Do You Shop At The 99 Cent Store?  email this discussion to a friend?

I just love shopping at the 99 cent store. I try to go as much as possible. They have so many great deals. I know that there is not one everywhere, but I believe that they are throughout California. I like to shop there with people from other countries.
It is so much fun to watch them get excited about all the different things that are sold there for only 99 cent. The thing that I like most about the ninety-nine cent store is that there is always something new to choose from. This also happens to be the thing I like the least.
You buy something once and think that it will always be there and then you go back the next time and it is no longer there. I have found some amazing deals there, like my USB cable for my printer and my favorite toothpaste.
I like Ultra Brite, but when I went earlier this week i forgot to pick some up, so today I purchased a tube at Vons for $1.59. I was not a happy camper, but it will be a while before I go back to the 99 cent store, so I figured, I better get it there.

I don't think we have any 99 cent stores here, but I live in the midwest, so I guess that's why. It sounds great though, so I wish we did! We do have lots of dollar stores though, so I guess that's pretty much the same. lol It's pretty amazing how much great stuff they have for such a great price. I love shopping there, and especially when they have some stuff 2 for a dollar. You'd think they would just have a bunch of low quality cheap type things, but they really have some good stuff. I always try to check there before buying things elsewhere so I can get the best deal! :)

When the 99 cent store first started out here, the quality of their stuff was not that good. You would see medication that had already expired and food that was stale and close to rotting.
But they have improved 100% in the last few years. So much so that you will from all different income levels in there. Before there was mostly junk, now you can go and really feel that you are coming out with a steal, it is cool.

I go to Dollar Tree occassionally. I just like to look around because they have all kinds of random stuff. I do buy a lot of stuffed animals there for my dog because he tears toys up so quickly that I feel awful spending $4 for them. I don't care if he tears up little one dollars stuffed animals. They always have fun candy too. Like candy that you don't see anywhere else.

I had a little puppy that loved to chew and tear up things. Those are the most fun. As long as they don't get ahold of something that you don't want them to have, because, some of them will have the nerve to bite you, if you try to take it away.
I also love to buy candy at our 99 cent store. They have candy bars and such, 3 for 99 cents. On holidays like Easter and Christmas, you can really go there and clean up. But then after the holidays, I like to hit up all the stores, when the candy is like 50% off. That is really a blast.

I don't yet have any children, but I can just imagine how excited they get when you announce that you will be going there. That is the kind of place that is fun for the whole family and easy on the pocket book.

In the UK we have £1 stores, which actually works out more expensive than your 99 cent stores. Still, given the ever increasing cost of living over here there's not much you can get for a £1, though you can get some really good stuff in the £1 stores! I like to get jiffy bags and craft/card making stuff, and sometimes the odd branded toiletries, and sweeties of course! You really do have to get what you want when you see it as like you say you may not see it again.

i absolutely LOVE the 99 Cents Store. i also love the Dollar Tree/Dollar Store. They have such great deals on things. You can make up a whole care package for someone for so little! You spend $20 and come out with so much! Sometimes you can get things 2 or 3 for 99 cents and it is great!

We do not have a 99 cent store in my area but we do have a Dollar Tree store. Thats one of my favorite stores, I love shopping there. They have a lot of name brand items for just a dollar. Since they have new items every week I always go there every weekend. They know my name now in that store. Last weekend I seen a three pack of hanes underwears for a dollar in the dollar tree. Now that was a great baragin.

We have a similar store here, called Dollar tree, everything is a dollar, or two for a dollar. I don't buy toothpaste there, lately I have read the warnings that the toothpaste that comes from these stores may have a name brand on them, but they are produced in another country that does not have the FDA like we do, they do not have flouride and are not as safe as our toothpastes, so I buy a lot of things at these stores, but not those type of items. You're so right, if you see it and you want it you better buy it then, b/c they go fast, they may or may not be there when you come back the next week. I've learned that the hard way. I love to buy my picture frames, flowers, what nots there also.
