99¢ Only

Today The Misers checked out the deals at the 99¢ Only Stores, and wow, there were some deals to be had! I ended up buying ten items and my grand total was $10.25. The store itself, located on Sunset in Silverlake, was a little on the seedy side. It was full of a bunch of items that I would never buy - cheaply made junk that will most likely go straight to a landfill. But if you go there without a list, and buy only the things that you might need or use, then it's not so bad. Some of the stuff that I bought included jarred peaches for Bee, organic tomatoes, 3 pounds of potatoes, hand soap, and a chewy bone for Glenn The Dog. They also had Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, for only 99¢! And weird makeup, champagne glasses, ceramic doodads, batteries, band aids, aspirin, toothpaste, butter, Valentines Day cards, Easter candy, salad dressing, cereal, party supplies, itchy feet ointment, paring knives, thong underwear, Jordache Fragrances For Men, calendars, chocolate covered cherries, condoms, etc. A very mixed assortment of stuff, some of it name brands, some of it not. Sparky did not like the store at all. He found it, and its lighting very depressing, but Bee and I rather liked it. I would recommend checking it out every now and then just to see what they have. You never know what you might find, and all of it is deeply discounted - everything is priced at only 99.99¢! So check it out if you dare. Just don't go in with a shopping list because they don't carry everything you may need. But it is a Miser store, that much is true. And this Miser was very happy with her purchases.
