All 99 Cents store are pretty similar, but this one is just a bit better than average, The shelves are well stocked with a good variety of items, neat, clean, and well organized.

It’s what u expect. The same items would cost us $ 70 at Albertsons. Here less than $ 25.

MIND BLOWN! Money… Not so much! Full cart for $ 60!!!
Great store!
Plenty of parking.
Plenty of carts.
Here’s what shocked me… Lots of gluten free items, really nice large variety of fresh veggies and fruit, grocery items to many to mention! Found sea salt grinders 99 cents! Coconut milk! Feel like a kid in a candy shop! This place is rad!

The store is OK, I wish you could find the great deals on Friday and you find Wednesdays. You have to go regularly to not miss out on great goodies. Some of the product in the fridges are about to expire but usually I eat what I buy there first. It’s always great to find ziplock bags, ketchup, toothpaste, etc for 99cts. Can’t beat that! Not 5 stars because the cashiers are not friendly. Always rushing.

I never thought i’d be the type to shop at 99 cent stores, but when you see what deals you can get, you get over that whole stigma quick! Their produce is always rotating, sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s not, but that kinda makes the store fun because you always find something new. They even have some organic products which is pretty sweet. I’d definitely recommend it for your food staples (bread, pasta, beans, etc) and toiletries… can’t beat the price. Everything else is a hit or miss, but even then it’s fun to see what you can get. If you like energy drinks there’s half an aisle stocked full of them.
Only down sides are that there’s almost always a big line, the clerks aren’t that friendly, and the area isn’t one i’d really want to be in after dark.

Just returned from this store. There were only 2 registers open and there were literally 15 customers waiting in each line. The young man running the register was so distracted by the other employee, female with black hair, over done eye liner and nose ring flirting with him that I had to reach up and give the customer in front if me her receipt. I won’t be going back to this store. There is a Dollar store just down the street with much better customer service.

I really think the store itself could easily earn 5-​stars but the associates are so unhelpful. It almost feels like mean high school girls in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s work there. The two fellas that work there are professional and friendly enough. Same with San Marcos store. Mean girls. Product selection is pretty awesome but I’ll go to DollarTree on Melrose and Hacienda. Huge difference in staff attitude.

I happen to shop here pretty often. It is on my way home from work. Inside it is always pretty crowded with people and narrow fully stocked isles. That said, I like this place. They have fresh fruit, milk, bread, and all the general 99 cent store offerings. What I like is that I can find organic soy milk here, which is usually a few bucks more at the regular grocery store. They also have a happening Halloween section. :-) Of course I have to mention the staff. The cashiers are always smiling, even though the lines never end. Only downside is a pretty dirty parking lot, mostly due to the huge amount of customers. Also if your lucky you might come on the day there is a man playing a drum or small guitar for change out front… lol.

Hey, this is no Saks Fifth Avenue, but it’s a pretty good find for all things cheap and disposable– even many staples for the house.
Be sure to lock the car doors and keep your purse tucked under your arm, but the payoff is great! I found lots of random and really good grocery items. The produce didn’t look so great, but the novelties and non-​perishables were a score!
And of course, don’t forget about this place for every holiday, birthday, and frivolous celebration!
Great spot for bargains!

99 cents upgrade! This store just got taller shelves (grocery store height) so now it seems they are carrying twice the amount of things for a dollar.
You really can’t beat the value of something for a buck. Even a shopping spree here seems to only cost about $ 20. This location is particularly good for food and grocery items. I could be cleaner (so it gets –1 star) but otherwise its my favorite.

It is a 99 Cent store so I shouldn’t expect much. But the place is always a mess. They have a lot of things that are great deals, but the mess will always leave me frustrated and yearning to get out of the place as soon as possible.

It’s always fun to shop here. It’s always clean and fully stocked. Sometimes the lines to check out get a little long but the employees are usually right on top of it.
I’m still impressed at how a .99 Cent store made it so big! good job guys!

This is the largest 99cent store I have been to. Has just about everything you can think of. It is true about their food stuff it is never expired. They even have a produce section in the back with fresh looking stuff but I’ve never tried any of it yet. The cashiers are always polite and the lines are sometimes long but you don’t have to wait very long.

I like the 99 cents only stores as they have some neat items for really inexpensive. I think some of the good deals I’ve found there are 99 cents for a half gallon of west soy soy milk, large carton of organic soup, various electronic cords and chargers, 4 pack of wire sink strainers/​catchers, clearance seasonal items, Belkin ipod coverings, 3 or 4 pack of superglue. I sometimes buy yogurt, spinach and maybe some vegetables there though they are not that great of a deal as some of the local market sales on produce. I love to go in and just see what new items they have as items vary from store to store.

I’d have to agree with the other reviews, Its rare to find a store so inexpensive. Twenty dollars can get your grocery list pretty much taken care of. And its really clean too. The only downside is that too many people go there. But its understandable to get crowded when you have that good of a deal. Take it from me if you dont want to break your budget and stll have what you need, go here.

It’s easy to joke about dollar stores, but who hasn’t gotten excited walking into one and finding things that you need (okay, or not) for only $ 1? Or in this case, 99 cents? When I moved into my first apartment all by myself, I had to get a lot of odds and ends that my roommates used to provide, like plates. Plates! I went to this store and got 6 sets of plates, bowls, and mugs, and a slew of other things like dish soap and plastic baskets and other little things that you’d easily pay 2−3x or more for at even a Target. (And I loves me some Target!) This location in particular is well stocked with a lot of variety in types of products. And, yes, they do have groceries and fresh produce. I haven’t really bought any of it, but if you needed a low-​cost alternative for getting food, this would definitely do!
And, lastly, the staff here is pretty friendly. I’ve never come through a checkout and seen a dour, unpleasant person ringing me up.

Hey, this is as good as it gets for 99cents!!! I never thought I’d be shopping/​frequenting the 99cent store! I wanted to get some holiday decorations for the bar without breaking the bank. I wondered in and was amazed at all the selections! I’ve bought– Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving… I didn’t spring for St Patty’s or Easter but hey! I saw some great bunny ears!
Who knew the 99cent store would actually have food and it’s NOT expired! (ok check the dates!) They have fresh vegetables, frozen items, eggs, milk.
When I go to Ralphs or longs I’m walking out paying $ 40-​$ 130… I walk out of the 99cent store spending $ 16-​$ 20!
In this economy I don’t care saving a buck is a buck and I’m NOT gonna be embarrassed about shopping at the 99cent store… SHHHHH don’t tell anyone I go there… LOL

As far as 99 Cent Stores go, I’d say this location is the shiz. It’s a nice size and I’ve scored some really sweet deals here. For example, not long ago I got a Belkin case (well 6 really cause I ended up getting one of each style) for my iPod classic for 99 cents each. Belkin! My sister in law had just bought one of the cases I got for almost 20 bucks. I’ve found a lot of really great products here for (duh) $.99 and I love it.
P. S. Thanks Gramps for turning me into a 99 Cent store junkie like you.
P. P. S. Thanks Abby for turning me on to the fact that one shouldn’t have to pay more than a buck for shaving cream.
