  • I know as a kid I was in the 99 cent store very often. I had a struggling mom when I was little so she would buy a lot of stuff here. I grew up and things got better and we went less and less. I've bypassed this for years and probably would have if it wasn't for an insistence of a friend. Fallen on hard times, she can survive on 99cents store stuff for food and products. Even though she is staying with us until she gets back up, she insisted we let her buy her own foods. It's amazing to me whenever someone can live on $10 of food for a week and that there are places that make it possible for someone to still eat well on so little. When I was a kid, they didn't have the produce, bread or refrigerated deli items, but if they did it probably would have saved my mom a ton of money. This branch doesn't have fresh produce, but according to my friend some of them do. This location was kept clean (I've been to ones as a kid with dusty shelves and crusty floors) and I always appreciate a fairly neat store. I was surprised at some of the brand name stuff I found so I picked up cleaning products like Ajax, various sponges, Reynolds Wrap foil, etc. etc. This is the same stuff that I buy at the store and it would cost $2-4 for the same thing that's 99 cents only here. Is it weird that it blew my mind a bit? I just didn't expect there to be good stuff and all just some random generic products that look a bit shady (though there are quite a bit of that too!). I think I need to go more often for those kinds of things...every little savings count when you live on the fringes of "making it" and not "in the money". There's loads of random, cheap looking junk that it's worth skipping and go buy a little bit more expensive counterparts for, but finding Arm&Hammer Natural All Purpose cleaner for 99 cents instead of $3 a bottle which I go through like a maniac (on the occasion I somehow convince myself to clean) is kinda a gem.
