The cheapest we got was a small lint roller for $1.79 everything else was higher for generic and off-brand items. Mylar balloons were $5 each and that did not include any helium to blow them up. The store is really dingy and messy. As some others have noted, the one redeeming section is the craft area if you need some things for school science projects they have quite a bit. Otherwise you're better off going to Target or 5 below for better prices, better quality, and a cleaner store.

The dream is still alive, at least the 99 cent version, in one of the most gentrified parts of the…read moreever changing downtown Jersey City. For the most part, there is always a decent bustle of people going in and out of here at all times. I would know because, I'm one of them. Like all 99 Cent stores in NYC, this place looks as if it's been around for a long time. The signage is consistent with all the other 99 cent spots and the lack of ventilation (stale air) gives this place the proper feel that all locals will recognize from nostalgia alone. Service isn't the fastest, but I would assume no one comes here for this. What I do come here for is the random finds that this place tends to have and others don't. Usually I go in with a mission: find a charging cable, a temporary household good, or something I knew that wouldn't last me long and was good for the pinch. I usually end up walking out of here with a few more items than I anticipated for. That's the mark of a good store, me thinks.

You have to love Price Tag, I've been going to Price tag since the late '90s. I used to go to their…read moreold location before they moved and I've been a loyal customer for a very long time. Price tag is part of a trio of stores that sells off price boutique closeouts. The other two are Barney's bargain stores in Hillside and Bloomfield. They didn't call the Bayonne location Barney's because there was already another store called Barney's up on Avenue C. That store closed many years ago. Price tag and the other two locations have a rotating series of stock. Some weeks they have women's, some week they have men's, and sometimes they have Children's. You can get very expensive shoes and clothing at a discount.$200 SAS shoes? You can get them for $50 or less. They have lots of different brands and things change all the time. Sometimes, though, they get things that don't move very quickly. Today I saw some hilarious socks that were for New years 2000. Call them New vintage, I'm sure someone will pick them up. You can always count on Price tag when you need an evening bag, shoes, or a wallet. They tend to get a lot of those items. They are only open Thursday through Sunday. Some of the people who work there seem very disinterested, but the two Natalies who work on Sunday are the nicest. Check it out, you never know what you will find.

I guess the other comparison is like a micro version of a Walmart, just more expensive in every way. There's some clothing here for the local residents to peruse through, but I'd recommend getting your home supplies elsewheres - it's 20-30% more expensive than at the Targets within a mile or so of here. If you have no where else to go, you have no choice, I suppose, and you can find everything from storage, mops, cookware, microwaves, clothing, soap, and more here. The cashier's in the far back, by the way. Street parking is free Sundays and after 6p all other days.

They do have a Facebook page that you can follow to get a glimpse of what they're stocking. I recently went on a Fifty cents Thursday, and everything was already falling apart or taken out of their boxes, which is to be expected. There are still a few gems to find but be careful when paying since pricing is a bit subjective especially when priced per item. You can always ask the friendly staff if you need help.

All day long they use a loudspeaker announcing sales that is disturbing people living next door and across the street . They have been asked many times to not play the loud speaker but they do not care and they also clutter the street with clothes that make a depressed area look even more horrible . They are being selfish and don't take into account that other stores don't ( so far ) hawk their products with loud speaker on the street. There is enough noise in the city as it is and we don't need more . Please don't but their products !! Thank you . PS . I don't give them a star but otherwise the post doesn't send

This is a great place to stock up on snacks and household cleaning products. Cards. Party supplies. You name it! I picked up doggy waste bags, 3 rolls for a dollar. Dog bones, $1. Dog treats, $1. Laundry detergent $3. Dish soap, $1. Cocoa Butter, $2. You never knew you needed Midol but for $1, you figure, "one day I might have PMS and this is good to have". It goes without saying that some stuff is really cheap but be sure to check the expiration dates on food items (because some things are too good to be true.)

The greyish brunette woman, older in age, that I gave my donations to opened up the bins outside, dug through and picked out the worst items, including a clean pair of underwear to hold and shame up in my face in public like a dog and scolded me (my mistake, I missed some small items during sorting, but I don't think harassment is acceptable). The entire experience was humiliating and meant to humiliate. She rolled her eyes at valuables like designer shoes and large brass candelabras inside the bins. I had some heavier bins. Neighbors unrelated to this organization off the street helped me while this woman said "we don't do that here" (I grew up Christian, and these are not Christian values). She looked up and down at me and asked if I "even had children's clothes" and I said "I didn't think so." Whatever baby stuff was in there was high quality and unused. She locked eyes with me for a while scowling. She rolled her eyes later at the designer diaper bag with tag still affixed. I left crying. There are many other more reputable places in the area that are kind, more down to earth and cater towards middle-class clientele. I like the ones near Central Ave and the homeless shelter definitely needs goods. I recommend not going here and supporting this business. If you choose so, you put donations by their side door.

The employee also wrapped up my gifts in individual bags (which I bought there, so cute) for me and added tissue paper, tied a little bow to them as well which took a load off my shoulder as I rushed home that day.

So I selected a delicious Olive Blossom & Hyacinth, Amazing! And on the way to the register, passed the "guys" table and found a perfect space-themed puzzle for their young son. I asked the staff if I could get individual gift bags and in a blur of ribbons and smiles, they removed gift prices & I was handed two BEAUTIFUL gifts bags, and informed "The puzzle's in the larger bag." This whole process, I kid you not, took under 5 minutes & the dumbstruck look on my husbands face when I returned to the car in 5 minutes w two perfect gift bags was MY gift! LOL ...
