Dollar Tree

OK, it’s with a heavy heart I update my glowing review from about a year ago. This store has declined sharply in quality, inventory and cleanliness since it re-​opened after several months of clean up after flood damage. The shelves are nearly empty and when I asked someone who appeared to be a person of authority, his response was the inventory disappears off the shelves as soon as they stock it. I call BS on that. Many times I’ve gone in to look for what I usually buy there and it’s not on the shelf. Also, after the flood damage, they replaced the carpeted floor with vinyl flooring. It’s filthy and in dire need of a mop. I keep returning to this store, because it’s located next door to Smart and Final, where I also shop, and come away disappointed. I’m not crazy about the 99 cent store in San Clemente, but often have better luck there.

Convenient location, low supply of stuff. They had what we needed so it did the job! Just a little disorganized.

The 99¢ Only Store in San Clemente is categorically better.
If there is any reason to recommend this place, It’s a guy named Patrick. Despite the fact that this company would be better run by government workers (DMV etc.) He’s working hard to make it work.
If he’s not the manager, he should be!!! Smart, Great attitude while weathering the storm of mismanagement from above.
I was with Trader Joe’s for years and I know stuff.
This place sucks, save for Patrick!!!

Jacob demonstrates incredible customer service every time I am at the Dollar Tree in Capistrano Beach and looking for a «bulk» buy on certain items. If I can’t find my items on the shelf he will go to the back and bring out cartons delivered that day that are exactly what I need. Thanks for caring, Jacob. Dollar Tree, hire more colleagues like Jacob!

Out of the 3 in south county this one is the best location for inventory. It’s larger and has more frozen variety and inventory. Best set up/​layout and biggest parking lot. Plus better hours! I do like the employees at the alicia one by the fwy but it’s smaller and the inventory is always out of stock for certain items over there so when I can I make the trip to this one. :-) everything’s 1 $ legit:-)

One of the cleanest Dollar Trees! Large lots of inventory. My husband likes to ask the cashier how much an item is.

Forget Party City! If you need party supplies you have to go to Dollar Tree! It is true that the selection isn’t as large as what you would find at Party City, but the prices are not as large either … everything is … one dollar!!! Plates, napkins, invitations, table coverings, decorations, party favors, wrapping, gift bags, games, cups (even clear tumblers), if you’re looking for it … they probably have it.
They also have a great selection of storage supplies. You know … all those baskets, boxes and containers of different sizes that you find in different sections of Target, Wal-​Mart, even the market or Costco for various prizes. Well, you can find them here. No matter what size your looking for … they’re all one dollar.
Another good thing to find here is office supplies (or school supplies depending on the time of the year). I just stalked up on all kinds of school supplies. I lucked into some dry eraser marker 4-​packs. I picked up one and brought it home to try it out because I was skeptical. These things cost at least $ 3 to $ 4 at the office store. I will admit that the ink marks weren’t the darkest and they may not last as long as they name brand. But to pay $ 0.25 for a dry erase marker rather than $ 1 — I’ll give it a try.
In the back of this store is a large frozen food case. I couldn’t bring myself to look at what might be inside … there could have been frozen dessert items (which might have been fine). Or, there could have been food (maybe veggies could have been acceptable). Other than that I’m not sure what I’d be comfortable buying for $ 1 — so I just didn’t look.
There are cleaning supplies, plastic sandwich bags, glassware, plastic cups, and plates, personal care items (like bandages, toothpaste, ointments, nail polish … stuff like that). Basically. there is a whole lot of everything, but it changes all the time so don’t count on something specific being there if you make a second trip. Oh … and by Dan Point rule… they don’t provide free bags. So bring your own. By a reusable one (really nice quality for … $ 1) or get a plastic one for $ 0.05.

The selection is good and frozen food selection is better in my opinion than the 99 cent store

my family and I LOVE this place, sometimes the employees are hit and miss but the good ones are awesome. I get all my party needs here. :)
can’t go wrong with balloons for a dollar and they have all kinds of choices to choose from.

I love Dollar Tree because everything is brand new for only a dollar. The store is very clean and organized, and it doesn’t take long to get through the check-​out line. They don’t have the biggest selection of frozen food items, but none of it’s freezer-​burned and it’s always fresh. This store doesn’t have as large of a selection as The 99Cents Only Store, but it’s better than Big Lots. The cashiers are nice, they accept EBT, and everything is easy to find. The only reason this didn’t get five stars is because the parking lot it’s located in is a huge nightmare getting in, out, and finding a parking spot. But it’s worth the stress for the awesome deals.
