99 Cents Only Stores Reviews

99 Cents? Hardly. No longer. I scoured my local store to find something at that price with no luck. The signs should be removed and the stores renamed as the name 99 cent only no longer applies. I do better at my local Walmart.

Nothing is being done about stolen carts, there are no carts to shop with in Henderson Nevada, Boulder Hwy and Marks St, I'm disabled and use a cane, I couldn't finish shopping with an arm basket and my cane, I felt like I was going to fall, it's discrimination to have no shopping carts for the disabled and seniors, I complained, I was told corporate won't help, I'm very upset at this company because some of us get one shot to shop in the 110 degree weather, how do I shop with a small arm basket, YOU DON'T. I hope no senior falls because of this fixable issue. Place new baskets with new locks or no customers.

I used to shop at .99 cents only on a regular basis. I still shopped at other stores but .99 cents only was on my regular rotation. I'd spend from $20 to $60. The prices started to go up and I started to see $2.99 and $3.99 and now it seems that most of the items are not .99 cents. I did read the CEO's statement and perhaps they are still making a ton of money because of the higher prices even with many loyal folks dropping off. I do think they should change the name and I think his explanation is poor of why they are keeping the name. The entire model has changed so the name should reflect that. I stopped patronizing the store a few years ago. I went in this past week just to see and was not impressed. Also, I see that the store responds with the same stock answer to all inquiries. There is no need to respond to this so if there is a response you know it is an auto responder and they do not even read customer concerns.

Yesterday On August 19 I went to 99 Cents Only store Located at 12480 Amargosa Rd. Victorville CA. 92392. It was 12:55pm and the cashier on the receipt it says his name, **. He did NOT have his mask on. He had his mask on his neck and he coughed on his hands and touched! All my items and food I bought with his germs on his hands! COVID IS NOT OVER! Please Make sure to tell him to NEVER do that again and keep his mask ON. Sorry but if he or other cashiers don't have a mask on next time, I'll leave and won't be going to the 99 Cents only store no more.

I used to love this store. They claimed, through their name, that everything was 99-cents only. The last time I went shopping there, I saw Items as high as $17.00. That's $16.00 more then the name of their store claims it should be. What irritates me the most is in response to their misleading store name, they say they are keeping it because it is how they are known. So my response is if that's the case then they need to stay true to what their name claims and stick to 99 cent only pricing. Otherwise they are making false claims which is deceitful and unethical. If anything they can do what prince did...or the artist formerly known as prince. Give them a symbol and call it the store formerly known as the 99 cent only store! How hard is that? Come on!

I used to shop at the 99 Cent Store on Fairfax and Wilshire because I could get great deals on name-brand items and they actually cost, wait for it...99 Cents. Now, hardly anything in there is 99 Cents. And I say hardly anything, but what I mean is, 99% of what's sold is not 99 Cents. It's a fraud. If traveling right up the street to this store is more expensive than sitting at home on my laptop, phone or tablet buying from Walmart, then why bother...and I don't anymore. This store is now one big price gouging entity. You pick up something and it's $5.99, $6.99, $2.99, $3.99 and I even saw several items that were $9.99. No thank you...Done with the 99 Cent store. Greed rules the day, and the 99 Cent Store has fallen in line.

Lupe from 99 Cents store in Newport rd didn't give me my full discount. My coupon was three dollars off of every 25bucks spent online app. So I told her I had my coupon to stop at 25, she kept in adding my stuff at thirty bucks. I told her I wanted to use coupon on app. She continues to do my groceries past fifty. Then I told her she was supposed to add it 25 then do again. She laughed and said she did know. I didn't like that she wasn't willing to fix her mistake. After all even six bucks is good because the store prices are way up to market price now.

I am a longtime customer of 99 Cents Only in Southern California. For years, I appreciated their genuinely lower prices. I was not perturbed when they offered more and more items at $2.99 or $3.99 that could not be realistically sold for 99 cents. But in the past few months, the chain has hosed their customers with STEEP, DRAMATIC price increases, copying Dollar Tree. It is I believe opportunistic and beyond their true cost increase resulting from supply chain, inflation, fuel prices, etc.

Just a few years ago, I used to visit two 99 Cents Only stores a couple of times per week to find bricks of Maxwell House for $1 each, 22 oz. of Oscar Mayer deli sliced meats for $1, 14 oz. Johnsonville Brats for $1, 18-count Yuban and Gevalia K-cups for $1, 12 oz. bags of McCafe and Gevalia for $1, Sutter Home sparkling wine for $3.99, 12-16 oz. of Oscar Mayer bacon for $1 and on and on.

I purchased the cinnamon product on 10/21/21. After returning home the next day I twisted off cap the product was not sealed and appeared to be tampered or opened before my purchase. Maria advised me today 10/26/21 that I could not return because it’s passed the 9 day policy… Unfortunately I did not retain the receipt and was unable to present. The product is clearly labeled and there is similar canisters for sale today. I do believe the reckless disregard for items unsealed possibly tampered with being sold is a violation of all applicable laws. Why is the 99 cent store in Costa Mesa allowed to sell items unsealed then refuse to take them back in a timely manner??

Not all ads have real price. Prices in store are different than on the ads. So why the do. Fake ads. Please be honest. I started showing people I know the truth and talk about it. To open people eyes.

I recently moved to the San Diego area and have patronized the 99 Cents Only store in Encinitas, CA. My overall experience has taught me that shoppers must sacrifice quality of goods and services in order to achieve low prices. Fruit and vegetables are on their last legs and must be consumed within 24-48 hours or else discarded. Selection varies from day to day; I often find that the store is out of items that I need. But the worst aspect of this establishment is its checkout lines. There usually is only one cash register open, and lines can be up to a dozen customers waiting to check out. On one particularly annoying occasion I asked for another checkout line to be opened. No one appeared. Fortunately an Aldi outlet is located nearby. Checkout service at Aldi is more rapid, the store is cleaner and better organized, and food prices are competitive with 99 Cents Only.

My experience would have been great until a lady passed me while shopping with her dog sitting in the shopping basket where people sit items or children. I thought I went to the 99 Cent store, not Petsmart where I would expect to see pets... And one aisle away, the dog made a high pitch noise and started to bark. How can this be sanitary?

I received a direct email from the company advertising cherries for 99 cents a pound. I get to the Venice store and they are 1.99 a pound. You didn’t need the email or join a club or app. Bait and Switch defined! They got you in the store with the direct marketed email and then when you get to the store it is a dollar a pound higher. Bait and Switch! I have pictures of the email and picture.

Hi. I recently went to my local 99 Cents Only store because cause I was craving a bag of chips and was told you no longer sell any sort of chips or crackers.. I later found out water is also not available any longer.. Can you please tell us all why?

99 Cents store is cheaper than the market, and mostly all other stores, the 99 cent stores now receive higher ticket items. That's why everything is not 99 cent, and the 99 cent store get new items every day, thanks for letting me share.

99 Cents Store Only should change their name to "Not really 99 Cents Anymore". Over the past few years this store has upcharged their prices and cost more than Wal-Mart on exact or dinar products. I use to shop at the 99 Cents Only store for their 99 cents prices on name brand items, but now I see those same items going for $2.99 & up, even though I had bought that item a while back for only .99 cents. What gives?! And like others have said they don't put a price sticker on most items so when you check out your bill will be doubled the amount. I have told the cashier never mind on items due to the false advertisement. Soon nothing will be 99 cents, I have watched countless items get a price increased so I no longer buy those items from them and find them cheaper at other stores, how ironic that the 99 center store only is actually more expensive than Wal-Mart...I've given most of my business to Dollar Tree since they (so far) are true to their name.

This store used to be full of great deals that were a dollar. Now this company is trying to scam people by raising prices on items that you can get at Walmart for cheaper. I have written to this company and the email that they sent back is very generic which is the exact same thing they reply to everyone on Facebook. This store is not worth going to and will soon go out of business. I know many people who know longer shop here and when I have gone it is empty. Greediness does not win. Bye bye, “so called” 99 cents only!

I was turned away at the door because l was wearing face shield and no mask. Earlier in the week I shopped there without any problems. I left and went to another 99 Cents Only store and they had no problem with just my face shield. I will never go back to that store again without a written apology that I can show to the nitwit at the door.

I have photos, items were not priced nor any stickers or labels indicating products higher than a value of 99 cents. Yet other products were mixed in with labels indicating $2.99 or some products mixed in that also did not have a label but were definitely 99 cents and they were trying to upcharge and said that they dont have to label products that are higher than 99 cents. They are allowed to charge whatever price it rings up for which is false advertising. I did not grab any products that were more than 99 cents in an 99 cents only store because the labels clearly indicated to me that they had a higher value price. If the product itself did not have a higher price label on the shampoo bottle like the other ones did and they were mixed in with bottles that also did not have price tags why were they up charging something that was clearly supposed to be 99cents otherwise?

Large variety of produce at great prices. Everything from pet supplies, storage and kitchen items, office supplies, gift cards, party supplies, spices and canned goods, cookies and crackers, all kinds of chips and nuts and much more!

The store manager was yelling at my disability son and me because my son opened a toy box! Worst customer service ever! If the manager treating the customer this way how about other employees! My son special needs student and under medication! He was crying and shaking when we left the store because of what the manager did for us! So disappointed!

Went to .99 cents only store at 35th ave and Peoria in Phoenix, AZ. 1st the name is very misleading as not everything is only .99 cents! Yes most items are not marked. But those without labels are assumed to be .99 cents, but never is. This is not my 1st time with this scenario, the other time I chalked it up to the store not caring about business essentials from their customers! In fact that IS CORRECT! I again for a product milk, this was the only one of its kind on the shelf and there was no other of that brand or flavor or anything similar on their shelf.

I just want to say I appreciate the store, 99 cents products, even 2.99 and 3.99. I noticed all the poor reviews are from the west coast. Here in Texas, we appreciate good values. The produce is generally fresh. Personal hygiene products, cleaning supplies, pet food, decorations, all 99 cents. Of course if you want to go get a case of beer or a name brand large box of cereal, it’s not going to be 99 cents. But it’s still going to be cheaper than what you would pay at a retail store. Thank you for providing these cheaper opportunities.

I get a stuff for New Year's but my family already get a lot stuff too. I decided return some of my stuff. When I went to the store the manager don’t want to get my stuff any or exchange for something else. This is not good for customers. 3612 sunset Blvd store.

The word is out and the 99 Cents Stores are history and welcome the new name to this corporation. It's now called 99 cents and up! Thank god Dollar Tree is expanding and has better products than 99 cents and up. The only thing they don't have are the vegetables but for the poor quality of the produce and high prices you are best going to your local produce market and pay the same as you would at the 99 cents and up stores. Go dollar tree where everything remains a dollar and not surprise you with unexpected amounts at the cashier. Charles ** Sales Executive Kroger southern division

-- Delano, CA 99 Cents Store -- The other day I bought a watermelon. When I cut it in half, I noticed white milky lines by the seeds. I read online, not to eat this watermelon. Today, I bought a bag of oranges, one of the oranges already had mildew, the other oranges were very soft and looked like they were turning green. I was to trusting and figured the Store would not sell bad oranges, thus I did not check the oranges. What is going on? Is this the norm?

Yesterday, I found a bag of bell peppers with one damaged pepper rotting away in it. The cashier agreed to sell the bag to me for $1 instead of $2. There used to be long lines at the cash register, but they have hired more employees, and it helps. My only pet peeve there (on Prater/McCarran), is the shopping baskets! They are scattered in the parking lot, taking spaces, and sometimes there are none at the store! Please gather the shopping baskets more often!

I have been shopping at those location in Rialto CA for at least 14 years. I know the staff and I am always cheerful and kind to them. On this day I had a cashier verbally attack me, call me out or my name and come to me chest to chest all of the fact I went to speak to a manger about the security guard who verbally accosted and antagonized a senior citizen woman who was clearly having a hard time. She became very upset and belligerent and ignorant because the lady ran her foot over with her walker.

I have not seen your fruit scene shopping bags at your Dallas store for the last couple weeks. Where are they as I have been buying this quality bag for years? They are very well constructed and last forever. Whereas the other shopping bags that you sell are garbage. I bought one a couple weeks ago and the handles tore away after the first time I loaded the bag up. I had to return it to the store for a refund. You had a very good high quality bag that lasted forever so I do hope that it hasn't been discontinued by your store in favor of some cheaply made Disney bags. Yes, I love Disney but in this case your fruit scene bags are vastly superior to the Disney Bags. Load them both up over and over again and see for yourself which is the BETTER bag by far. Thank you.
