Shopping in San Diego, California…read more.. I was early for dinner, so I had some time to walk across the parking lot to visit Five Below. I learned about this chain (that we don't have in Hawaii) from Yelpers in Los Angeles. The merchandise (costing five dollars and less, in general) is geared towards the younger generation because they have cute merchandise (like stickers and bag charms), candy, books for adolescents, and items for dorm rooms. I saw many Hello Kitty things... and Snoopy... and Stitch! It was so challenging to resist! I decided on a greeting card for a dollar... and a pack of stickers... because this purchase can fit in my suitcase easily! Gosh... I wish we had Five Below in the 50th State!

First time entering this store in Mira Mesa. It's like shopping at Daiso. You'd pick up and…read morepurchase items you might not necessarily on your shopping list. It's perfect if you need little toys or candy or items for a kid's birthday party or a grab bag or if you have time to browse on a Sunday morning. Ended up buying a couple of items for each of the grandkiddies to add to other omiyage from Vegas and Michael's next door.

I've always liked this store. It's large, the prices are good, and the employees are generally…read morefriendly. However, several issues have been making my shopping experience increasingly uncomfortable. I often feel like I'm being watched. When I walk down an empty aisle, someone seems to appear almost immediately, and they stand very close to me. The self‑checkout area is especially uncomfortable -- the employee there watches me so closely that it feels accusatory. I've never stolen anything in my life; I'm the person who turns in lost cell phones. This is the only store where I ever feel this way, and it's discouraging. The large blue baskets employees push around are another concern. I've been bumped or hit by them more than once. Recently, an item I canceled at checkout was accidentally left in my cart by an employee. I drove back to return it because I didn't want anyone to get in trouble, but the situation added to my frustration. The produce section also needs improvement. Some items are fine, but the potatoes are often old, and the lettuce is frequently wilted. The layout of the produce area makes things worse -- the slanted tables and narrow pathways cause constant congestion, and customers end up bumping into each other. I hope these issues can be addressed. I like this store and want to continue shopping here but thinking of changing to a different store. The overall experience has become stressful. Improving the layout, produce quality, and customer interactions would make a big difference.

Meh, not the best Walmart for me. Some have been cool to visit but this one didnt do it for me…read more I bought a few food items and did get a box of tofu for $2. Also found a specific packaged tuna I like. Don't buy any produce here until our USG can actually get their act together and stop pushing Cylospora and Salmonella outbreaks to you via big box stores. All of the cosmetics here are under lock and key, nice that America has come to the point where everything is locked up. Self check out is a pain and the scanner were super dirty. Like can someone wipe them down?? And why can you not tap your card and need to either swipe or inset. Get with the 21st century please.

What a fun little toy store!…read more It's hard shopping for toys in person these days when really the only options you have are Walmart and Target. I miss the days of Toys "R" Us. But this little toy store is a nice breath of fresh air. It's a smaller store, but it has lots of unique toys for all different ages. We came in here looking for a few small gifts for a school gift exchange and found lots of fun things. My son picked out a magnet toy and my daughter sound some watermelon pink slime. And our 2 year old found a wooden Thomas Train he didn't have. And surprisingly, they had Pokémon cards which my son appreciated. I hope they continue to carry sports and Pokémon cards because it's always fun taking my kids to pick out cards, rather than just buying online. The store manager was super sweet and helped. She explained their exchange policy if a Bruder toy broke and how they'd get the part for free for you. She was also open to suggestions of other toys to carry I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a toy, give them a shot. I'm sure you'll find something. Its also awesome supporting small business

Wow. New in the Promenade. Across from the Apple store…read more Cute specialty toy store in the promenade section of the mall. Great service and selection of toys for newborns to adults. This is a second location from Totally Thomas in Escondido. They do a great job here. Be sure to check them out.

She was very honest and transparent about their deals and special pricing for the beginning and how that would eventually change over time, to make sure we understood everything ahead of time. Additionally, since this was our first time renting storage in awhile, she was AWESOME about showing us so many different units and giving all of her suggestions about what would work best for our needs and space. Thank you again Glenda!

Such a great experience very clean and professional. I highly recommend. The best service.read more

I have been here so many times with the past couple of years and just realized how long over due…read morethis YELP REVIEW is for DAISO!!! I have to say I've been a very long time customers since the very first DAISO opened!!!... What I LOVE to get are: SNACKS: They usually have the best prices and deals for getting snack like PIZZA CHIPS, RAMEN CHIPS, EDAMAME CHIPS, POTATO CHIPS and more! HIDDEN GEM: The okonomiyaki mix is the best here! And it also comes with the sauce. I just add some purple cabbage, mushrooms, eggs and shrimp and it tastes amazing!! Get it while supplies last!!!! The Hokkaido cream BUN is so delicious!! I first discovered it here at DAISO. I fell in love with a Hokkaido bun... There's so many cute things here. Kitchen ware, garden ware, school supplies, make up, seasonal items, etc. they have it all!! ASIAN STYLE!!!! ROCK ON DAISO!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!

As much as I love finding cool things at Diaso, this place is going downhill while the prices are…read moregoing up hill. You can now shop and purchase all of your items without ever being greeted by or even spoken to by a worker. Not good. Visited last night and there were 2 works, both on the floor stocking product. I walked by both and they did not say a word. When it was time to make my purchase, I walked to the counter...waited a couple of minutes to see if someone would offer to help....nothing. There are 2 self-checkout stations. Which is not always the easiest thing to figure out. The lack of customer service is just disappointing.

I love this store. Their customer service is great! They have an Instagram page in which they post…read moresome items and I was able to buy a Chargers crewneck and also a Chargers windbreaker from the 90s! The neck I was able to purchase through Square online and then I went in person to the store yesterday. I love supporting small businesses and this one is family/POC owned! They have a wide variety of items from baseball, basketball, hockey jerseys and more. This place is truly a hidden gem. I would say so far the value of items is pretty good. A lot of them are vintage and they are definitely reselling for much more than what the original item would be but hey... You pay to play right? lol they are also dog friendly, I brought my dog Gigi along with me and we were welcomed so nicely! i'll definitely be continue to shop here. The only thing that sucks is depending on the time of day, parking is terrible. There is additional parking though behind the store.

Both in great condition and clean, so I didn't mind paying the $70. I would definitely recommend them if you're looking for something specific. Categorizing is the easiest way to shop thrift, really appreciated it; made shopping easier.

Wow! The prices are really high! But with the introduction of the low interest credit card the…read moreMilitary Star card I'm not surprised! 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.

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.
