    I'm not really into stores like this. They have a lot of girly things. Make up, hair stuff, stuffed animals, and bags. All these things are themed for kids. I just cant with this shop. This location, it's not very neat. Its also not cheap. There's one register that I saw so service can be slow. Just not very the type of shopping I do.

    I come here for Sanrio items! Plenty of small Sanrio items available for a good price. Lots of cute coin purses and mini hello kitty pillows - my little loves this store. They have all shorts of other items for sale, located in a busy shopping plaza.

    Cute shop! They've got a great selection of Sanrio accessories. I picked up a Badtz Maru and Hello Kitty bag to hold my golf tees. I love how everything is not only cost-effective (most items are around $1.75) but also cute and practical. They carry everything from Japanese snacks, kitchen items, and garden needs to seasonal decorations, cosmetics, office supplies, and arts and crafts. My girlfriend and I browsed every section, and our favorite was the Sanrio aisle. The customer service here is fantastic. Parking can be limited since this is a popular area.

    This daiso seemed bigger than the one we went to in NY. It was clean, organized and had each section of products correlated with eachother. They also had a huge wall of plushies, pens and pencils, notebooks, snacks and other goodies. We mainly came in to check those items and the pricing was pretty good with sales on the yellow items. Half off those plushy.

    If only I had more space in my carry on, I would have totally bought 5 stuffed animals. It was like stuffed animal GALORE in this Daiso! This was my first time visiting Daiso on the West Coast. I have been to Daiso in NYC, NJ, and Toronto and this was my favorite, by far. This Daiso is huge and has a much larger selection of everything, than all of the other ones I have visited. Daiso is a great place to come for affordable items (and stuffies) ! Most things are less than $10 and you can find many for less than $2.

    Shopping in Mira Mesa, San Diego, California... When I saw that a Daiso was nearby, I had to take a look. My friends, Karen and Ken, in Northern California had found some Tokidoki items and I wanted to get some for my friend at home. Yes, we have three Daiso locations on the Island of Oahu. However, by the time items get to us (and I get to the store), it's usually sold out. That's why, when I saw the Tokidoki magnets, I got one of each! I went through the store (since I was there) and found panda things for my sisters, a Hello Kitty hair clip, and a corn on the cob for me (for breakfast)! Haha! Daiso is still a fun store - even though the prices went up. The minimum price is now $1.75 (not $1.50 any more). The cute merchandise is worth it! Thanks for the free parking, good air conditioning, friendly employees, and kawaii gifts!

    This Daiso is my favorite because it's not too crowded. It's smaller, but I find more cute BTS BT21 options and various characters. I enjoy checking out the random paper bags, cellophane, teacups, snacks, and stationery. Everything is affordable, and your basket ends up filled with all sorts of random cute items.

    I've been trying to organize my life and came here and found so many things to organize my drawers. Everything that doesn't have a specific price in yen is $1.75! Friendly service. So many options. Each Daisy is different but some of the same things. I found these waterproof cases I'm obsessed with and use to organize my bikini drawer I bought them all at every location! Tip all sales are final no refunds or exchanges.

    Foot socks...for chairs and tables!!! Wow!!!

    You need at least an hour if you're browsing this store. A wonderful slice of the Japanese culture. Practical and well designed products highlight the ingenuity of the Japanese. And very economical as well. Appeals to all ages. The snacks are also delicious!!!

My husband raved about the superb customer service offered by the kind staff working at the Dollar Tree Mira Mesa, three lanes were open and the staff were friendly and hard working. Exemplary service was offered by cashier attendant Diego. He was courteous, timely, and made my husband feel welcome. This service really seems to stem from the top down.

The store manager Johnny also modeled to all how a leader should be. He made sure his staff were comfortable and assured them that their breaks would be coming.

Grocery Outlet is not a normal grocery store. It's a co-op where the central office opportunistically buys up close outs, over productions, etc, then offers their customers at local stores great prices. Because of this practice, they can offer their customers great prices, but it's always hit or miss. Like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates, "you never know what you're going to get." You may find a great price on a brand name item that you love, and, if so, buy it up right away because they likely won't be restocking once it's gone. They also offer their own store branded products. The ones I've tried have been good quality. Over the past two years I've noticed that they seem to be offering less variety, less customer service, and the shelves aren't as well stocked. Today's visit was especially disappointing. I went specifically to buy an item featured in their ad-- front page, no less-- and couldn't find any. When I asked each of the two people I found working there, no one knew what I was talking about. It's not that they had sold out; they just never had any and didn't even know they were supposed to. If this were a one time occurrence, I'd let it slide, but it's happened much too often lately. It seems to have become a pattern. I very much resent burning expensive gasoline for an advertised item, just to find that the store not only never had any stock, but the sparse staff didn't even know that it was advertised. Come on GO. You can do better.

    I've deliberated about MCX Miramar for a long time, and how I should rate it…read more On the one hand, it's an MCX just like you would expect at any major base. So there aren't any issues there. On the other hand there has always been something about this MCX that has been a little off to me. This weekend I finally put was able to put my finger on what exactly that was. The first thing about this MCX is that it is oddly laid out. The building is wider than it is deep, and this lends itself to a strange feeling layout to the store and it's various departments The other thing is the registers are strangely located, and there are very few of them, so even when the MCX isn't very busy it takes a while to get through the checkout line. The last thing is the hours. Maybe they're exactly the same as other bases that I've been on, but the hours here seem very strange. They don't seem to make a lot of sense, and they seem to close very early. Also, the barber shop here it closes at unreasonable hours all the time. The complex itself is also not super convenient to get to, and it's pretty spread out once you get inside of it, with a lot of medians between the different avenues and lanes you're going to try to get to. So yeah, not the best MCX not the worst MCX.

The pricing is not geared toward the lower ranks but rather the officers. Or they can do layaway if that is still offered. Even though it's tax free it is still high. Prices are a lot better at Burlington, TJ Maxx, Ross, or Kohl's as far as home decor and clothes are concerned. On the upside this place is huge and there is a large selection of clothing, household goods, televisions, small appliances, etc. It is very bright and clean. They have started to display Christmas decorations and trees. But not all have pricing. I was shocked that the ones that had the stickers were ridiculously overpriced!! A cute wooden snowman about 5" was $24.99! What? Please allow me to go to the thrift shop! There is a huge collection of designer purses/bags like Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Frye, Brahmin, Patricia Nash, etc. I was shocked to see LV there! Sorry but I cannot see myself buying with my hard earned money an LV purse at that exorbitant price. My money can be better spent elsewhere but not knocking anybody else that has lavish taste (like my sister ) and can easily afford it! It's very clean, bright, and organized. When I was peering at the plethora of designer purses (hubby was getting nervous-LOL!) and internally gasping at the high prices I noticed 2 of the employees watching me. Neither came over to offer assistance. It felt more like they were judging me just by their demeanor & body language. I can afford to buy one of these luxury bags but refuse to waste my money just for some semblance of status. I prefer to bargain shop so unless they have a great sale here I doubt that I would return.
