It's more of a mixture of a Daiso and 99 Cents store, I think? Maybe a bit better than 99 Cents store? And I didn't see anything for 99 cents. Ha ha Definitely not in this economy. It's fun to look around. I got some candies and a couple little items and left. Cost me $12 altogether.

It's got everything you didn't know you needed and things you definitely didn't need, but somehow you end up buying anyway. A step above the Dollar Tree, but still just a tiny hop away from the chaotic energy of Ross. You go in for a pack of gum, leave with a Bluetooth speaker, a stress ball shaped like a unicorn, and some random glitter pens. Classic Five Below.

There are many conversion charts to inform you of the prices. Pretty much like other Daisos but maybe a tad smaller. The store seemed organized and stocked well. Wide range of the typical Daiso goods for home, office, school, seasonal items, gifts and more. There are many cute licensed products with cute characters on them. (Ie. Hello Kitty, My Melody, Disney etc) On this purchase, the hubby got organizational items and I got kitty cat microfiber cleaning slippers for the restroom. There was a cashier and self check-out available along with the supervisor nearby. Both the cashier and supervisor were friendly. We opted to check-out with the cashier. Our visit was on a weekend late afternoon. Overall a great experience. 4 stars.

I've known about Grocery Outlet for a long time but somehow never stepped inside. I guess I always…read morehad that stereotype in my head that if it's cheap, the quality probably isn't great. This past weekend, my husband and I were out for a walk and ended up on Goldenwest. We stopped by JONS Market just to grab a few things to make homemade salsa, tomatoes, canned tomato sauce, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. After checking out, we noticed there was a Grocery Outlet in the same plaza , so we figured... why not finally take a look? And honestly? I owe Grocery Outlet an apology They carry plenty of well-known brands, and the prices are actually cheaper, not because things are about to expire either. For example, the same canned tomato sauce we bought at JONS was $1.99, but at Grocery Outlet it was only $0.79. Huge difference. I was also shocked (in the best way) to find four different Ning Chi chili sauces (Famous Taiwanese Chili sauce) , all for just $2.99 each, that went straight into the cart. They even had A-Sha dry noodles, a 12-pack for $4.83. For comparison, I once bought a 5-pack at H Mart on sale for $6.99 and thought that was a good deal Other finds: * Arizona green tea (my favorite) for $0.89 - the cheapest I usually see elsewhere is $0.99 * Eggs for $0.99 a dozen (H Mart sometimes has organic eggs at this price too, but only on sale) * Lipton black tea bag, 50-count for $1.99 * A surprisingly large alcohol section with lots of choices The store itself isn't huge, but they carry a little bit of everything: cookware, cleaning supplies, household items, OTC meds, snacks, drinks, alcohol, sauces, meat, cosmetics, shampoo, hair dye, skincare, you name it. I did compare meat prices briefly. Overall, Shun Fat Vietnamese, supermarket market still tends to be cheaper for meat, while H Mart is pricier but usually better quality (worth it when there's a good sale). Personally, I actually found Grocery Outlet easier and more fun to shop than Trader Joe's. With TJ's, a lot of items are store-brand, so you don't really know if it's a good deal unless you've tried it before or seen reviews online. At Grocery Outlet, since many items are name brands, you can instantly tell whether the price is good. They do carry some unfamiliar brands too and those are usually even cheaper. Overall, Grocery Outlet has a lot of character. If you enjoy bargain hunting and stretching your grocery budget, this place is kind of addictive. Walking through the aisles really felt like a treasure hunt. I'd personally describe it as "the Ross of grocery stores" . Grocery Outlet 15412 Goldenwest St, Westminster, CA 92683

This was my first time ever visiting this grocery store, though I used to come here back when it…read morewas Fresh & Easy during my college days. I only stopped in because we were already next door at Harbor Freight and I needed a few things for dinner, so I figured I'd give it a shot for convenience. Honestly, the best way I can describe it is very much 99¢ store vibes... but with grocery store prices. From the layout to the way the shelves were stocked and the overall feel of the store, that's the impression it gave me. Pricing felt pretty average to me. Im making a greek style salad as a side for dinner tonight so I grabbed three of their medium Mexican cucumbers for $1, and red onions were $1.49 per pound, which is pretty standard grocery pricing these days. The biggest downside, though, was checkout. Only one cash register was open, and the line was long enough that I almost put my items back and walked out to go to a different grocery store up the street. That alone made the experience feel a lot less convenient than I expected. It wasn't terrible, but it also didn't wow me. It worked for a quick stop, but I'm not sure it would become a regular grocery spot for me.

Target runs, Target pickups, and honestly Target in general are a weekly must for me. This Target…read more at Westminster Mall is a two story store, and once you're familiar with what's upstairs vs. downstairs, it makes a huge difference in how you park and shop. If I'm only grabbing a few things from the main (downstairs) floor, I'll park downstairs and be in and out. But if I'm doing a full shopping trip that requires both floors, I always park upstairs. In my experience, there's usually more parking up there, and it just makes everything easier. My personal system: park upstairs, grab a cart, go downstairs to start my shopping, then head back upstairs to finish, check out, and exit all on the top level. It saves time and avoids unnecessary back and forth. Just a little tip that's worked really well for me. I also want to shout out one employee who always helps check me out, she is seriously the sweetest. She's incredibly kind and patient whenever I'm price matching or price checking and never makes me feel rushed. I've dealt with other cashiers in the past who seemed irritated by price matching, so her attitude truly stands out. I didn't catch her name this time, but I know I'll see her again, and next time I do, I'll make sure to mention her by name here. She really goes above and beyond and is just so dope. Overall, this Target is clean, well organized, and pretty well stocked most of the time. The only real issue I notice is during Christmas, when things sell out quickly but that's kind of expected. Other than that, I genuinely love this Target and will keep coming back.

If you find something on a good day, you'll find some good value, but for some reason, I haven't had much success finding that amazing bargain hunt at this location. The parking can get a little chaotic because the strip mall also contains a marshals, five below, and a grocery store. Additionally, there are a handful of restaurants within that same strip mall. The staff is always super nice, the lines can get really long, but they move fairly steadily. A nice location to browse and spend some time, and it's convenient that you have other stores right next-door that you can browse through as well.

This was by far the worst customer service experience I've had at a TJ Maxx…read more I came in to return a necklace that still had all of the original tags attached. I had paid in cash, but the cashier who originally helped me forgot to give me my receipt back. Instead of trying to understand the situation or offer any helpful solution, the manager immediately approached me with an attitude and was rude from the start. What disappointed me most was that she refused to acknowledge that the missing receipt was caused by an employee's mistake, not mine. Rather than handling the situation professionally or showing any empathy, she made the entire interaction unnecessarily unpleasant. In the end, I had to settle for store credit because she was unwilling to work with me. A good manager should know how to de-escalate situations, listen to customers, and lead by example. Unfortunately, this manager did the opposite. Her communication, attitude, and overall approach to customer service left a very negative impression. I shop at TJ Maxx often, but after this experience at the Fountain Valley location, I'll think twice before returning. Manager position should be given to individuals who are highly trained in customer service not someone who just rolled out of the bed looking like she don't even wanna be there. Absolutely terrible.

This location is far better and more convenient compared to others I've been to. The layout is…read moreclean and easy to navigate, and the aisles between the racks are well maintained. For a warehouse of this size, that's not easy to keep up with--I've worked in and managed warehouses before, so I definitely notice and appreciate that. The only downside is the snack selection. Compared to other locations, there are significantly fewer options, which was a bit surprising. Not sure why that is. Overall, it's a great place for buying in bulk, and the organization and cleanliness really stand out.

Definitely a good spot if you're buying in bulk--tons of options for meats, seafood, and party-sized items. We ended up grabbing shrimp, scallops, hot dogs, and beef for the grill. That said, the experience in the cooler section was frustrating. We needed help identifying a cut of meat because the pricing area had multiple different labels and prices, but one of the employees basically refused to help and just told us to "look over there." Because of the confusion, we accidentally picked up two different cuts thinking they were the same and only realized it later at checkout. Overall, decent selection and useful if you're cooking for a group, but customer service could definitely be better. 3/5.

The few times I've had an issue, they took care of it right away. - The prices are reasonable for most items. - The selection is wide. My main criticisms would be that 1) they have limited dressing room space for a department store of their size, and the fitting rooms are usually full of tried-on items, and 2) that employees are required to give you a small sales pitch for the Kohl's credit card each time of purchase. Otherwise, it's usually a great experience. I can regularly find items on sale for my whole family.

When it was my turn to move up, Vickie ( the employee) called out "can I help you?" In a not so friendly tone. I proceeded to walk up to her counter and her frown felt through her face mask.

I guess she wasn't having a good day, then I proceeded with the awkward interaction of showing her my QR code and giving her my Amazon return. I can't help but feel bad for her. Anyway, I love this location at Bella Terra. There's plenty of parking on the Edinger lot. The store always seems clean and uncluttered. They're always having sales and you feel like you're getting a great deal.

Haven't visited this TJ Maxx location in ages!! First off,…read moreit's a fairly large store! The racks are all well managed and all the merch is organized. I will say that the racks are fairly bare, which is not the norm for a Tj Maxx. It's giving Ross vibes as far as inventory goes (iykyk) They have a pretty decent skincare section and homegoods items. Their sale items are a bit pricier than I've seen at other locations. It may have just been that they've been really busy and waiting for more inventory. If you're in the area, still a solid location to do some browsing and possibly find a great bargain on something!
