7 reviews for 99 Cents Only Stores
3 Stars
Had to pick up a few things for our hotel room and for the drive back the next day, and since we couldn't find a grocery store, we stopped by here.
Parking lot is dirty and packed, store seemed old and dirty, but hey....it was cheap! Got what we needed, even a little extra, and headed out. They really have more than you'd expect here.....I just wouldn't buy the food or grocery items they had.....
I live in this place.. it has about 100 household and food items I use regularly and for a buck? ..bonus points cause they sell multicolored condoms and birthday cards..
Excellent choice for bulk clothespin purchase and Pillsbury Grands! There's always plenty of parking in the neighborhood and free plants outside the store. The workers are gracious and selfless, offering to help you find all the batteries your remotes need. I would recommend shopping here over some hoity toity place that doesn't respect it's customers like Ralph's. My two minor complaints would be that the milk jugs are too small and they don't carry Crab Boil anymore. :(
What is it about this 99 cent store that seems to attract...
--Nose picking old men with band aid fetishes
--Children who run wild through the store yelling "chicle" and "Chupa me, puto" as they spit on the ground
--Women with platinum bleached blonde hair with roots longer than 2 inches arguing with cashiers as the side of their bra-less breast hangs out for all of the discount seeking world to see.
--Men who hang out waaaay too long in the women's panty aisle
--Old ladies who cock block the Jesus candles
--People who will honk their horn at you and raise their fist if you dare to put your purchases in your trunk instead of sprinting to your car and making a mad dash for the exit so their beat Buick can grab your spot.
What is it, oh wait, it's the 99 cent store in North Hollywood. What the hell else would you expect?
I still consider this 99 Cent Only store to be the great social experiment of deep discount retailers.
Located on the edge of North Hollywood, it's close enough for lower and middle class folks from deeper North Hollywood to shop, as well as some of the upper middle class and wealthy residents of Studio City and Universal City. So on any given day you can find a 1979 yellow Datsun B210 pulling into the parking lot behind a Porsche Cayenne. It's always interesting to see the interaction of various socio-economic backgrounds.
With that said, this 99 Cent Store is pretty straighforward as far as it's inventory goes. All kinds of sundries of the hygenic, stationary and weird variety. Like most other 99 Cent Stores, this one also carries fruits, vegetables, canned foods and frozen foods. It also has an interesting collection of potted plants out front.
I gave it 4 stars only because parking is sometimes a bit of a problem, but then again, I never mind parking on the street.
My friend was having a party and we had to bring something "outrageous" from a 99 Cent Store. How hard can that be right?
The parking lot is tiny and everyone parking here needs a "I park like an idiot" bumper sticker. So I had to do street parking. I walk in and of course I immediately feel out of place and everyone looks at me like I'm from another planet.
I like to call this store the Target of grocery stores. Not only is everything dirt cheap but they have everything under one roof. Cookware, dishes, food, beauty products and even a Christmas album of Kathy Lee Gifford singing with Alvin and the Chipmunks. I have found my outrageous gift to bring to the party.
I wouldn't recommend buying food here. Just like an all you can eat buffet, you don't know how long it's been sitting there or if there's a colony of microscopic insects living on it. I have bought a few house hold things like sand which bags, candy, and some dirt cheap kitchen utensils.
I didn't win the most outrageous item at the 99 cent store but at least I got to harass the employees with my questions. "How much is this?" 99 cents? "And this book?" 99 cents! "How about this Christmas album?" 99 cents!! "What about...." I just can't help myself sometimes.
I was in the area and my friend wanted to go here. The parking lot was a mess. We make it in and people are everywhere. it was so crowded today. It seemed like they were out of everything. I went to buy cat food, and there were 3 cans left. I dont see myself coming back to this one.
