I guess I looked like someone who would bother people? Or I'm the wrong color skin or in the wrong color hair? I legit walked into the store and was accosted by a Hispanic lady with dark wavy hair. I guess she was a manager and having a bad day because she absolutely accosted me about whether I was looking or buying. I mean, I've been in loss prevention jobs. I get it. But wtf? I'm a peppy person who has been in that store once before and bought a large amount but I didn't receive the third degree that time. I doubt I'll be going back because of that lady. I was even roped into way too long of a conversation with a guy last time I was there and maybe that's why the lady was so hostile towards me? Either way, if she wants business she needs to not judge people by their appearance and hound them literally the moment they walk in the door. I didn't catch her name and I don't particularly like conflict but the more I think about it the more upset I am about it. I will likely not be returning. read more

99 Cent Discount Store - 99 Cent Store - Discount Store Near Me - Santa Ana, California

See all

It is dirty, cluttered, stuff every where and dangerous to walk through! But I got exactly what I was looking for!! Isn't that what counts!! Trying to save money for a reception my parents are having, we ordered flowers from OC Wholesale Florist. Trying to be as creative and thrifty as possible I thought I would scavenger through the 99 cent stores and see what I could find. SUCCESS!! They have lots of glass items, which I mention because other 99 cent stores have glass looking things that are plastic. Once I place my wholesale flowers into my 99 cent vase (which was actually ($1.49) It will look like a million bucks!! Everything in this store is not $.99, but I found a lot of fun things that I would have been proud to buy from there!! Bonus: They sell beta fish!!! read more

99 Cent Discount Store - Discount Store Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Worst mom and pop 99 discount store I have ever been to. I only stopped in to browse because my boyfriend was getting a haircut in the same plaza and I am a dollar store enthusiast . The middle aged woman at the cash register is terribly rude. As soon as I walked in, she told me not to open the nail polish. I was simply looking at the colors. Not more than one minute later, I saw her kick a man out in front of a line of people for no reason saying " i told you not to come here anymore" and then once I started smelling the car air fresheners, she goes " why do you have to touch and smell everything?" It's like okay...b. calm down. You dont work for the CIA or the FBI..You work at the dollar store. Treating people like criminals for browsing.. If she's the owner, im sure the business will fail, and if she is an employee, i suggest the owner fires her. Came here around noon on a Thursday by the way. Fire her. Thanks. read more

OMG!!! I am a fan of all 99 Cents stores, since you may never know what treasures are hidden between the numorous aisles!! What I found at the 99 Cent Discount Store was more spectacular then any other 99 Cents Store I've been through! 1. Earings! 2. Cute Scarves!!! SERIOUSLY--- THeir Scarves are a must See. I bought 6 scarves for $13!!! 3. Toe Socks and Funky Socks of all Kinds (I'm a Socks Girl) 4. If you are Vietnamese--- You can take your mom here to buy all the Vietnamese KitchenWare! It's CHeaper then the Vietnamese Market! 5. Mexican Candy--- They have Lucus of all Flavors! Tamarine Candy! 6. Pinatas- They have Pinatas of all size, and the prices are great! 7. Candles- Great Selection Service is EXCELLENT! read more

I have never in my life experienced such awful customer service & was discriminated against for wearing a light coat (strictly to cover up skin condition) the lady scolded my every move, was rude, told me I must steal bc I'm wearing a coat in hot weather, told me to not take anything throughout store & must leave at front, told me over and over not to open anything bc too much theft, didn't allow me to move huge safety hazard making things unreachable. When I finally told her that she was discriminatory , she yelled saying she could refuse business to anyone & owner told her to watch me bc I've been there before which it was my first and my last time in that awful store. I cannot believe people behave this way and think it's ok. read more

99 Cent Milk, which is awesome, especially for one person-- I can't drink more than 1 liter of milk in a week. It seems like this is a stop-off for transients and alcoholics, which makes sense, but it still makes me a little nervous to go in here alone. They sell a lot of great knick-knacks, but foodwise I might skip over the canned stuff. Most of it seems a little sketchy and not very good for you! The veggie selection is nice, though, for being so cheap! read more

For some reason this place seems to have items that other .99 cent stores do not. Nothing spectacular but just little nic nacs and what not that you just might love! Just 2 blocks from my house, makes it a nice little short trip to get things I need for cheap. Aisles seem to be kinda narrow for me. Maybe my shoulders are just too wide! =O haha Plenty of parking. It can easily be missed but just look for the Burger King near 1st & Harbor intersection. This place is just on the otherside of the driveway. read more

I cannot believe we have a store like this in united states the people working there they don't know how they can have a good customer service I walk inside the store and I said hi but the lady working there she just walked away and also I ask her to help me to find the baking soda and she said I cannot help you I'm not allow to help you go And fine by yourself she was so rude and I feel sorry for her just because she lives in United States but she doesn't know how she can be respectful and she act as a villager read more

Very good friendly service with the girl there excellent prices muy amables buenos precios

I've been in the store several times and actually really liked it but I will never enter this $.99 store again because the lady is crazy she thinks my baby's bottle it's going to spill on the floor it's in a bottle lady. read more

I just came from this store like 20 minutes ago and let me tell you very bad Service and so rude!!! They didn't let me take my stroller in there and my baby was asleep so i wasn't gonna leave him alone and to top it off the ladies there thought I was gonna steal from them and I was gonna buy false lashes and they didn't want to sell it to me. Last time I'm ever going there read more

Awesome place that's has a lot of variety. The owner is cool and they do have a lot of items that other .99 cent stores do not have. I found many cleaning supplies that other stores do not carry. Check this place out and save some money. read more

I LOVVEEE these stores! I buy a lot of my groceries here believe it or not. They have tons of canned foods, pasta, sauces, spices, dressings. Their produce is also great! I wasn't expecting so much variety. They have lettuce, spinach, carrots, avocados, potatoes, peppers, radishes, celery, oranges, strawberries, blackberries, pomegranates, and lots of other stuff. Occasionally they even have Basil! I also come here for my household items such as utensils, kitchenware, cups, tupperware, containers, cleaning supplies etc. I come here before I shop anywhere else. read more

As I walked in the owner was very loudly telling the poor woman with children, at the counter, that something she had picked out was $6.99 not .99cents, as the attached price tag, and the store signage, and store name imply. I should have taken that as a huge RED FLAG. I walked around the whole store, and it has mostly the same as every other 99cent/98cent/97cent/$1 stores...etc... They do have some stuff you don't see in the chains, but that stuff is pretty badly priced, definitely a lot of overpriced stuff. (example car floor mats for $35) Anyway, I found a set of rubber car door guards. There were 5 sets, and all were marked $1.99, so I went to cash out and was told, "Oh no these are $5.99 not $1.99 they marked wrong". I told her that there were 5 sets all marked $1.99, and she yelled at me "MARKED WRONG". Well I didn't mark them wrong, they did, so why is she yelling at me. I walked out, but thought about going back in, just on principles, and explaining American laws about bait and switch, and since they were all marked wrong, that they should honor the marked price, but decided that it wasn't worth it. I went to the closest Pep Boys and bought the same exact thing for $2.99 If you value your time and money I would not bother going in this place. A few of the reviews for this store are obviously for a real .99cent Store, the big chain around California, because this store DOES NOT HAVE FRUITS/VEGGIES/MILK, NO REFRIGERATED SECTION AT ALL. The review that stated that it was dirty and cluttered is correct though. Beware......... read more

i stopped by this store cause i was in the area and needed some supplies for a bbq at a friend's house. i've been to other 99 cent stores, and this is not related to the main chain. i was pleasantly surprised to find all i needed for very cheap ... snacks, utensils, bowls, etc. while i was in there, i did see a wide variety of home goods, food, clothing, and toys ... almost everything for 99 cents and everything at what seemed to be wholesale prices! this is too far for me to go for regular shopping, but when i am in the area, i stop by to see if there is anything new that i can pick up for cheap. read more
