99 Cents Only Stores

Not just 99cents only anymore. Sometimes I get home and look on my receipt to see I’ve been charged 1.99 or whatever else that they have not clearly marked that is more expensive. Also always someone or organization outside asking for money.

Not bad. I like to look around here once in a while. Today the very first item I saw was Craker Jacks. Three packs for 99.9 cents. When I was a kid I could buy them for 10 cents a pack or 3 packs for a quarter. How things have changed. The cashier I had today was great. He talked to his customers. He listened to them. Just a nice young man, I am guessing wotking his way through college.

This 99 Cents location is pretty ghetto. Lots of drug addicts shopping here and lurking outside. Not really a place you want to be caught in.
I’d highly recommend going to Dollar Tree down the street instead.
The only good thing about this location is that they have good cheap decorations for the Holidays.
Spend the extra penny and go to the Dollar Tree.

Wow! I’m in shock. I’ve never seen a more beautiful 99 cent only store as this. In stock. Clean. Clean. Clean. Helpful employees everywhere. I’m so excited to have found a store this close to me as I just relocated here from Long Beach. Julio, the store manager was very pleasant to talk to as well. Good job to the team for a very beautiful, clean store! See you soon.

This post is to express my appreciation to the 99 cent stores for providing a restroom for their customers. Due to a medical condition, this is very important to me. When I have to shop, I go to your store. Comparatively speaking the Dollar Tree does not provide such services to their customers. Thank you very much.

Ok, first off the vegetable and fruit are fresh! And they are priced right. There is always parking in the front too.
The inside is clean and organized. As expected there are some junk items, but there are also name brands in the mix. There are a lot of customers, and you have to squeeze by in some aisles, that was kinda a negative. Needs more space. But a plus is there are a lot of employees and the lines move quickly.
I will definitely go back there when I am in the area.

I am always on the hunt for name brand items here at the 99 only store and 99% of the time I do! For example today I found Heinz Ketchup 20oz bottles for 99cents as well as some Home Pride bread, Baby Lips Maybelline lip balms, and Oscar Meyer Turkey Deli meat for 99cents! I always leave this place happy knowing i saved a bunch of money compared to buying these same items at Walmart for triple the price! Super good deals and you never know what you’re going to find next!

By far one of the best 99cent store’s clean neat an organized everything is so easy to find an they have my dogs favorite dog food for way cheaper than petco.

I happen to be in the area when I realized that I need round cotton pads, cotton balls, and Q-​tips. Please be aware, this store does not actually carry Q-​Tip brand. I don’t care, but I know some people are particular about the type of cotton that is inserted in their ears.
As I walk in, I notice how well organized the store is kept. And, although I have been in a 99 Cents Only Stores before. This location stood out. So, what does a girl to do? Walk through the whole store, of course. As I walk from one aisle to another. I reach the Valentine’s Day décor… oh, boy! I am sucker for this holiday… day. Whatever. You know what I mean. I buy a heart for our door (99 cents), gummy window decals (I bought 4 varieties, 99 cents each), and a puzzle and heart shaped chocolates for my valentine. I am on cloud nine! Don’t laugh. I heart this day… this month. I of course get what I came in here to begin with, and off to the register. The lady at the register was very nice. I paid for my items on 2 separate receipts and she did not mind. Thanks.
Also, when I was viewing all the Valentine’s Day items. I took my time. The lady who was stocking the shelf was helpful, and pleasant. I was surprised at how pleasant she was. But, it was refreshing!
$ 19 with change later, I was happy.
Thank you, and I will be back.

Best of this chain in town. Yeah now its 99 and up SO WHAT YOU WANNA MAKE SOMETHIN OF IT? LET’S FIGHT!
«THEM’S FIGHTIN WORDS.»
Seriously some folks seem to be pretty peeved that they now have better quality goods worth more than a buck. Wake up people its 2016, inflation! Friend of mine just bought an 1100 sq. ft. shack of a house up the street from this place for $ 550k. Everything costs more.
But at this place you will still pay less.
That said watch the dates on food and simply awesome cleaning products are simply awful.
Best deal today… generic orajel toothache relief… $ 1… Same stuff at rite-​aid… $ 9
You could relieve 9 toothaches for the price of one! Amazing! Or the same tooth ache 9 times! Or… Ahem. Whatever.

How can they REALLY call themselves 99 Cents Only??? Everything rings up a dollar, I bought something today and it said 69 cents well it rang up 70 cents. If you’re gonna charge 70 cents don’t put a 69 cent sticker on the shelf. Isn’t that ripping the consumer off, if you buy ten items BAM you’ve spent an extra dime it adds up… just saying.

This .99 store is one of the best ones in San Diego. If your looking for holiday decorations I suggest trying this store out ! They have so many Christmas items out right now. From Christmas cards to Tree decorations, wrapping paper and more. You can basically get most of your holiday shopping done in one place & on a budget! Great for Holiday /​Office parties as well. I always stop by and pick up Holiday items and they never seem to disappoint! It’s always a hit or miss though. If you see something you like I suggest buy it right away. Not all stores carry he same items and prices. :0)

I love this store! I always check the holiday decorations. You get inexpensive things at a bargain price. I have been to other 99 cent stores around SD and this is far the best one. It is always stocked and I always find good produce items as well. I love buying my sparkling water from here as well as my baking items. When I am working on arts & crafts I always come to check out what I can purchase from this store before hitting up Michaels. Recently I bought home décor for my office restroom. I found a couple of items that you would pay more for at other stores. I am never disappointed when I come to this place. I always manage to walk out with something cool! If ever are in the area stop by and pay this store a visit.

It was 5-​star some years ago. Now the good deals are gone. Many items are now more than 99cents!

Unbelievably filthy parking lot!!! Customers are all complaining and talking about going elsewhere. Do we need a petition to get this parking lot swept on a daily or weekly basis. I understand the owner of the 99cent store doesn’t give a darn! So, maybe we shouldn’t give a darn and shop at the next closest 99 cent store. We take pride in our Clairemont community and he doesn’t. Whatsup with this? ??

The 99 cent ONLY store has starting charging more than 99 cents for many products. This is hugely disappointing. I am willing to «go ghetto» in order to save money, but now I have to begin to watch prices. Seriously, I see people shopping there for their weekly groceries all the time. It’s nice to know these folks have a place to buy food with their meager income’s.
Before the recent price hikes, you knew you were never going to spend more than $.99 (often less) for anything you bought here. So it made it kind of fun to fill your cart and know it wasn’t going to break the bank (see my review for Whole Paycheck’s Market).
I watched an interview with the founder and owner of the $.99 ONLY store. When he was asked how he could make a profit by only charging $.99 for items that appear to be worth more than that. His answer was that they made enough money on the very low value items to lose a little bit of money on the pricier ones. That worked for me, and I very much respected the philosophy.
I’m not sure if the chain has changed hands, but this is a purveyor of very bad things. Please embrace your founder’s philosophy and let us have fun in your store again!

99 reasons to save money. You can find good products here for the price but most of it is inferior quality. Good place to try different products though.

This place has a lot of high quality brand name stuff for just .99cents or a little mor, and you can buy everything from food (perishables like fruits and vegetables, either by the pound of 99cents for a bag, and ($ 2.99 for eggs or milk), office supplies, kitchen stuff, cleaning supplies, toiletries, and all sorts of nick nacks! Cards, books, party decorations, batteries, auto stuff, etc. are available as are seasonal items (for Xmas, Halloween, Easter, etc. holidays). Yes, sometimes you have to check the expiration date, i.e., it’s probably there because it may expire soon but that doesn’t bother me.

It’s hard to judge an entire store based on one or two employees, but I am getting tired of the rude behavior when it comes to backed up checkout lanes. For example; this morning I was in line when ‘Fadi’ closed his lane. I walked down to the other end of the store and got back in line behind 12 other people. ‘Fadi” has closed his lane only to converse with the woman running the lane I moved to, forcing her to work slower. Then he made his way back to lane 7, where I followed him. He then told me to let another customer in front of me. I’m sure it had nothing to do wit her batting her eyes at him. He did not greet me or thank me in any way.
The Dollar Tree seems to have much nicer employees. too bad they only have about ¹⁄₃ as many items.
You gotta love the place being called «99 Cent Only», yet they sell several items for far more than 99 cents.

I buy name brand items here like HUNT’S ketchup for 99.9 cents… can’t beat the price. All are date coded and not expired.
They have a very large supply of name brand candy all well within the date codes.
I never really shopped the 99 cent store until my wife started bringing home great name brand items, to many to mention…
I now shop at leat two times a week.
I like shopping in the morning when everything is stocked and the place is clean. By noon the place can be really busy and run down and by evening its a zoo.
I’m hooked on saving money on name brand items and now its the thrill of the hunt. Be mindful, that what you buy today might not be available tomorrow, it’s just the nature of the beast… I’m really talking specialist items, but name brand candy is always available daily…
I even find South Beach snacks from time to time and Weight Watcher cookie’s as well. On these items make sure to buy what you want to hoard because these items sell fast and you might not be able to find them the next day… check your date codes and plan accordingly… what a great deal on these otherwise expense diet deserts… there really tasty!
Good deal on name brand soda and just a lot of stuff to much to mention…
Just try it you’ll be hooked, happy hunting!
