Discount Depot

This place has fantastic prices on all kinds of personal and cleaning items. Also they carry all of the organic and natural brands I use for cleaning such as Mrs. Meyers, Seventh Generation, etc.
The service and staff I love I go here frequently and will continue to use them. I highly recommend them to everyone I know. Shop LOCAL!

The name of this place is misleading. The term «Discount Depot» gave me the illusion that this store went with an everyday-​low-​price model of business (EDLP for those familiar with the CPG industry and retailer pricing strategies). It is no different from a CVS or Duane Reade. This store fits the same business model most stores have: Hi-​Low pricing. This means regular prices are generally nothing to ride home with, and this store generally depends on short-​term fliers with limited time sales… like most stores. I went in to check this place out, and I looked at soap, shampoo, body lotion. My brands were priced close to CVS prices, which, at least at CVS I accrue Extra Care Bucks (these items I looked at were not on sale in the flier on the window of this store and so I’m speaking to regular price). I saw some people on Unilocal mentioned Essie nail polish is priced well here… I hope that everything in their shopping basket was on sale, or that these people purchased the nail polish and left. This situation is an example of a «Loss Leader.» Stores that understand their ideal consumer can lure the consumer into the store via pricing that key item at a loss (or low margin) and so that consumer will think its a $$ saving experience. The goal is to make $$ off of you on other products to make up for it. I looked at my key staples and walked out with purpose and disappointment. Be VERY careful shopping here. Buy things you know are cheaper at that time and walk out, as that money you save can go towards so many better things elsewhere.

This place is awesome. It does look sketchy from the outside but it’s not at all. You can get so much here for a good price and I only come here for toiletries! Nice lil spot.

Ahh mom&pop store! We have been here a few times, usually just get a red bull or something small. But finally walked in and took a look at the store, a huge selection of home stuff (tp, paper towels, soaps, shampoos, beer, mini electronics etc…)
Not a bad selection for what you need quick!

great prices, veyr helpful and friendly staff :)

Pretty decent selection of home stuff, tool and gadgets etc. Prices mostly seem to be modest. My only gripe will be store layout and the crowded aisles, piled with merchandise

Pleasantly surprised to find the range of products that Discount Depot offers at relatively good prices. Sure, they don’t have the loyalty programs that others do, but that may be what keeps their prices down. Good customer service, Shelves aren’t designed for short people though!

Trust me, it only LOOKS like there are giant rats inside.
Once you actually go in, you’ll find some seriously great bargains in a fairly unshady setting. (See, e.g., Essie nail polish for five bucks a pop. Need I say more?)
