Dollar Tree

This is probably the best Dollar Tree location in San Diego. Unlike other locations this store is not run down and has plenty of inventory. The lines are never too long which I appreciate. It is a great place to pick up small holiday items, disposable items such as plates, plastic ware, napkins and cups. They have great little stocking staffers and other items for every holiday. There is also a decent selection of office/​school supplies, gift wrap and kitchenware items.

My fav Dollar Tree location. Friendly customer service. I recently bought a case of glass vases online for a work event. I ended up exchanging them at this location for another style, without a hassle! It was a bit of work on their end but they didn’t seem to mind. Super thankful for making it a painless process :)

Decent dollar store. I like perusing around seeing what I can find for a buck. This time around I scooped up some decent margarita and champagne glasses, an apple slicer, some foil, and potato masher. Most stuff is decent quality considering it’s only a dollar. Tip: you can save a boatload on school supplies here. Paper, folders, pencils, pens, etc. A life saver for back to school time.

An employee, Zayde, made my shopping experience awkward. She greeted everyone walking into the store (as they always do) except for me. Also, when checking out, she asked every single person ahead of me if they would like to donate to a children’s holiday charity. When my turn to checkout arrived, I had an extra dollar in hand, anticipating the same request. This did not happen.
Now, at this point I asked myself if I were being hyper sensitive. So I hung around until it was time for the person behind me to make her purchases. Lo and behold, a donation request!
Now this review is happening. Miss Zayde judged me based on my appearance or… I’ll go there RACE and found me unworthy of a greeting and too destitute to donate to children.
I’m appalled. This needs to be addressed.

They didn’t have a frozen food aisle which was such a bummer! I’ve been to a lot better dollar trees.

My general rules with «Dollar Tree» or other similar stores are as follows:
— If quality and brand name are not priorities, absolutely make this one of your first stops. I have had countless occasions when I found a certain deal here and became upset with myself for buying the same thing elsewhere beforehand for up to 6 times the cost.
— There is no shame in shopping here. The only real difference is that they have an overstock on so many inexpensive items for a place where finding out their prices are less of a concern.
Before quality actually matters, this is a great place to save a ton of money on everyday supplies. Great for quick fixes, small quantities before purchasing bulk, party decorations that will fool anybody, disposable products that are just asking to be bought. You won’t feel bad at all here. If a product somehow doesn’t end up being good, then well, you only paid a buck for it anyways. Big loss. If it happens to be a good product, you’d be an idiot to get the same exact thing elsewhere.
For God’s sake, they have $ 1 Bibles!

I love this Dollar Tree because it is right next to Walmart. Plus it is decent and cleaner than the other ones.

Today at the «Dollar Tree» I stopped by to check out the bargains. It is so awesome you can find anything for a dollar these days.
This location had a nice selection of candy, gift bags, bows, ribbons, balloons, Fourth of July things and all kinds of party type items. Paper and plastic plates, plastic forks, spoons, knives, cups for any party occasion and more.
It also has a nice selection of office supply items, pens, pencils, writing tablets, tape, things like that. They carry a small selection of hardware type items, cosmetic merchandise and kitchen utensil items.
The isles were packed with merchandise; the store was clean and organized. Although this is a dollar store, the dollars add up and you can easily spend fifteen or twenty dollars before you know it.
The store had a steady flow of customers coming and going. I didn’t notice any floor staff and I wasn’t greeted during my entire stay in the store. When checking out the register person was very robotic.
She asked me «did you find everything okay?» and never made eye contact she just continued to ring up my merchandise. When she finished she asked while still looking at the register «will this be all»? She took my money, gave me my change, receipt and package and sent me on my way.
Again with no eye contact, no smile, no confirmation just going through the motions. It’s funny because she did they same process with the customer before me and as I was leaving I heard the same statement” did you find everything okay?” Five Stars for consistency.

The kids and I just love this place! On this day we came here to find gift bags and candy for Christmas. We found really nice and beautiful gift bags of all kinds. The candy selection was awesome too! My kids always bring their hard earned money here to buy the .99 cent toys too!
You can also find awesome kitchen items at this location. This location isn’t big on groceries, but everything else is right on!

When in San Diego, I usually stay at the Four Points by Sheraton that is a mile or so away from this Dollar Tree. Neighboring stores include a Vons and a Wal-​Mart with a Fry’s Electronics right across the street so there are other good reasons to be in the area. It isn’t the largest or the «freshest» Dollar Tree I’ve been to but it has always had a good selection and the staff are friendly and helpful. Parking is a bit of a problem in the early evening and Saturday afternoons but it’s worth looking for a space since you can shop at Dollar Tree, Wal-​Mart, and Vons without moving your car.

You can find some awesome stuff for a dollar. I’ve found awesome books, accessories, loreal cosmetics & school supplies & cute gifts for my students! I LOVE this location because it’s clean & the staff is very friendly & helpful.

I’ve never even stepped foot into a dollar store until my first check-​in here… and I gotta say… I was pleasantly surprised!
Great place to buy party supplies (streamers, center pieces, party hats, banners, gift bags, etc.), gift bags of all sizes, mylar balloons, aluminum trays.
They also have a bunch of other stuff all for a DOLLAR!

Awesome candy isle!
Always well stocked sometimes a bit of a line but the cashiers are always friendly
Plus very convenient parking

It was really busy today, seeing as how it’s valentines day. And I didn’t like how rude the staff was today. Usually they’re fine. But since it was busy, I’m guessing they were just stressed, but still.
The manager needed backup and he was super unprofessional about asking for it, and started yelling the question to one of his employees, «DO YOU HAVE A TILL?!»
Obviously he was taller than everyone but that doesn’t mean to shout over us like a giant. Seriously, walk over there to your employee, she’s like 5 steps away, abominable snowman.
I still go here because the value of a dollar is amazing, but the team service sucks.
No. Just no.

This place definitely constitutes the whole «You get what you pay for» tidbit.
However, being that I like bargains, I tend to fair well in this store because it literally has everything that I really could ever need to survive. From food and kitchen utensils to wrapping paper and helium balloons… this place has your every day needs covered. Now Again, I must say, do not expect QUALITY here. However, if quantity is what you are looking for… for the price, you can afford to get something, twice!
This is a great place to go if you are looking for knick knacks and thing-​a-​majigs. You’ll be surprised at the gems you have the potential of finding in here.
The store is clean and the service is great, (despite the occasional long lines due to understaffing.) All in all, the Dollar Tree truly is, your «One stop shop.»

What’s not to love about a store where everything is $ 1??? I mean they have some awesome finds here. Some of my favorites are river rocks, good for projects, they normally run about $ 4 elsewhere. Aluminum pans in all different size along with spoons to take to BBQs, iphone 5 adapter, party supplies and the list goes one! So much better than the $ 0.99 cent store and this location is great!

Everything is a dollar! Not to be confused with doll hairs.
It’s good for the little quick things you need to grab.
I highly suggest you stop by here to grab candies and snacks before driving down to the drive in to watch some movies, best bang for your buck!

Just had to give this 5 stars based on a DOLLAR! That is almost FREE folks! The danger for me shopping here is that I intend to spend only a dollar or a few dollars and EASILY end up spending at least 10 buckaroos!
I understand that the quality of some things suffer when your paying a low price. However that being said, you can’t beat a buck! I love getting some party and holiday supplies. I also find the most random stuff here. Which can be dangerous to my wallet. Because I think that I will spend a dollar and spend lots more.
Some of my favorite purchases are: aluminum trays for the grill, travel size toiletries, party and holiday supplies, gift bags, and kitchen gadgets.
I can make my fun money stretch a little further when shopping here.

DO NOT Purchase 8×10 picture frames! Like OMG You get what you pay for CHEAPER than CHEAP…
The glass has several issues… Glass is smaller than the frame, this will show when you take the backing off, speaking of the backing, the glass will break here as well.
The little thingy for the picture to attach to the nail will also fall off.
I also purchased 5×7, 4×6, those seem to be ok. no problems. YET
But DAMN 8×10’s are waste of $$$
That’s all…
Mental note purchase frames that cost more than $ 1.00~~~~~
Dollar Store is Awesome for purchasing certain items. Picture Frames are NOT one I would suggest

Just stopped in to pick up some balloons for a friends birthday. After picking out the one’s I wanted I asked one of the cashiers, Edna, if she wouldn’t mind assisting me. She paused and looked at me and said something like «uhhh well… we’re out of helium» with a rude tone and pointed behind me where a small sign on the helium tank was.
Uhhhhh well… I’m sorry I didn’t realize that I had to look at the HELIUM TANK before asking you for help. She was unnecessarily rude and could have just told me nicely.
I ended up buying some candy and going through her line. The disappointment is that there are great buys and prices here (I mean DUH its the dollar tree) but the unfriendly & overall poor service is blatant and doesn’t make customers want to go back to this location.
