99 Cents Only Stores in the city San Diego (2024)

Sh

I use to love this store but now there are more items over $0.99 than $0.99.

Su

They were out of some of the items we generally stop and get but well be back and try again. Generally a good store.

Li

I work here so I should know,, we try our best to keep it real clean. All my coworkers are pretty nice and I enjoy all their company, Im sure theyre just as nice to customers aswell. The only flack I can give us is that the sticker prices can very but that doesnt have to do with, its the producer Im sure.

ab

I know its just a 99 cent store most people wont give it to me reviews but this place is pretty good very clean staff is pretty helpful and always courteous and kind its a quick place to go grab some stuff if you need it for a great deal I personally dont get groceries there but they also have food items clothing seasonal a bunch of balloons decorations hygiene but also remember its $0.99 and up so theres a lot of items in there for various prices

Pa

Great store, great deals. I went in to buy aluminum foil and found so many low prices on everything including food that I filled the shopping cart . Good place to help stretch your money. Fantastic !!!!!

Ma

They had everything in stock that I was looking for. Today there were plenty of cashiers open. Easy, Quick shopping - today!

Ly

Went to Zappys pizza and 99 cents to get batteries...

Jo

This is a good store. The selection is great. How do you beat the prices? Most items are $0.99 and they have many items you pay a lot more other places.

Te

Im an avid shopper for these stores but its just disappointing to see these things when you come to your nearest cheap store to get what you need for your home and they try and trick you like this and we are supposedly not doing price fixing... Well there goes my respect for these stores...

LI

Nice variety of items! Helpful, courteous staff!

cl

I love this store. Well stocked. Excellent pricing on most items. Only thing is it gets so busy the lines get long. But still excellent service.

T.

Always well stocked with a variety of items

Huge selection of items at ridiculously low prices. Im always shocked how little I spend here for how much I get. Before going to the hardware or grocery store I always check here to see if they have what I need first, they dont always but if they do, you can bet itll be the best price! Almost everything is 99¢ but if it isnt itll be clearly marked 79¢, $1.99, etc so just check before you throw it in your cart. For two full bags of items Ill typically spend $20 which would cost me easily $50-80 at other stores. Keep in mind its a discount store so its usually busy and lines can be long but its worth it!

He

Been going to 99 cent store ever since they opened in different areas and as always great place to buy cleaning products, batteries that last just as long as anywhere else you might buy them. Also good for tinfoil, baggies bags etcetera cant go wrong here its only 99 cents. Oh, great prices on holiday decorations!

Lo

I was about to buy almost $75 worth of product and there was one line open and it was really long and I realized thats why I dont come to the 99 cent store cuz its never fast getting in and out but Dollar Tree however is a lot faster getting in and out because when you need another cashier theyll call one not just let people stand in line its not more important to get product on the floor that it is to take care of the people who come in and buy the product

Ka

Love these gloves because they really help keep my hands nice while I wash the dishes in hot water. Everything except the gloves were a dollar but there is two gloves per bag so every item was technical a dollar. These are my busy buys. The staff is always very kind and helpful. Hardworks, they need to get paid more dealing with angry people all day.

Ma

It is not a store of 99cts it is a store of 99cts and up.. you can not even find the cans to 99cts. when in another store you can find them up to 79cts each or 2 for 1.00. they need to change the name to 99and up......I know that some things that are in the store are more than $ 1.00 and it is worth paying them for that I continue to go but the name does not go with the concept that before was had of the stores of (.99cts store Only). Thought that 🙄99cts up where you can hire more products from .99 to more.Think about it for a minute and you will see.🤔

De

They have definitely stepped up their products... And prices. I also enjoyed the produce section. Overall great store. Usually long lines ..

Je

G9d selection of items. Store was clean and well organized. Check out was quick.

ba

They are have 7 Cacher but jast work 2 👎🏻 And they are so busy how come and I have been waiting 25 minutes

Mi

Better selection on the things i was looking for this time around. A little wait outside but not too bad.

Ra

Name is misleading. Everyone knows not all is as it is named. Got a really good deal on 3.9 # charcoal bricketts. Good place.

mo

Great store .. and actually almost every thing is just 99 cents !!

Do

One of the bigger 99 Cents Store. Just stopped here to look round to see what they had to offer.

Mi

Not crowded around noon on Friday.

Er

Pro: Good selection of items.Cons: Fruit and vegetable area is never clean. I dont understand why this store cant figure out that 1 or 2 cashiers is not enough. If your lines are to the back of the store. That lady putting gift bags away, can be better utilized. Definitely need new management as the current ones are clueless.

CA

It was cool. I hadnt been there in a while

Fe

I really love this store! They usually have everything that I need, at a very affordable price. And its a bonus that they have FOOD at a pretty decent price!!! So thank you for lots of enjoyable experiences. :))

Yo

You cant beat the price .99 cents. A variety to select always having different new items. But it does need improvement when it gets very busy need more cashiers available too long the wait at check out times.

Jo

There was one cashier and the line went to the back of the store. Accustomed asked the assistant manager to bring up more checkers to which the response was they all called out. It took another 45 min in line for that same assistant manager to finally open a. Second register. And there is no sense of social distancing or attempts to get people to wear masks correctly. Would not suggest you go here if you have another option like Dollar Tree or Daiso

A-

One of my all-time favorite stores you can find stuff like 99 cent Crazy Glue to blueberries this store has it all Ive been coming here for many many years five stars.

Di

Store was very busy. Only 2 cashiers open. At least 20 people in line. But they tried and thats important.

De

99cent coupon at San Diego stores.Coupon wording is, one free item up to $99.99, free with purchases over $15.00 or more.But in fact this is not how it works. Items are tallied at register then one lowest price item of a dollar is deducted. Receipt will print wording one item free - $1.00.Their intent is to get you to come in purchase your fifteen dollars. So if you purchased four things at $5.00 each thinking your going to get one of them for free. Not going to happen! Your only going to get $1.00 off. I guess they can get away with it, because they use the word one free item. This is one way to use manipulation and twisting words to their advantage not the customers. So sad!!

Mi

I love this store. I love looking at all the stuff they have in there and everything is very affordable plus I love that the store is very clean and organized. Thats a plus!

Le

Omg my local 99 cent store is the best. It carries basically everything I am looking for. From produce, to house items, to health, everything is offer able.I have been going here for years; The only downside is that lately is the price increase. Other than that, love everything. I almost forgot of the exceptional customer service. Great place to spend your coins.

St

Ja

Sh

Well organized and friendly people work there.

Ge

Store full and only two cashiers, fast line non-existent, have to make line outside again :(

Al

You will find everything you need at low prices!

Pr

Very disappointing 99 cents only stores not 99 cents only everything is 299 and up barely 99 cent items everything You touch has a higher price tag on it it was very dirty unorganized no workers inside and 99 cent store only it needs to be called no 99 cent store

Pr

Best deals for produce, Snacks, drinks and home essentials. This 99 cents store is clean and organized. My son loves coming to get toys.

Gu

Good location. The parking I felt like it was super narrow.

te

I can always find something I can use for a decent price when I go to this store.

Te

I love shopping here but coming from Virginia the name of the store mislead me. It should be called 99 cents and up! Most items are more than 99 cents. That being said prices are still wonderful and they have everything including fresh produce!

Bl

Short wait great dollar buys.

do

Way too busy for only 2 cashiers. Wasnt impressed with their Xmas decoration Variety

La

This brand has changed dramatically over the years & w/that so should their name, there are few items that are 99 cents.Still economical for those who need it, quality matches products, watered down & lacking substance, if you can afford, spend the extra $$$ @ Wal-mart for the name brand.How do you have a store full of people & only two (2) cashiers? It took 15-minutes to check out, almost put the items back & walked out.Will not be visiting anytime soon, price & selection not enough for my time.

sh

Well for it being a Friday what could i expect... There was not much of what my mother in law was looking for at the moment. No big fabric softener, no 1 gal. Size freezer bag...but there was toilet paper, paper towels, alcohol hand sanitizer and baby wipes...lol...

Ch

Everytime time I come in here lately there are only 1 or 2 cashiers and the lines take 15 minutes to get through, just for them not to bag your stuff. A little disappointed.

Iv

I find good healthy vegetables and fruits and other products I need very cheap. This store is always kept clean, neat, and organized. The employees are always friendly and helpful. Wow I’m very satisfied when I go there. They also carry the latest products and goodies.

Jo

I like the products offered.

Lu

Five 🌟 I was please to find what I needed. Thank you.

Po

My favorite store. I almost always find good deals

Sh

Clean and organized shopping atmosphere

JJ

This is a wonderful store. Most of the employees are kind and very helpful. I go there 1st. If they dont have something I need, then I might go elsewhere. Go there. Youll be b-a-c-k. Try it...youll like it!

Ri

Whats not to like.

Ca

Great deals and plenty of parking.

al

His store did not provide any hand sanitizer to the entering customers. When I asked the cashier, in a very rude way she said I dont know and when asked for manager, the manager Francisco came and told me that the store did not have to provide hand sanitizer for custumers. Even though the CDC Page states that the stores must provide hand sanitizer both their employees and custumers. (Ps. The reason as to why I asked for hand sanitizer was because I saw a person who I know that is recovering from COVID.)

Ma

They need more workers to keep their shells straightened.

Pe

Nice and helpful shopAre u guys still hiringI use work doller tree near uFull time

Ve

Love shopping there

Cl

Lines are ridiculous! Its hot outside and eryones standing outside for 30 to 40 minutes!!

Da

Dont know I would make it through to the next payday without this store. A true blessing. If you have the time to wait in the check out line there is no down side to this experience.

To

Good dealsGood place to save money.

Da

Okay so how many of you are embarrassed to admit that you love shopping at the 99 cent store? Well Im not! Im definitely a 99er.I discovered this particular store when I used to live in the neighborhood many years ago and Ive been coming back ever since.Lots of changes over the years, not least of which is the fact that its technically not 99 Cents Only anymore since they have more expensive things on the shelves now. Still, they have some incredible bargains on things that you would pay three or four times the amount at Ralphs or Vons or any of the other Supermarket chains.Nothing luxurious here, but you will definitely save money on staple items and produce. Just be diligent about the condition of things and expiration dates. After all, theres a reason its at the 99 cent store! The staff are friendly, and they do their best to keep a tidy store. Definitely two thumbs up.

to

Dude I love this place. lots of verities of chips and I like that I can buy a screw driver for a dollar. sad that there adding more things that are not 99. like some toys for 2.99 although it is still a good deal.

An

Always my favorite shopping experience! Almost has everything Im looking for. Sometimes just not that day, but come again, it might be there. Always a deal!

Gr

The store is always clean busy most days. Cashiers are helpful and you can always find something you dont need lol. 99.cent 99 ways.

po

Everytime I go there lines are always long, they literally always only have 2 registers open. They never have enough people working per shift.

Ti

Always have what I need

Ju

In todays visit I found a rather messy store, thou it is not always in that condition. Shopping carts were almost non-existant, just a few around with locked wheels. Recently they did away with the hand baskets so now if you cannot find a cart you are out of luck and you have to carry things on your hands. So limited number of dirty carts available, no hand baskets and they dont want you putting things into your own reusable bags as you try to shop around, genius! Dont visit unless you have to and be prepared for a long line wait. The cashiers have been and are nice and friendly. Management could greatly improve the customers shopping experience by providing reasonable clean shopping carts in good working condition and having also clean hand baskets for those customers that will buy only a few items.

fl

3.5. I like coming here for random nick naks. Sometimes the veggies and fruits are great for the price. Great seasonal products. Lots of canned food variety, pet items to cleaning supplies and baby products. Theyve expanded from when I first started coming here. now selling higher value price items. The bathrooms however need some extra tlc for sure.

Al

To big of a store for so little choicesAnd only 2 cashiers openBut cashier was courteous and polite

Da

Pretty good customer service was cute

U'

Thank you Sandra blue eyes for your excellent customer service, even when the line is long you can still make it run smoothly I hope that youre the one that does the training for the new employees in the future...Ill most definitely shop with you guys again!!!

An

Good selection of produce, friendly staff, will come back soon

Ma

99 cents only dont know why is call like that if a lot of there items are not 99 cents i prefer dollar tree where everything is one dollar

Te

Really enjoy walking through to see what they have

wi

Understocked in many items but very clean

Mo

They are breaking the law they are selling sanitizer for 5 bucks I’m going to report the store

Je

Nice and clean store .9 out 10 people working there are very helpful and friendly, has almost everything your looking for and things you didnt know you where looking for but now finding you do.the reason for only 4stars is there is getting to be way too many ideas in store that are not 99cents.when you go to a 99cent store your planning on coming out of there with all you need and then some and it was 99cents thats what feels so great .when you look @and see stuff you like at least one thing on every lane that marked over 99cents and that kinda puts alittle cloud over your shopping experience, kills your shopping Im getting a great deal buzz.

De

The best place for stuff for any kind of partys! And once in a while you will find something really good!!😁👍🙌

Be

Thats a lot of good deals you have to look for him I just watching liquids in a small bottle for $0.99 and you get the large bottle for $0.99 some things are worth buying some things are the most part pretty good.

Da

Items were well stocked and great prices! Need more cashiers. There were only three checkout lanes opened.

d.

I really like the store for its selection of items. clean, organized and professional employees. im coming back.

Al

Disonest unpolite people works there.

Ma

I enjoy going right when they open, everything is well organized!

Ch

Save money my favorite store great customer service

Th

Crowded but nice store. Located in the shopping center, might be hard to be seen from the street (univ ave).Can be reached by public bus that connected to downtown and la mesa.

Ro

Good place to go but beware not everything is 0.99 cents and those things are not always clearly marked

He

Great deals helpful people but too long of lines .😑🙄😴 2 registers open, and the customers are lined up down the aisles other than that great place peace. Thanks

Ro

This store is an openly racist establishment. A relative of mine and her daughter were verbally abused by an employee and two other customers for being of Mexican ancestry, spewing hateful words such as, “Go back to Mexico!” The cashier kept quiet and when the manager was called to address the situation, he did nothing to help.Clearly this store has no regard for customer service and will do nothing to make Hispanic customers feel welcome when making their purchases. I will make sure that this store loses all business from myself and everyone I know.HR should fire the racist employee and should replace store management immediately.

Pr

I love this store because its close to my house and they are always making it better every year. But tg e bathrooms are dirty and had a terrible experience with a staff member. Terrible service

Br

This is a hidden gem for someone on a budget to buy food. I load up on all kinds of stuff from bread, to onions, potatoes, eggs and canned food. I always stop here before going to Vons. Ive even found 99 Cents Only to be much cheaper than Big Lots.

Ca

I like this store and it is convenient to get to. You can find whatever you want there.

Sa

I like the customer service of this store. In my experience, they are consistent with being helpful and having a good attitude.

Ca

Crazy lines, frazzled kind of rude cashier. Prices came up wrong and it took ten minutes for a manager to come help her get bill adjusted, while long riff-raff line formed and grew behind me 😰Great prices though 😊

Ja

I love this store 3 full bags $25
