Dee II

Aha. Found what I was looking for. The store is very clean and well organized, the management and staff very polite and helpful. Thanks for helping me out!

I loveeeeee this store. They have everything you need. From home supplies. To kids toys, pet accessories, clothes, shoes, cleaning stuff. There prices are extremely affordable. Only down side is the register people are more elderly and slow but If you want to shop cheap I guess you need to suffer the long line

I rarely come in here, it’s been years. There use to be nothing in here worthwhile except cheap clothing; the store has improved. The other day out of a whim I came in and discovered all the great stuff for a discounted price; well not everything is cheaper than other places and not everything is discounted. But inside is clean and nicely bright. And items are of usefulness. I bought some storage bins, wafers and office supplies. The store has foods that are edible, cheap electronics, toys, cookware, household and miscellaneous items.
The staff are throughout the store and I fount them very helpful. The store has everything organized and reasonably priced right.
The line is often about 5 people long and the cashiers handle it on an average pace.
I do like shopping here for it’s variety.

I love this place, especially during the holidays. Their store front display is nicely decorated, and the inside is clean, organized and well-​maintained. The cashiers are located in the back; there are about 5 – 6 registers. The prices are very reasonable. They sell clothes, toys, holiday/​seasonal items and much more.
*UPDATE: the have expanded. Now, there are two connected stores. When I went in December, one part of the store was selling Christmas prodcts, where was the other side had everyday items, such as clothes, food, and household goods.

I love this store-​they have everything you could want-​and it is cheap. My personal favorites are the t shirts they sell for $ 2.99. I live right around the corner and cannot resist the sweet siren’s song of D & D!!!

I absolutely love this discount store. Perfect location in Astoria. I find about everything I need and more. You can get anything from clothes, soap, to shower curtains & toys. I walk in for one item and leave with $ 60 worth of stuff. This place seriously has everything you need. For the most part, the deals are pretty good & I can’t complain.

The king of discount stores in Astoria, in a place that has lots of them em. Seriously, this place is great. There are tons of cheap household items that you can get here for very low price. Great for getting kitchen utensils, cleaning products, garbage bags etc. They also have snack foods, appliances and even clothing. I’ve gotten things like gym shorts, plain white t shirts ans sweatpants here. If you are driven by price, this is your place, especially if you just want something cheap to tide you over until you feel like spending more money. If you see something you want, you should probably buy it then and there, though, since the inventory seems to change.

Discounts and Deals is convenient and cheap! I stop here often, but occasionally they don’t have what I’m looking for. They have clothing, bathroom and cleaning products, some school supplies, some food items, and some kitchen items. I bought a sponge mop here a few weeks ago, and it broke during the very first use. What can expect though? It was only $ 5.
Come here to find the basics, but don’t expect high quality.

I love this store mainly because they have a lot of cheap items here. My tub has rust at the bottom of it and it is always hard to find bathroom mats. Luckily this location has the longer sized mats so I don’t have to look at the bottom of my god awful tub. They recently changed some of the isles here and added more clothes. I have to say they did have a lot of the leggins that I buy for really cheap. Forget it when they have sales you get even more of a discount. Sometimes if you get there on a good day they have brand named general goods at good prices. The one issue I have is when it comes to waiting on the line to be checked out you never know where the line begins. While there are other Dee Dee stores this one is my favorite.

This place is the bomb. I’m actually surprised that more hip urbanites aren’t all over it.
If the dollar store, Duane Reade, Target and Big Lots had a baby, it would be this. They have a pretty solid supply of stuff too. Nice cutting boards, cooking utensils, clothing basics (like socks, tights, leggings), toiletries, towels, candles, etc. And SOMETIMES they have cute clothes. I actually have a sweater that people think is from Williamsburg and/​or vintage. Nope. From trusty and weird Dee II.

My first stop when it comes to toiletries is Dee II, much commonly referred to in our apartment as D&D. If you just move to Astoria this is the place for you to buy your cleaning products, your first apartment stuff to get you situated until you want fancier stuff.
Besides the toiletries and cleaning products, they have clothes… yea I know it’s really cheap but if you don’t care about quality and not too stylish it could work for you. This past summer I bought so many of those colorful sport bras for only $ 3.99. I pretty much have every color thanks to this store. They have some of your basic tank tops, yoga pants and some dress that are cute. Honestly if you’re going to work out in these clothes you don’t have to be too stylish! It’s a random lot of clothes. Also if you’re in the health profession, they have scrubs!
In the back middle of the store, there’s a bunch of dry goods: pasta for cheap, cookies, crackers and snacks. I discovered my favorite Cheez-​It: Parmesan & Garlic and now they don’t carry them! So if you find something you like, don’t always count on it being there the next time you go. It’s a discount store not the grocery.
The cashiers aren’t the friendliest, but the lines goes along speedily. Warning be aware of who is in front of you, there are some mean customers that will cut you in line! And they act like they don’t hear you when you say excuse me.

My favorite discount store— (other than bargain stop)
Clean and good for a bargain gem
I always get my cleaning and toilet needs there!
nice staff
