so messy sometimes but the things you find here are so reasonably priced and useful!
Parking can sometimes be a challenge and so is waiting in a long line to get checked out. Otherwise, it’s a great store, especially for last minute purchases.

This is one of those don’t judge a book by its cover stores. It’s a little old, the parking lot is small and cramped, somebody is always outside asking for money, and it’s not as big as others. Nonetheless this is my go to when I need certain things for cheap, even though there is one closer to home. I always end up finding some kind of hidden treasure good deal when I shop here too. I avoid coming on the weekends because lines can get long. Best days for me are early morning weekday, they are fully and freshly stocked. You have to bring your own bags here also, and cashiers are always pleasant.

This is the only .99 store that I know of that charge you for the bags, this is a small store, Items on the floor, kind of messy in difference section of the store, long lines making me jump from line to line and going nowhere, definitely will not come back to this one. Oh make sure you always check the Expiration date on all produce.

Cassandra Henderson is such an awesome cashier. I love this store. The Assistant Manager, Ms. Moses, was very nice, professional and quick to resolve the situation. I really appreciated that.

This used to be my «favorite» 99 Cent Store because it was always so clean and all of the employees were so friendly, but the quality of products and services have both declined significantly in the last year. I don’t really frequent this spot anymore. Especially not since a lot of the items are now more than 99 cents! I thought that was the gimmick of the 99 cent store? Apparently not anymore. It is understandable that they can’t sell gallons of milk and dozens of eggs for 99 cents (although they used to sell a dozen eggs for 99 cents), but charging almost as much as the regular grocery store seems a little redundant to me. I am not one to purchase perishable goods from the 99 cent store on account of a bad experience with something old which made me sick, but my sentiments remain the same. I stop here for household things like aluminum foil and trash bags, and to replenish my snack drawer at work. A hungry legal secretary is not a happy legal secretary.

This 99 cents store has only gotten dirtier with time. Skid marks all over the floor and the front is generally a mess. But at the end of the day everything is still the same price.
A plus I’ve noticed is that they carry a bunch more produce than before. I walked in to find fresh avocados, bell peppers, and beautiful lettuce.
I also noticed fad items like plastic bottles with built in straws. When you take into account those things are around $ 9.99 at places like Target… Finding them in the 99 cents store is a steal!
The staff is generally overworked and not too cheery but not rude by any means. Pretty standard for places like this.
This particular location has an issue with available check out lanes. They usually have two at the most open. So if you’re in a rush it might be a wait at the cashier.
There’s a private parking lot and a bunch of food establishments near by if you haven’t eaten or plan on grabbing food to go.
Bottom Line:
Cheap candy, cleaning supplies, household items, and much more available! Great location and private parking available.

Isn’t it supposed to be 99 cents ONLY? So tell me why I just paid $ 1.49 for pictures frames that weren’t worth that much.

They advertised a sale for eggs, a dozen for 99 cents on Thursday only. So I went over and couldn’t find any. I asked one of the cashiers and she said they didn’t receive a shipment for the sale, and wouldn’t get any until the next day, Friday. I asked for a raincheck, and she said they didn’t give out rainchecks. OOOOOOKAY. I sent an email via their website and was basically told ‘SOL.’
So keep that in mind the next time you peruse one of their ads.
Also, their produce section in an abomination. Most of it was half rotten, and of course it was messy and disorganized, and was most of the store. Boxes blocked aisles and only one register was open. And of course most of the products were generic brands. No bueno.

Looks like they have the worst manag.
I’ve been coming to this store for 11 years I live close by and this store it’s getting worst every day.
Now I’m going to have to go to another store.

This store is what it is, a discount store. Not too many high end things here. The things we usually get here are air freshener and awesome. Awesome is some kind of cleaner that cleans everything out there. We have been using it for years.
If you never tried it, try it out on a couple of stains and watch it disappear. The store is still a little shaky at times with product but it has what I need so that is why I come

Visited the store today for some staple household items and the cashier on line 1 forgot to pack four of my items into my bags. Two hours later after arriving home I noticed the error and returned to the store for the items after calling twice and no answer. I arrived and explained that the cashier did not pack 4 of my items and they should be at register lane 1. He said wait let me check and walks to the back of the store. I waited 10 minutes and he finally returned to say it was ok to retrieve the items. I asked if the items were still at register 1, he explained that he didn’t think so but go back in the store to get what I need. Wowwww really, the cashier forgot and my items are not still there just in case I returned so now I must go back and retrieve them.
Worst service ever but hey it’s the 99 cent store they are not customer centric

I have a 99 cent store basically right down the street from my house. That 99 cent store is large, clean, well-​stocked & employees are on the ball. This is how I judge all other 99 cent stores. If this one can do it, why can’t others?
I was in the area of this store yesterday (05-​11-​2013) and wanted to pick up a gift bag and tissue paper for a card I purchased at CVS several minutes earlier. I pulled into the parking lot and immediately noticed the people who were shopping here and before I walked in the doors I knew what I was in for. I knew what I was in for before I even got out of my car by cars driving through the parking lot with no regard for people walking through the parking lot and/​or vehicles pulling out of parking spaces. Everyone seemed like they were in such a rush. When I finally found a safe area to park my vehicle I parked and began walking toward the front doors. The parking lot itself has cracks and potholes everywhere that looks like they have been there awhile hence the weeds growing out of the cracks and holes. I have no one to blame but myself for ignoring the warning signs and shopping here anyway.
I walked in the front doors and immediately noticed the smell; the store smelled like someone was smoking cigarettes in the A/​C ducting. The entire store smelled like an ashtray. If that wasn’t enough it was hot and I mean hot inside of this place. It was hot outside and I guess this 99 cent store is trying to save money on the electric bill by not turning on the A/​C, I know I was hot and witnessed several other customers fanning themselves as they walked around and/​or stood in line.
I found a bag and began my journey to the cash registers. After waiting in line for a few moments I decided I could not take the smell or the heat anymore and placed my objects down and left without purchasing them. Later that night I went to the 99 cent store by my residence and there was a dramatic difference in smell, heat & cleanliness.
There is ZERO chance I ever come back to this location. I do not care if they were giving stuff away. To me this 99 cent store echoes what a majority of Long Beach is to me, an area I do not want to be for any reason. When you get disgusting people shopping at your store there is not much you can do about that because given time your store will become disgusting and this is exactly what happened.

This 99 Cents Only Store location is in a part of Long Beach known as Bixby Knolls, supposedly one of the nicer areas of town. What’s interesting is that Bixby Knolls is located adjacent to some not-​so-​nice areas of Long Beach. This store is in a nice neighborhood, however.
This location is one of the bigger stores with a wide array of merchandise. They even have a small grocery section at the back of the store selling such items as fruit and vegetables (pre-​packaged) and dairy items like milk. They also sell various household items like cleansers and detergent, personal care items, books, various small electronics, cooking tools, candy, cookies and other snacks — and the list goes on. All the items sell for 99.99 cents (which rounds up to $ 1.00), except for the gallon jugs of milk, which sell for $ 2.89.
This store is clean and well organized. The last time I was here, there were only two checkout lanes open and both of them had long lines (sigh!).
The parking lot has limited parking available directly on the Carson Street side of the store, but there are more spaces available beside the store on the Orange Avenue side.
As Louie B. mentioned, there is a lady sitting outside the store entrance/​exit asking passers-​by for donations to some kind of cause. The store management seems to be OK having her parked there all day long. :-/​
Since this store is in the city of Long Beach, it’s a VERY good idea to bring your own reusable shopping bags before entering the store.

When I went they had really long lines and nobody making a jump to fill up the other check out counters so that wasn’t to great. Another odd thing I noticed was that had a sign that said open 9 days a week. I am not sure if that was a joke or the 6 was turned upside down or what but that is a bit off.
This place does have just about everything from Organic Foods, Frozen Foods, Household Accessories and all sorts of random stuff in the isles. I purchased a toy for my dog and a can for cleaning supplies. The total bill was $ 2.17 so those items were actually 99 cents. It bothers me when I go to a 99 cent store and the prices are all over the board.
There was somebody outside asking for money and she was set up with a chair and it looked like the store was OK with her being out there. I already do my charitable donations so I am not looking to get hit up after I am done shopping, ESPECIALLY at a 99 cent store. Other than the long lines, weird sign and person outside I would have to say this is one of the bigger 99 cent stores around and they have a ton of stuff.

Located near St. Barnabas Church and Pete’s Burgers. The store almost everything you possibly need for 99 cents. Just be careful what you buy because the quality is only as good as how much you pay for it. For example, I bought a screwdriver set to fix glasses and that mess didn’t even move the bolt. They also sell food and produce but always remember to check the expiration date. Blockbusters also is trying to stay alive by placing a Blockbuster Express machine, which is essentially a Redbox, in stores. Overall, I would come back again for any essential needs that I’m not willing to pay for $ 4 at Target.

A good store to get something for 99c!
This 99cents only store is getting better! The selections are more decent than before. You can also get good food brands and goodies!
I used to come here a lot. because it’s fun to shop for 99cents. but I got tired from it and I feel like this location is getting a ‘lil ghetto now…
–2 STARS for random people outside asking for $.

The 99 cent only stores lure me in like a damn junkie fool and then proceed to empty my pockets like a Las Vegas slot machine. But i love it.
As I drive by my mind goes «oooooooohhhhh…99 cent store, ooohhhh»
I always go there for 1 or 2 things in mind and end up leaving with a basket full of everything. Milk for a buck, celery for a buck, broccoli for a buck, cranberry juice for a buck, energy drinks for a buck, dish soap for a buck and the list goes on and on and on and on. And this is all decent stuff, not broken or old or rotten. All my friends and family make fun of me cause I shop here so for their birthdays and other occasions, I always make sure I include a genuine 99 cent store only blow up ball with their gifts.
