Love to see how close I am to the 99 cent store and this is a great location. Much larger than most other locations, love the high ceilings, it just feels a bit better than other locations. Selection is great, I always come here for staples such as cleaning or party supplies, other times just to see what they have in store now. I have come home with so many name brand items from here, organic groceries, fun little décor items and gifts, always way more than you stopped in for but at $ 1 it really doesn’t matter. One of my favorite stores for cheap shopping, great addition to the area!

Friendliest 99 Cents store I’ve been to! A friend gave me the heads up that they had wood chips, so I went right over. The employee was extremely helpful as I was wandering around looking for the wood chips.

This is the closest 99 Cent store to me. I came in to look for some organizational items but left empty handed. I’ve shopped here in the past for some spray bottles. Occasionally they will have brand name cleaners, food items, and even wine. They have produce in this store so if you’re looking for a steal, check out their produce. I don’t always shop here but instead only come to browse when I need something I know that they sell. Not everything is 99 cents, so check the price tags. They have a bunch of cheap holiday décor if you are looking to decorate your office with. I saw a bunch of tinsel, stockings, and snowflakes that were even discounted further than 99 cents. If you’re throwing a party, you might find some things that are cheaper than Party City. It pays to shop around and you might even save some $.

We just came in here to get a few sodas since we were thirsty, but even that took a lot of time since they didn’t have enough cash registers open. It took a while to get through the checkout process because of that, but nothing went wrong during the checkout process. Still, even with that, they have a lot of stuff here. It’s very big with lots of aisles and lots of soda both in the front with a soda refrigerator and at room temperature in the aisles. They have easily accessible restrooms too.

Anytime I got hit on(literally) by an old man here, I’m just going to say«Mother fucker!». Hope they’ll get the hint.

Such a fun store you can just come fill up your cart with so many things and get out paying around 50 dollars. I wouldn’t buy food there because most of the items are almost expired but very nice to get all kind of other things for the house.

Insane variety and packed quantity this is one of the most stocked in the area! A bit too overstocked? Tight aisles and parking is a mess but worth it with how much u save. I somehow end up spending 50 $ every time sometimes twice a week yikes but hey why pay more ever again

This is the first time I’ve been to this store and it will be my last. I came to this store on a Wednesday, June 3, 2015 around 12:30pm and it was a zoo! I had three bags of chips which I ended up putting it back where I got it from. They had three cashiers and each one of them had a mile long line! I wasn’t about to spend my time in line for three items. Sad to say this store needs to man up and get things moving! They also need to remove the piles of go backs in front of the store. Why make it difficult for the customer? Nevertheless, this store is worst than the stores located in the hood.

Well everything is definitely 99 cents here… I am pretty positive the employees get paid 99 Cents a hour because there not that happy to see you when walk in. That also could just be the perception i portrayed. I love that its all 99 cents. I did have a great lady checking me out who let me buy my rockstar when she was closing her cash register down. She put time aside to ring me up really quick before she closed ! MUCHRESPECT.

Clean, organized and THE place to shop whenever I have BBQ picnic outdoors. Lots of variety and some garden items really last long and are of so-so quality. Parking is a mess here. Be aware of the rash drivers.

Covalon is as incompetent as they come!!! She’s an older Asian lady that works the cash register and managed to completely mess up my transaction. She then had to get a manager to fix the mess she created. Can someone please clue me in on why she then gets mad at me and starts talking bad about me to the next customer?! She must hate her job but I guess I can’t blame her. Nonetheless, it’s a job and she should at least TRY to be the slightest bit professional. This lady should get fired.

So I live almost center to 3 of these. Out of the one off Lake Forest and the other in Foothill this one is the dirtiest, but I like this one out of the other 2 because it’s bigger and always has what I’m looking for. Yes everyone seems to hate their job here and is rude, but I go for cheap shit not customer service, that’s for sure.

Good amount of items. Especially holiday related ones. But because it is so cheap here, all the good things run out fast. If a holiday is coming up make sure to get there for the first couple of days to pick out the good decorations.

Tomorrow is Hawaiian day at my boys school so in a mad search for anything Hawaiian I find myself here. Finds: — Poores brothers Maui sweet onion chips(went to Ralph’s and just purchased Hawaiian chips for $ 3.69/bag and returned them after finding these). Bought 5 bags for class. — plastic flower leis — totally not Hawaiian but found angry bird iPad game… can’t go wrong for .99 Lines were crazy but I was happy with my finds.

I came here a few times, once in search of a few specific items after shopping at our local .99 cent only store in Foothill Ranch. I was very pleased to find that they still had a large selection of bubbles and beach pail items to match the ones already purchased at the other store for an upcoming party. I don’t normally shop at these stores, but come here occasionally to get a few things that I know are a good deal for under a dollar, such as their stop light bell peppers, tray of mixed baby greens, gift bags or coloring books. Otherwise a lot of the no name brands scare me, especially on the food items. And who even buys the no-name pregnancy tests or condoms?!? A lot of times you really do get what you pay for.

Great place to come find some amazing deals. I have two dogs who love playing with tennis balls. I can come buy a can of rejected head tennis balls for $ 0.99. Amazing deal with as many tennis balls that we go through.

The popularity of this 99 Cents Only store is a testament to how cheap people in Lake Forest really are.

Why pay full price when you can pay 99 cents?! Seriously… why would you? This is not where I do a lot of shopping but I do love coming here from time to time. If you know brands and what they cost, this is a great bargain. The same hand soaps that I buy at other stores for $ 3 – 4, I get here for a dollar. They have a huge pet section as well. I get my dogs toys and some clothes here as well. Yeah, this is not where I would buy everything. But if I’m going to save $$$, why wouldn’t I come here for the things I need anyway. They even have a produce section. Most items are fresh. I’ve picked some fruits and vegetables from here and been happy with it. Will I keep coming? Hell yeah! Saving money is COOL!!!

You know those $ 1 gift exchanges that the holiday seasons bring? Here’s where you go to buy that gift. I was surprised by how big this store is. They even have produce. I did not buy produce but instead searched for gifts. Tom bought a cool gumball machine for 99 cents plus tax, I bought a Dodgers item even though I don’t follow baseball yet. I figured it would be a good gift for someone. It amazes me how much variety they have in the store. This is worth checking out. Afterward, you can go to Chronic Tacos or check out Guitar Center. If you like 99 cent stores, this one is pretty fun.
