99 Cent Discount Center

in spite of all the negative reviews, i love this place. don’t go in thinking of is as a dollar store but rather a discount store and you’ll be happy. you can’t find random or basic items at a cheaper price (i.e. a plain black beanie for $ 2, a pair of decent headphones for $ 5)

Like the previous review stated, nothing I bought was a dollar. But it was all between $ 2 — $ 4. And they had all the random crap I needed: scissors, shower caddy, sponges, toilet brush, and air freshener.
Also, the store had just been remodeled/​reopened and was very neat and clean. Helpful staff too.
$ 20 credit card minimum.

As quickly as I heard the serenades of heaven when I entered the store to witness some high-​quality dollar store goods, the chorus died abruptly at the register:
$ 8.64 for 3 items?! (a package of 12 plastic disposable plates. 1 plastic ticking clock. 1 reel of floss)
After the feeling of being scammed (once again) hit me, I realized that despite the fun offering of stuff, I could never return here again purely based on principle (well, until the day I need shooting fireworks birthday cake candles)
