Journal Square is full of discount shops, but Lot-Less is at the top of my list. They often have…read morebargains on snacks, clothes, shoes, and household items. They often get name-brand items - that may have been surplus - and knock around 30% - 50% off retail. And there are always gems to be found. In front, you can typically find most of their latest products. So, I often swing by and glance there because those items typically sell out quickly. The staff is generally nice and the head cashier "Khan" is great. However, they don't usually have many cashiers working, so the lines tend to get long during peak hours after work around 4 PM - 6 PM Overall, I always find something at Lot-Less that makes the trip worthwhile.

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.

Nice stuff but priced a bit high, and the customer service is comically bad. I like to go here…read morebecause of the quality of the merchandise in this small shop. Good brands for kids and adults. But literally every time of the 10+ times I've been in, there's been some customer service issue or other. Staff barely acknowledge you much less help you. Sitting next to the cash register and too busy eating to look up, for example. Many give an attitude over basic questions. The other day I went in, and three guys working there were standing around laughing loudlywatching videos on YouTube. The content? Someone making fart sounds! Very nice. They didn't bother looking up to acknowledge anyone entering the store. Don't know who the owner is, but that person should spend more time in the shop and on hiring service-oriented people. Update 3/2019: was just in the store again. No one in the store but 3 male employees, all sitting down talking loudly to each other. How many "f*cks" and "sh*ts" and "n***as" did I hear from them in the 90 seconds I was in the store? Impossible to count, they were used so rapidly and frequently. Unreal.

A young…read moreman came over and asked us if we needed help and I asked him for the style I was looking for but then I noticed that while he was talking to me he was going back to his phone to play a video game. He took my order but obviously distracted. When he came back he didn't come back with the style I wanted (he didn't present a reason) which were the leather ones which during our convo I insisted on. Once I tried them on he didn't bring the right size: I asked for an 8 and he brought back a size 9 AND a fricken 10. He did come back to ask how we're doing as a one helpful sign but that's it. Did I mention we were his only customers? After this poor service we decided to leave without saying anything because I'm sure he didn't notice. I hope you won your game because you lost $135.

All seem to be volunteers for the most part. Very nice selection of older men's suit jackets, goot selection of khakis and work pants. Some good children's clothes, and lots of women's clothing. Nothing that really stood out to me, but I'm sure if you dig deep enough you'd find something. I myself was very pleased. Got some nice button-up shirts and docker's brand khakis. 4 pieces, 20 bucks. Not too shabby!

Closeouts, closeouts, and, oh yeah, more closeouts!…read more It's clear that this store has been around for a long time, and is still doing well. The first time I was here was when I was a toddler in the 90s, and now I'm old enough to see what they have, and yes I've been here a few times. This store has a huge clothing section, and limited selections of pajamas, slippers, undergarments, luggage, bath towels, table cloths, kitchen supplies, and shower curtains. Most of the areas were very organized, but the kitchen supply area was a little messy. But then again, I don't come here for that. So what do I come here for? It depends, but usually it's for pajamas, table cloths, and shower curtains. But I don't get all of them in one visit. Sure, I can get those anywhere, but why here? REALLY LOW PRICES. Other stores would charge higher for these items, including Wal*Mart, but because these are closeouts, you won't expect to spend A LOT on just one item. Regardless of brands and low pricing, I've never had a major issue with anything that I got here. Keep in mind that because this is a closeout store, what they have on the shelves and racks is all they've got. During my recent visit, I needed to see if they had any short-sleeved pajamas as mine were getting close to being worn out. But all I saw were the winter ones, and when I asked to see if they had any, they politely told me that what they receive and stock is all they've got. I was disappointed, but I understood. Maybe they'll have it next time or something. But I didn't walk out empty-handed though. I was able to get a new table cloth at a cool price since my old one was just way too out-dated. Customer service is always fine. Overall it's a really fine store. I will always stop here whenever I'm in the area, particularly when I'm coming back from Ikea or Jersey Gardens Mall via US 1 & 9.
