Very familiar with the store. Walking distance. Usually Im target specific when I go there and being familiar Im not surprised if its hammered! Truly its not a 99 cent store anymore. For the most part it is, but some merchandise if sold at 99 cents, Id be ripping them off! LOL

This store has gotten worse over the years. The store is clean and well organized. But on the weekend is sometimes worse than Ross and Walmart no cap.. waited over 40 minutes as they were only 2 registers open and it took them like 20 minutes to open 3rd. On a Sunday ? this is not good service. Is modern slavery. Won’t be coming back. Yo manager is obvious you like seeing people miserable.

Took someone to this store but I NEVER go inside 😝☠️ place is TOXIC.Theres parents that take there kids there and it seems they let them lose to run, no respect for others. They drop stuff on the floor and not pick it up.They say to just leave it on the ground there is staff that get paid to pick it up.SORRY I dont enter the store.A sign should be at the store that reads; ENTER at you own risk.☠️

The 99¢ store in Salinas is different than the chain Dollar Tree because you never know what interesting treasure you will find. Where Dollar Tree is predictable with a set inventory; the 99¢ store has some things consistently, but also has a rotating limited time selection of merchandise. If you hit it just right you can find a cute Disney toy, a sloth lunchbox, or a low priced pillow. As with all dollar stores their prices arent all a dollar anymore. Prices have increased to reflect the tariffs put on Chinese imports.

I wouldnt want to live in a city without one. Fresh fruits and veggies.Also brand named items for a buck. Shelves well stock and neat. Never had any problems there.

99 cents store is a good low prized store. Only it is skittle dirty for its lack of employees. But other than that I would give them a 4 star rating.

Havent been in this store for quite some time. Ever since they stopped selling all their items for 99Cents Im not as tempted to go in. They should change their name cuz its misleading . Didnt buy anything cuz they had 2 lanes open and many people in line. Probably wont go back.

99 only? Should be 99 and up, but good value. Store is organized most of the time but the bathrooms are ALWAYS gross.

I like this store because its cheap and they got a little of everything for everyone from food to automotive, kids toys to kitchenware and more at a bargain price.

Everything is under a dollar. Very good selection.

I love the 99c store.

Very efficient endcaps and holiday aisles

Got what I needed line was quick.

As always very well organized, clean and well stock. The place to go for your Valentines balllons. They have them ready and tons to choose from. Never a long líne to pay

What a big surprise when I went there they have alot of products and very nice costumer service

This store is well stocked with everything from food items to picture frames and everything in between.

If you on a tight penny come here. This will stretch your dollar to the max. Yeah, its cheap but if you need it temp. Then its your best bet. I live this place, you should too

My suggestion, Get there early !! With the lacking of cashiers (unfortunately) the waite time in line to purchase a couple of items makes you feel like putting the wanted down at the nearest self and walking out the store faster than you walked in it lol, not only with the lack of cashiers that make up for the long line Wait, it also affect the PARKING ! (Iv done the math on this one lol) its really no ones fault, its just shows how much we love our 99¢ store. The store being as buddy as it is, is well stocked with plenty of items. And the isles are not thrashed with product blocking my path of shopping. The employees are helpful and nice. I like shopping here I will continue to shop here.

A lot of things are more than $1, but the selection is great and there are many good deals to be had.

Why do they still call this store the 99 cent store when most of the items are anything but. A lot of the items that are not 99 cents are marked so you figure everything else that isnt marked is 99 cents however thats not the case. I do like the variety of items but I hate going up to pay for my stuff and seeing only one or two lines open and the line is going down the aisles.

I have an issue with ur carts. Please replace or repair the ones that dont work. I have complained to the employees about them months ago. Today when i tried to get one i find out that out of 6 carts that were there only one was ok to use. Other times i would leave ur store so annoyed.I have heard from costumers complain too and actually leaving ur store.?Do u have any idea that u are LOOSING COSTUMERS.

My favorite store ever great products and toys for a $1

I must like this place,I always come out with a bag or 2😊

I used to like shopping there. Because of the selection of items. I didnt like shopping there. There was no shoping carts. Made it hard to shop. Thats why i only gave two stars

Love that they have just about anything you may want and more

I bought soup for the wife and Spaghetti Os for our son. Produce and a blanket for thirty bucks. Like 50 items.

Great prices, new stuff every week, inexpensive veggies and fruit, great staff... But they need more cashiers and run the AC

Nice clean well stocked store. No waiting outside plus you are required to apply hand sterilization lotion at entrance to store.

Long lines to pay. Shelves half empty. No shopping carts. Arizona 99 way better

Great store, plenty of useful things for home.

I like how you can find exactly what youre looking for at reasonable prices. The staff was friendly and the service was excellent.I would recommend this store. I give this store 5 stars.

Lots of goodies at a goodie price.

Noticed only the new or free rolling shopping carts. However the attitude is the same. Nobody should work at a store like this if they dont have a heart to help or assist the poor! They make life miserable. If I was general manager I wouldbahake thisnlot of employees up and trade places with their entire crew!!!!

No longer just 99 cents but still had excellent bargains. Bought two beautiful heads of large cauliflower and large stalk of celery of excellent quality for 99 cents each. Got some sun umbrellas that attach to chairs for 3.99 each. The didnt have the medium size S hooks I was looking for but I purchased what they had which were the large size. All in all a good shop

9:30 am on a Sunday. 22 people in line, 2 cashiers open. The floor looks very dirty throughout the store and while the shelves are well stocked, most things are disorganized and piled everywhere in the displays.

Lots of homless outside. I wouldnt want wife and kid going here at night. Its safe inside though. Lots of good stuff here for 99 cents. But dont be fooled, 99 cents only means 0.99, 1.99, 2.99, and I even saw 5.99. I do shop here somewhat regularly, and recommend it despite its drawbacks.

The 99 cent store employees dont bother checking to see if the food is not spoiled I bought a pastry there once it was fuzzy and stinky it was rottenI told one of the employees at wanted to speak to the supervisor or manager about what happened and they said they dont care that if I post a bad review they told me they dont care about the store of theres.

Todays trip to the 99 was great

I love this store. So many great deals. I always shop here. I save so much money by coming here first. I highly recommend this store. Staff are friendly.

Busy all the time good prices

This is my favorite store to discover some deals and fun items...Stop there daily on my way home.....The only problem is having to deal with the most unprofessional, untrained,rudest, low quality employees beginning from management...Cashiers do not hand your items they place them behind the counter between the mess...Quite often I have gone home missing an item...If you call you get the rudest Manager who puts you on hold for over 25 minutes never returning with an answer...I have lost many dollars due to the fact that to go back to talk to the Manager who puts your experience in doubt and you get nothing, cost more money on gas than the cost of the missing items.Hopefully this store will hire better employees trained to deal with customers in a more respectful manner.

Not enough cashiersAnd the their ac doesnt work

It was very good, now the prices are going up. Is no longer a 99 cent store. Bought strawberries today, were 99 cents but now same size is 1.49. Getting harder to budget my funds. Live on 500 a month for food and essentials.

We came to get bags and wrapping paper for Christmas gifts. Twelve bucks later, were all set. It can get pretty busy during the holiday rush, but even with a hectic crowd, we were in and out quickly. The cashier treated us well. No complaints, Ill be back.

Great store variety of stuff

I like this store a lot. Everything I need is in this store. Everything but meat but thats ok. The shelves are neat and nicley stocked. Even the produce is really fresh. Good parking available too.

This particular 99 Cents Only Store is very spacious and has a wide variety of things to shop for. You can go from school supplies to clothes and toiletries to household cleaning supplies, a very nice variety of food and fresh vegetables that would normally be pricier in other stores but here its such a great bargain! They also have a section for games and toys, reading material and activity books, home decor, maintenance, snacks (GREAT FOR MOVIE NIGHTS) kitchenware and much more. It is kept clean and organized for the most part...even though staff do their best to keep everything on the shelves it never fails when a messy person doesnt pick something up they dropped or misplaced.I did give one LESS star because, again, as hard as they try to keep cleanliness it is very difficult to maintain the traffic going on in the bathroom and have found it uncomfortable to use the bathroom as a customer. And its been years with this going unresolved. I wouldnt complain so much about their bathroom but the genius things/messes Ive found in this particular locations bathroom is pretty gnarly.But the MAIN thing that seems to be the problem is having extremely unnecessarily long lines when there are so many cash register isles not being used at ruined where theyre mostly needed and only two or three seem to be usually what is available which makes very long wait times to pay for your things a bit frustrating or just annoying.Im not gonna lie, when there are long lines such as these most cashiers here seem to pick up the pace but there has been SEVERAL times when I have received very slow service or have observed the cashier across from my cashier be very slow and can care less if the line goes all the way to China and if people are complaining or not and will have the same i dont care face their body language is making which can make things aggravating when in a hurry or tired.But aside from that this is a great store that can save your life economically when money is tight! This store can even be a great way to manage money better when you can get the pricier brand of a food or spice from walmart for only .99 cents!

I mean, its a 99 cent store, so one would assume that you cant get all that much for a dollar, but this store continues to surprise. I recently went to get Halloween decorations for the house for my daughter and ended up roaming through all the aisles in disbelief at all the randomly good stuff they have. granted, the volume of the packages is typically smaller than at a normal store but this place is great for making goodie bags for partys and getting party supplies on the cheap. Customer service is pretty decent too. Can be a bit messy at times though.

Went for the first time today. Noticed and asked why items marked $.99 ring up for $.9999 making the item charge $1.00. I know its only 1 cent but if your going to advertise the 99 cent store and items are marked for 99 cents, they shouldnt ring up for a dollar. No one could answer my question.

These stores are nice to have around because they provide basic items at a low price. I buy items here at this store to use in my classroom. Contrary to some reviews, the courtesy clerks speak English fine here. Though I am not hispanic, it doesnt bother me that a lot of Spanish is spoken here because of my upbringing with my dad knowing Spanish (and Italian) and having some Mexican born cousins to a Mexican National Woman and my moms uncle and I am proficient at Spanish. The only complaint that I have with the Salinas store is the customer service from some courtesy clerks. Some will barely say hi and kind of just ignore your presence. When I have engaged in a few light hearted comments, some clerks have given me a suspicious stare and barely say thanks for the purchase. Maybe, it is because this store is so busy. When I go into this store, I am afraid to smile and say, how are you today? The customer service and friendliness is second to none at the Gilroy store.

I love this store! The variety of items found in this store is truly amazing! Items starting at .99 cents and more.The downside: check outs are very slow & long lines. But if you love a bargain -- the wait in line is worth the hassle!

Many things to buy. Some things are worth it, others are not. Some veggies are past their fresh days.

The item I was looking for it was stolen this store dont monitor there stuff

Friendly staffLots of variety for less

Not bad. I enjoy just going in and buying spur of the moment items. Variety is good.

This place needs to change its name. Many items are priced well over a dollar.Ive seen better kept bathrooms in third world countries. Its smeared with excrement, floors wet with urine and covered in gang tags.

This place has some amazing deals. its always different and you can find some really good stuff. Long lines but expected around here.

Cashier needs to be train some manners and need to be polite. I told her to charge me a bag and she didnt hear me. At the end of the transaction she said, ill give the bag for free because im sure the company is richer than you. I replied to EXCUSE ME. And she got off her register.

I really like to chop here, because everything is so much cheaper and customer service is great. I love it

Lots of people but not enough cashiers open at least 10people in each register

The lines are long but did find some cleaning supplies there,

Good products for great prices but never enough cashiers. Expect to spend more time to get thru check out.

Its bad theres a mess there isnt bunny food at all cause they only put a little bit and by the time I go its goneeeeee sooo its really baddddddddd

Pretty good selection of things, cheap, only downside is it gets extremely crowded and they have very little cashiers available. Other than that good place to shop if youre on a tight budget.

Love the availability of products

Went looking for specific items and I found them!Great place to just walk and see what they have.

I love shopping at this store however they should now change the name to 99 cents and more considering there is a lot here that is 1.99 and above.

Its a really good store Great product you find here .... People should be aware of their kids just because its a 99 Cent store doesnt mean that kids can do their mess.

Its cleaner then other dollar stores Ive been to..love the variety or items...super convenient.

Its a good store. But, they have to do something about the restrooms.Soap? Hand dryers?

Its pretty cool, I wish theyd bring back cool inventory like sticker collections.

Only 2 cashiers and the line was all the way to the back and around the corner.

Theres a lot of great stuff that you can get here for a really really low price compared to bigger stores.

Great store but too many kids running around sometimes great deals and items

Ive been at a lot better stores in Los Angeles than this one,

Great store for partys, holidays, and more! Has everything you need

Lots and lots of great items. Just need more cashiers.

Nice for movie treats. Great workers and mecanical merry go round for the kids outside.

I love shopping there . everything is a dollar and they even got some nice stuff.

These are by far the very best of the dollar store chains. Biggest selections and also fresh produce from local growers

Awesome prices

Prices are great and so is the product, but the store is dirty and the young workers are very rude. One time the lady gave me the wrong change (more) and i told her she gave me 2 dollars more and she got mad and denied it. So I just kept the 2 dollars. Oh well

Love going there they have everything you need from grocery to stuff to decorate for all season.

I like that they have quality items for only .99. Most items Ive bought have turned out to be good. The only complaint I have is waiting in long lines with only 2 cashiers open.

Nice big store great place for fresh vegetables and fruit. A little bit of everything.

I like shopping at the. 99cent store because of the low prices they have and the people that work there are great

I love this store is a great good store to go to

Planting supplies cheap. Pots, stakes, twist-ties fertilizer spikes. Didnt see potting soil but I wasnt looking.

Why is it that the name of the store is 99 cent Only Stores but charging other items for $1.49 and $1.99? I was purchasing 20 ea of the concrete slippers décor assuming it to be only 99 cent but was being charged $1.49. Also4 plastic flower pot assuming to be 99 cent but being charged $1.99. Is this correct? Im sure other people are not aware that they are being charged over 99 cents. Probibly will have to start going back to the Dollar Tree Store.

Good place for things like canned goods, otc meds, chips, drinks, mostly small inexpensive things you use regularly. Try to go in the morning to avoid long wait to check out.

Cant complain about the prices on Non brand name products but good enough prices on brand names products. Love coming here and shop for little things :D

Fun place to spend 99 cents. Sometimes you can find an extreme bargain. I know Im going back!

Register 1 was awesome. Didnt have to tell twice.

Amazing place to get candy at lmao but frs it is 😂

Horrible...not a clean place.

If you can get everything you need at home for a $1.. Why spend 3-4×s more? GREAT Deals!!!

Love that they got more of a variety name brand hygiene

Takes forever to pay. They have the longest lines ever and they usually have like 2 cashiers. I hate that place for that reason and they have that I dont care aditude about it.

We purchase all of our fruits and vegetables here. Always fresh!

This type of store really saves money when you have grandkids and need drinks and snacks.bi can save alot of money. It is a place I would recommend
