I go to this 99 Cents Only Store more often than the one near me in San Diego I think! Every time I need anything they carry, I'm here buying it--things for my daughter, cleaning supplies, kitchen gadgets and supplies, condiments and baking mixes, snacks, you name it.
Yes, the lines can be long when they're busy but the clerks are always helpful and enough if them speak good English that I can usually get my questions answered, not always the case at my home store.
One advantage to shopping here is I'm already familiar with the layout because of shopping at the one at home. Another is that I never have to price compare or fish for coupons since everything is the same price.
I will keep coming here when I'm in town as long as they can keep my household and travel needs met.
