Jack’s World

If you need anything, this store has it. Wide selection of kitchen and home essentials and a well stocked food market will help you in case you need something close to your hotel. OK prices make this store ideal for birthday or house warming gifts.

Jack’s World always has anything I want or need. I love this store because of it’s convenient location to my job but also because of the prices.
I go there for anything from food to shampoo to shower curtain liners. Love this place

My mom goes in there whenever she goes into Manhattan. Its actually pretty good, you can get anything you want for cheap there. The only thing is that you’ll come out with random stuff.

This store will do when I can’t find what I need at Deals! I found what I was looking for today with the help of a nice sales girl!
There’s not much to review about this discount store. It isn’t a dollar store. The prices are all over the place. I don’t often buy from here. Today i needed a kitchen gadget and did not want to spend a lot so it was the perfect store! I left spending only $ 3.00 plus tax. I was happy and got what I needed. Let’s hope the item holds up with continued use! I’m not sure what their return policy is. Probably don’t have one!
The store is hard to navigate. There are a lot of customers and merchandise is everywhere. i feel cramped and usually can’t wait to get out of there!
They have an upstairs too. The place is huge. I can’t remember ever going up stairs though. I’m sure it is larger merchandise. They carry a lot of electrical appliances and other stuff.
I saw a lot of people in there today for the holiday cards, gift bags, paper, decorations, etc. Now the shelves are full of Christmas things. Those items are a little more reasonably priced. I did get a gift bag for a dollar!
Enough said. It is what it is!

Absolutely disgusting… bought a bag of frozen broccoli for $ 2.99 — not cheaper than regular stores, but ALL ROTTEN after I opened the bag at home! Florettes were brown-​ish and sticky… so disgusting… how do you get frozen veggies to go bad like that?! Unbelievably bad management even for a dollar store.
I will never purchase food items here again.

Not too bad. Not too shabby. I used to balk at places like these because I thought they sold non brand name items or items past the expiration dates but this is not true. You can find milk, frozen vegetables, butter, dairy products, pre-​packaged items, canned food products, bread, even gourmet chocolate at much cheaper prices than can be found anywhere else. Once in a while, you’ll find a real treat. They have basic beauty supplies too (shampoo, facial cleansers, body lotion, sanitary pads) found at other stores (Duane Reade, Rite Aid, Food Emporium) but at reduced prices.
Wish I knew of this place sooner because it’s silly to buy the exact same items at much higher prices elsewhere. And an added bonus is if you live near the area, you get coupons ($ 1 off for purchasing $ 10 minimum) via mail which is not too shabby.
The lines can get long but the cashiers are speedy and professional. And during certain times of the day, the place is pretty quiet. I am a fan!

Jack’s is a haven in over-​priced Manhattan. My three year old daughter requested a pink themed party for her birthday. I had bought some supplies at Party City and my wallet was crying. I held off purchasing the plates, cups, forks, etc. I’m glad I did! They had various color disposable dinnerware for great prices. I also picked up some snack cups and a shower mat. You will leave here with the most random items!

This discount store is great, I come here often. This is a great place to pick up some necessities at a great price (even tho I’ve seen people walking out of their with very large bags, looking like they just finished grocery shopping). They sell a variety of things, from food to small furniture. Everything is always fresh at this location. But, if your looking for high end items, this is not the store for you.
This location is in the city, so parking during the day is very challenging. There hours are great, 7:30am to 7:30pm. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, so don’t be shy to ask where something is located.
As discount stores go, this is one of the better ones and I would definitely recommend it to other.
Happy Unilocaling :)

Well the good news, no more lines and pretty empty. Bad news it’s now just a ghetto version of Trader Joes. The days of value shopping are over, they’ve completely restructured and pulled the old bait-​and-​switch and driven up prices higher than whole foods for many items. Used to leave with bags of groceries, today left with 4 items. Bye bye Jack’s!

I’m a huge fan of Jack’s stores but I have to say this one wasn’t all that great. I usually go to the one on 41 St off Madison and its so much better and I feel they have more stuff which is odd since its a smaller store.
Its still a good place to come check out since they always carry fun cheap stuff.

When I first walked in it reminded me of a Bed Bath & Beyond with various home goods, luggage, chocolates, etc. at the front of the store. Working my way inside the store I could see that they have mostly anything here including cosmetics, beauty items, electronics/​accessories, hosiery, housewares, tools, party items, greeting cards, and the list goes on. I initially came here for random items — headphones and nail polish remover — and they conveniently had both and at reasonable prices. You aren’t necessarily getting a deal on everything you buy here (the headphones I got are retailed at $ 9.99 and that’s just how much I paid for them here), but the prices are not city-​steep and you may find some hard to find items.
Their personal care department is pretty extensive and low-​priced so I was happy about that (soaps, lotions, hair appliances, shampoos, etc.). They carry recognizable name brands at great prices.
The upper level is all food and beverages. They have nearly everything here, including baking items, snacks, bread, all types of refrigerated/​frozen foods, candy, oils, spices, and generic Ziploc bags. They have a huge boxed tea section with any flavor you can think of, many more than at a typical supermarket, and they are name brands!
I love coming here during my lunch break and perusing. I found this place much cleaner and much more organized than 99 Cent Dreams (or whatever it’s called now) a block away. Jack’s World carries basically everything PLUS much more than its sister store Jack’s 99 Cents Store also in Midtown, and it is much cleaner and more inviting.

I love this store a lot. When traveling I like to pack light. With this awesome store, I can do that and then buy what I need at Jack’s World.
I have told many people about the great store. I tell friends and people who will be visiting NYC more about this store more than any other store.
The prices are excellent. They are beyond excellent for Times Square. If you forgot to pack something or want a light snack, Jack’s World is definitely the place to go.
There are many items priced at $ 1 including snacks.
Many stores in the Times Square area charge ALOT for a small snack,
but Jack’s World really ROCK with their prices.
Jack’s World has a little of something for everybody.
GREAT prices especially for Times Square.

Great store when you need basics or don’t have the cash to spend a lot. They always stock Garnier make-​up remover wipes, which run more everywhere else, but are $ 1.99 here, so stock up! Also, they have some great staples upstairs in the food section: Twinings tea for $ 2.79, $ 1 bags of almonds/​cranberries/​peanuts, gluten free baking products, if you need them, and spices. Cold drinks for a LOT less than the deli. They have many name brands, but not tons of selection, so you just have to drop in and see what they have week to week. Why pay more?

Stumbled upon this after a binge at Xi’an, and did a whirlwind through it all. Love it! The most pimped out dollar store EVAH!!! And, if you hunt, some really great finds, including some gourmet food items for a fraction of the cost you’ll find them in other neighborhood grocers.
Cheap, though clean, well stocked, and well staffed.
WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN!!!

This place is super convenient for my job and personally. I get all my party supplies here (plastic faux solo cups for $ 1.99, etc.), candles for $ 0.99 — $ 3.99 for pillars, picture frames as gifts for less than $ 10 and a ton of holidays goods. Anything ranging from Halloween to Christmas to Valentine’s Day, this place has it all for CHEAP and not bad quality.
I also get my dish drying mats for less than $ 7 and recently also picked up some snacks to keep at my desk, significantly less expensive than at the deli just two doors down – SAME PRODUCT.
Some stuff I would recommend not picking up like anything you would like long-​term, like no name brand Tupperware, etc. Stick to the name brands for those.

I been lookin’ for some time, in a room full o’ pennies for my dime
Both locations sell knockoffs (primarily), but this tiny Bryant Square-​ish location is a knockoff of the other one. PS Mind the doors, which swing violently both ways.

Jacks is a Mecca for cheap items — pretty much anything and everything you could imagine and them some. They have things ranging from knockoff bags, candy /​food, drinks, kitchen utilities and way more. It is nearly impossible to come here for any reason and leave with less than 4 – 5 things.
I’ve gotten bags, wine stops /​wine vacuums, bathroom essentials and more here and have never set anything down for being «too expensive.» You know that feeling you get when you see something you want but think you can get it cheaper elsewhere? That doesn’t happen in Jacks World. Period.

Selection not as wide as the one on 32^nd Street, but still cheap. Come here for cheap household goods. Leave the edible items alone, im not sure how long those things been sitting on the shelves.
Oh yeah… those earphones for like $ 3.99, leave those on the shelves as well. lol!!!

I do enjoy hitting up the dolla stores every now and then to check out all of the junk and get bare essentials, although I’m not sure I would want to buy those pregnancy test kits.
I’ve come in here to pick up some baby powder, random knick knacks and even those poop bag dispensers for my dog.
This store doesn’t seem to be as crazy as the one on 32^nd street, but it’s also not as big either.

Jack’s aka dollar store! Amazing! Cheap items available for you. I walk by this place everyday, but never stop by. Today, my coworker bought a toy for her little nephew that cost $ 2.5 and I thought I’ll get that as a joke for my bf and I did. I also cruised around to find other stuff.
It is definitely a good place to find real cheap stuff.
