You figure all 99 Cent Stores are about the same. They aren’t. There are three in the immediate area, and this one is the worst. They seem to have less selection than the others: Things that you assume a 99 cent store will carry might not be here. The staff is rude, and very little help(«It’s in the back somewhere!»). They seem put out by questions, and the guy at the front door jumps at you like he assumes the customers are all thieves. And the prices are a bit higher than the others, so that’s strike three. I come here if I can’t find what I want at the other two.(One is just is little bit East on 125th, and the other is around the corner on Amsterdam, BTW.) It isn’t likely that I WILL find it, since they don’t have much selection, but it’s POSSIBLE, so I check. They very seldom have it.

Really grateful for having such a store near my home and satisfies my need with attractive price! From my perspective, C-town can offer daily food/fruits, and in 99 cent shop, you can find numerous endurable goods, including bakery prep, carpets, decorations… Just love it!

I have a great love of 99 cent stores. I’ve gone as far as hop on the train to get to my favorite ones. Here’s why… I needed some latex gloves and petroleum jelly. Don’t ask. I went to CVS and all they had was a colossal box of gloves for a whopping 9 bucks. I didn’t need that many gloves. And the petroleum jelly was oddly priced. The smallest container cost more than a larger one outside of the First Aid aisle. Nice way to gouge injured people, CVS. So, screw that. I decided to go up to Harlem to find a decent 99 cent store. And here it is. It’s not huge, but it’s well equipped. They even have a large selection of aluminum foil takeout containers and pans with covers. Nice for a church social. Instead of spending $ 14+ at CVS, I spent a total of $ 2.92 for exactly what I needed. 99 Cent Stores will always have a special place in my cheap, cheap heart.
