99 Cent Only Stores

One of those places where you some items will always be there and some are there just for a short time. It’s always hard to tell what will and what won’t and end up buying more of the one item just because it might not be there the next time… And always end up buying more than what you come for. Cleanliness in the store could be better and there’s always rift raft hanging out in front of the store asking for money.

This was my 2^nd time shopping at this store. I bought a pack of Sara Lee dinner rolls and I made some sliders for my sons using these rolls. As my son was almost finished with his slider he noticed a weird green color on his bread. He called for me and I inspected it and surely, there it was… Green mold! Mind you I purchased the bread on the 27^th and it was good thru the 30^th. So I called the store and asked to speak to the manager/​supervisor. I spoke to Barbara and I told her what happened and that my son threw away the bread in the trash because he was disgusted. She said «Next time don’t throw away the bread he ate» Wth, my sons first instinct was to throw that away in the trash. But, I did tell her that one more roll also had mold. So, she told me to return it so, I’m going to go back and get something else. I don’t know if they repack old bread in plastic bags that state a longer good thru date so they can sell, but I know one thing for sure that bread from the grocery stores don’t even get mold after their exp date. That’s the last time I will ever purchase bread from there.
Tip: Always inspect the bread for mold even if it states a good thru date… Yuck just yuck.

I ran in to get produce for salad on a Monday night and they were pretty much wiped out. I didn’t want to stand in line for the 2 items I wanted, so I left. I typically love the value 99 Cent Only stores provide.

Great place to pick up certain items. Others you can actually find for cheaper at «regular» stores. Depending the the day, there can be quite a few brand name foods, for a fraction of the cost. If you need to stock up on candy and ramen, household crap, or cheap whatever, it’s the place for you. Typical hybrid breed of «human» /​demon possessed cave goblin shoppers, with more than your fair share of creepers who will follow you and your girlfriend around the aisles. You get what you pay for, but being poor, the 99 is a staple of our shopping trips. ;-p

Has amazing products that are sold for twice as much at most big chain super markets. I love that I can buy my child craft stuff to do projects at home with him

Great selection you can find amazing deals but all of that may not mean a thing when you go to check out almost every single time that I’ve been here there’s only one register open there’s a bunch of other employees walking around talking coming and talking to the cashier but nobody bothers to open up a new lane there is 9 people in line today I’m on register including two paramedics that were in line shame on management of this particular store and there I don’t give a you know whst about customers waiting in long line and leaving only one register open almost 99% of the time.

I go to the 99 cents store mostly to buy stuff for my kids birthday parties. This year we are doing minion team & I was able to find bunch of party favors & decorative stuff (from table covers to plates & cups, birthday hats & poster, etc.) here for a lot cheaper than party city. In fact, I went to party city & I found the same identical items a lot more expensive. So I was able to save a lot of money going to this store.
However, the kind of customers you see in this store are very different. One time a person who was on a wheelchair ran over my stuff & didn’t even say he was sorry. I had my stuff on the floor to be able to see them better & I was trying to buy age appropriate party favors for my guests. I remember when that happened I just left the store & said to myself to never go back here…
Also every time I’ve gone to this store they only had one cashier & there was a long line to pay which is so annoying.
Only go to this store if you really really have to.

Love the store, but hate the beggars out front wearing all white asking money for the church. Can I just shop without anyone in my face asking for money?

Wow, horrible service. The cashier was rude and nasty, a b****. If you go there be prepared. Another thing I am obviously handicapped and she packed the bags as heavy as she could even though I asked her not to.

I shop here about 3 – 4 times a week. It helps me clear my head and its something to do. Good stuff all the time.

This place is close to me and has a lot of produce many others may not carry. They also have a large selection of various «name brands» from time to time. I buy a lot of my toiletries here and I can say that it’s definitely a great deal! The staff is always friendly also.

I went to this 99 Cent Only Store in Lomita, CA on 4÷10÷2015. I bought 14 items and my bill was $ 12.00 not including tax (I can’t complain about that). Plus, this location has an amble shared parking lot.

Ya this is one of the SMALLER 99 cent stores. NOT too much stock or inventory. Just your basic stuff you would find here. If your looking for more stock try the 99 cent on vermont ave @ sepulveda blvd BIGGER store with larger stock.

Use to really like this store but since they changed everything the owner (s) have decided to sell more cutesy stuff then convenience items that people actually need on a daily basis. They have also raised their prices on fruits and vegetables — if they cost more then 99 cents why wouldn’t I just go to Food-​4-​Less or Albertsons across the street for fresher produce? I didn’t mind buying produce that had a day or two (at most) of life left for 99 cents but no way will I pay more than a dollar.
Also gone is the gallon of bleach for 99 cents and replaced with some knock off brand at half the quantity.
Garlic? Gone
Bags of grape? Now 99 cents a pound.
No more organic items either — haven’t seen those since before the make-​over.
The only things I now shop for at this 99 Cents store is Halloween items, the occasional junk food craving & a few produce items still priced at 99 cents.

Unbelievable, I just shopped here and while going through my bags at home I notice I’m missing quite a few things. So I called to ask if a bag was left at the register? The response was which register? Seriously? Who would remember that?

This particular 99 cent store is not as big as the one near where I live so doesn’t have as much to choose from. The parking lot is small and always crowded too. The lines are super slow and barely moves at this store that sometimes it is not worth the hassle to get the deal I am looking for. Only will come back if I really need something and I am close by to it.

Wish they had a larger produce section.

I can’t say anything negative about this place, price is always right and they have a broad variety on items that at other stores you would be paying $$$ rather than keeping it at $ big differences if you are really trying to make the dollar count. I mean they even carry Central American items that are usually a mission to hunt down or way over priced to bother with.

BIG CHANGES. No more 99 cents! A sign in the store window officially announced that the prices have been rounded up to $ 1.00. The end of an era! And now the grapes are weighed so you pay by the pound ($.79) not by the bag. All that being said, the chain is my go to place for so many things. I couldn’t regularly eat salad if I didn’t shop here. Granted, sometimes the produce can be past its prime. On the other hand, I can get fresh organic lettuce and tomatoes that would cost $ 3.99 in a regular supermarket. And now that’s it’s melon season — I recently bought some Honeydew that were so sweet they made my cavities sing. It’s a hit and miss deal when it comes to produce, but if you’re a regular, you already know that. This store is particularly clean, well maintained, and roomy. Even paying a penny more, it’s still the best deal in town.

I actually like this one… I’ve been to many 99 cents only stores and this one always had me buying stuff haha but with all 99 Cents Only stores, there are tons of creepy people.
But I like the fact this place has name brand stuff — Kushy socks, adidas (girly products), decent fake eyelashes, Disney stuff and foods, etc.
Also fresh foods. So good stuff.
Clean. Big. Standard.
Hey! We’re falling on hard times haha
