“This Daiso isn’t a very big store. It sells Japanese candies, cookies, some cosmetics, small accessories, and household utensils at affordable prices. There’s also a Japanese supermarket right next door, so you can still find some Japanese products there, although you might not be able to find everything you’re looking for. Some of the items weren’t very well organized, probably because there was only one person working at the checkout. I didn’t see any other staff members around, but overall, I think that’s understandable. Daiso is basically like a Japanese version of Dollar Tree, so I think it’s pretty reasonable for what it offers and its affordable prices.”
“Super great store to go grocery shopping. Unique and interesting items. Plus way cheaper than walmart and sometimes even cheaper than the dollar store depending on what the product is. great location and always lots of extra parking. Actually have nothing bad to say about this place or the stuff to really good grocery outlet.”
“I found just what I was looking for at a very reasonable price. I also found several items that I hadn't been shopping for, but the prices were so good I couldn't leave them there. There isn't a lot of parking, but it is worthwhile to check it out and find some bargains.”
“Daiso is a Japanese household goods chain and this location in California is a large one, which means the selection is broader than what you find at smaller branches. The store carries an extensive range of everyday items at a flat price point, most things running around $1.75, with some higher priced items marked in yen alongside a conversion table posted throughout the store to help you work out the equivalent in dollars. The product range covers more ground than the format suggests. Kitchen supplies, storage containers, cleaning products, school and craft supplies, makeup, nail polish, party supplies, snacks, and seasonal items all occupy different sections of the store, and the inventory turns over regularly enough that repeat visits tend to surface new things. The Japanese sourcing means you encounter items that simply do not have equivalents in American dollar stores, which is part of what makes browsing here feel different from a standard discount shop. Camping supplies, food molds, and specialty organizers show up in sections that reward walking through the whole store rather than heading directly to what you came for. The store is well organized and large enough that navigating it takes some time if you are being thorough. The layout is generally logical and items are grouped sensibly by category. Staff tend to vary in terms of engagement, but the checkout process is efficient. For anyone setting up a kitchen, stocking up on organizational supplies, or just looking for affordable Japanese imported goods in a browsable format, Daiso is a genuinely useful stop. The price point makes experimentation easy, and it is the kind of store where you typically leave with more than you planned to buy.”
“Good selections, ok prices, best part is no matter the time or how crowded it gets, there is never a long line. Either im lucky or they have enough staff to keep plenty of registers open.”
“Dollar Tree continues to be a rock for all in San Jose area This particular Dollar Tree ? is a steady staple in the area with all types of people and the items are still at record low prices. Compared to other stores the saving can be huge. They also started having name brands at a higher price than $1.25 but still it's cheap compared to the chain supermarket I now regularly supplement my shopping with a trip to the Dollar Tree Kevin”
“Great place! Really really cheap for San Jose, and you can get a lot of stuff here. There’s always the question of freshness of the products, but if you check your produce beforehand and the expiration dates of stuff (I’ve never had a problem with this though), you should be more than fine.”
“Great prices and friendly people. Just make sure to check the dates on certain foods. I bought carrot juice that was spoiled. But one bad carrot does not spoil the whole bunch... lol”
“08.06.25 12pm Really nice Grocery Outlet location and store. Had large product of USA honeydew for $3.49, cantaloupe $2.49, giant mangos 5/$5 (the other Grocery Outlets has them for 4/$5), humongous avocados 2/$3, 2lb Grape tomatoes $3.99. Really good fresh produce, though not much organic selections. Still, will be back, it's in the same strip mall as the gigantic Dollar Tree.”
“I love this place. I can always find a warm blanket, table plastic cover or/and gifts. There is so much too choose from. The customer service is great and not pricey at all. I highly recommend it!!”
“Shopping at Grocery Outlet is less of a chore and more of an adventure. Because their inventory relies on overstock and closeouts, you never quite know what you'll find—making every trip feel like a genuine treasure hunt. The savings can be genuinely incredible if you have a sharp eye. For example, today I managed to snag two packs of blackberries for just $3. Beyond the produce and snacks, they carry a surprisingly large wine selection. It’s the perfect spot to pick up a high-end label at a fraction of the retail cost.”
“What you get here is as per the availablity. Mostly available things are of good quality. Most important is the cost. You will get good material at the most lowest price. Mostly all daily needed material is available. There are different sections for various articles and different male female sections are there. You will get trial room to try the garments. This is good thing they have.”
“DD’s Discounts has a great selection and very affordable prices. The team is friendly, attentive, and professional. Every visit is smooth and enjoyable. I always leave happy with my purchases!”
“Lots of Variety things for home, office, sport, outdoor activities, gifts academic essentials & Day to day needs of each one of all ages at very moderate price”
“Variety of items for reasonable prices. Great for DIY projects, organization, and festivities/ decorations. Grandkids like to go here when they have a little cash to spend on arts and crafts and lil toys.”
“Best shop ever! It can literally satisfy every taste. I came in to buy swimming shorts and I couldn’t believe how many beautiful clothes they have. I will not miss to come again.”
“This Dollar Tree near Cambrian Park is clean, well-organized, and surprisingly spacious for a neighborhood location. It’s a great stop before or after a meal at Goku Korean BBQ, especially if you’re picking up party supplies, snacks, or household basics. The seasonal aisle is always fun to browse, and the frozen section is better stocked than expected. Staff are friendly and keep the lines moving, even during weekend rushes. Parking is easy in the shared lot, and the store is accessible for families with strollers or seniors. Inventory rotates often, so you’ll find new surprises on each visit. It’s not fancy, but it’s reliable and budget-friendly—perfect for quick errands or prepping for a family gathering. A solid 4-star spot that gets the essentials right.”
“There's 2 people the ones that love dollar tree and the ones that don't. You can find everything here. Well nothing has been a dollar for a long time but sometimes you can find the seasonal dishes and there's so much you can buy if you browse around from practical to all my fellow DIYers”
“Interesting place. We didn’t know what it was but decided to stop by it since we were at Dicks Sporting Goods anyway. The kids had a blast looking around and we ended up grabbing a few small toys and some candies.”
“I felt really bad for the cashier, she was by herself and some people were stealing and walking out and she remained positive and did her job telling the thieves you really must need that stuff as they ran out the door.”
“Got graduation balloons here. Prices were much better than the chain stores and they were super friendly. Love that this is a small business being run for decades”
“Nishchay & Alex were kind & helpful. Good selection of snacks& treats... always entertaining to go into a different store in a different area to see another items. Thanks5 a great experience”
“I usually use curbside pick up. Last visit I went inside. The store was very busy with customers. Found what I needed and waited in line less than 10 minutes. For me it's always been a good experience.”
“So today I accidentally left a couple of items at the register and noticed after I got home, after driving back to Walmart and being told that self service was closed Manny who was working the "self service registers" asked me what was wrong and if he could see my receipt to help me. We found two of the forgotten items in a cart kept at the front for other forgetful shoppers like myself and I was told the last item was put back due to it being a harsh chemical (soft scrub w/bleach) I was able to grab my forgotten items and was very thankful manny was there to help me out with amazing customer service. Thank you manny.”
“Really busy. have fresh fruits and foods, but more then 20 need customers were waiting in line and only two lines were open. so it is really messed up and there was so many employee walking around and they weren’t doing nothing to open more lines for customers. There were many employees, but there were no management at all.”
Burlington Stores is giving its locations a major makeover. The off-price retailer has already transformed about half of its 1,115 stores and plans to complete the redesign across its entire fleet by the end of 2026. The company calls this makeover "Store Experience 2.0." Gone are the cramped aisles and confusing layouts that once defined discount shopping. Instead, Burlington is creating wider walkways, organized sections, and clearer signs to help shoppers find what they need.
Dollar General is adding more of its private label food offerings to stores, following similar moves by big retailers like Walmart and Amazon as store brands keep growing in popularity. The store is launching new items under its own labels, including ice cream, cinnamon rolls, coffee syrups, and salad dressings. The move comes as store brand sales reached $271 billion in 2024, up nearly 4% from 2023.
Daiso, the beloved Japanese retailer known for its variety of affordable household goods, is expanding further in the U.S. market. This week, the company is celebrating the grand openings of three new stores in Texas and California. On Saturday, Aug. 10, Daiso debuted an 8,000-sq.-ft. location in Beaumont, Texas, at Dowlen Towne Center, as well as two Southern California stores - a 6,319-sq.-ft. space in Van Nuys at Mid Valley Marketplace and a 5,200-sq.-ft. store in Westminster at Westminster Center.
Dollar Tree is moving into 170 former 99 Cents Only stores, marking a big shift in the discount retail landscape. The company announced Wednesday it's taking over leases in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Texas, with plans to reopen the stores under its own brand as early as fall 2024.
Ollie's Bargain Outlet just landed a great deal of its own, winning a $14.6 million bankruptcy auction for 11 former 99 Cents Only store locations across Texas. The discount retail chain pounced after 99 Cents Only abruptly went out of business in March, shuttering all 371 of its stores in California, Arizona, Texas, and Nevada. Ollie's quickly made an opening "stalking horse bid" to grab over a dozen of the empty properties.
