New Dollar World

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (4) • $

"I don't quite know how to review New Dollar World Plus, as I'm not sure what category it fits into. It's certainly not a traditional "dollar store" in that the majority of their products cost more than a dollar. Often much more. They carry a lot of items that a convenience store would carry, and that is the closest in feel I can get to guessing what kind of store this is. They carry some food items and have a large refrigerated case with sodas (cans or bottles), juices, Sobe and Snapple drinks.But then again there is an entire aisle of t-shirts, shorts, and belts that just doesn't fit that picture, either. There are a lot of hair care products, cosmetics, and an array of nail care products, too, including a whole display of nail polish at $1.49 each as well as supplies to maintain acrylic nails.There was an aisle full of kitchenware, paper plates, pans, even real metal spoons and forks (loose) 3 for 99 cents. There were tools, cleansers, toys, office supplies, even a number of different brands of dog food including Gravy Train cans on sale for 99 cents.Want a digital tv converter box ($49.99) or a dvd player? You can find them here!In addition, there were several display cases full of... um... I'm not sure what the proper term is... glass pipes? bongs? paraphernalia? I'm not quite sure what it all was, but they certainly carried quite a variety of them. One large glass apparatus was prominently displayed on top of the display cases attached to a black gas mask. I'm sure they're probably used to smoke... tobacco, or other... um... herbs? Possibly people with their own (completely valid) medical marijuana license... Yes, that must be it... So, if that's you're bag you should come check it out. There's another glass display case full of different types of fancy lighters. For those who like to... light things on fire. My guess is that this is a pretty rough neighborhood. Mom and I stopped at the Foster's Donuts next door and were curious enough to walk over here to check it out. We're both suckers for dollar store shopping. There was a man standing inside who appeared to be a security guard, and the Susie's Deals store in the same strip had a large imposing security guard, too! There were metal cage style security enclosures that could be pulled across the storefront when the business was closed. That's usually not a good sign.Regardless, mom and I felt safe and the cashier was very personable (we both liked him) and even the other customers, were all very friendly.We bought two sets of markers for about $1.50 each. Unfortunately, some of them worked but most of them were dried up. Not much of a bargain at any price. :("

Dollar General

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (11) • $$

"Neat clean and friendly general store. The people here always say hello. Went in for a cold drink and was surprised at how low the prices were. 2 / 3.50 for monster energy cans. (I know I know they're bad for me). But this is the cheapest I've ever seen them."

Bin Store Gems

★★★★☆ 3.8 (10)

"Not only are the employees who work here incredibly kind but man do you find some good findings here! I came across so many great new (non broken) items like a large air purifier, wireless headphones, a large eraser board and a macrame hammock swing chair!!! To say I was overjoyed is an understatement, and they also offer deals upon spending limits. One trip I spent over $100 and got an actual $300 value drone for free! I highly highly recommend this bin store and please support small! It makes all the difference"

Dollar House

★★★★☆ 3.7 (22)

"Most things are more expensive then Dollar Tree. There's definitely a lot of made in China stuff that's obv sketchy cheap materials. They do have some great specials of over suppliers that are a great price like I found some Saltines that at other stores cost like 3.50 for $2 . My hair clip was $1 and sign was .80c. My hand soap was $1.50. They have a aisle full of cute hair clips and all the Mexican candy of your dreams. Always know your prices to get good deals. Inflation! See my pics"

Five Below

★★★☆☆ 3 (11)

"This store is actually really cool. They have so many different things for great prices. The most expensive thing I saw in the store was $15 but it was a pretty cool item. The store is super clean and most of the employees were friendly. Due to covid, there was a rather long line to get inside, but it was worth the wait. This is definitely the place to go to for unique items at very low prices."

Dollar Pack

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I adore this place. Bunch of goodies to look at and buy! It reminds me of best dollar in a way when it comes to having a random assortment of decent priced items! I appreciate the members of the shop for they were nice when I went! Can't wait to go again soon!"

Grocery Outlet

★★★★☆ 4.2 (16)

"My initial experience at Grocery Outlet wasn't particularly remarkable. While they do offer items I haven't encountered elsewhere, I didn't notice significantly lower prices compared to Walmart. Despite this, we did purchase a couple items, including jalapeño and habanero grated cheese and Boba snacks for the kids. Unfortunately, the snacks didn't meet our expectations. I doubt I'll return unless it's solely for that delicious cheese.4/17/24"

Dollar General Market

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (7) • $$

"I have recently seen commercials for dollar general and made a mental note to check them out if I had a chance. Claim to fame name brands at discount prices. I expected to see discontinued items or line rejects this was not the case. I was greeted by a small fresh fruit and vegetable section along with a meat freezer with large sale tags emblazoned with great prices. A large frozen foods section rivaling some supermarkets and aisles of boxed fans canned food all name brands"

WalMart Delano

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (30) • $$

"I really like how Delano WalMmart has stepped up their game. Although face mask are mandatory Walmart is insuring that everyone entering the store and while shopping you have your mask on. This is the only way we will help flatten the Covid19 curve. Hopefully we can start reopening and stay open. GREAT JOB WALMART"

Home Mart

★★★☆☆ 3 (1) • $$

"Hmmm Home Mart.. to me Home Mart is like an upgraded dollar store. It has dollar store type items but with clothes and suitcases. I did see a few nice quality items in the store but for the most part I would say it's a store to shop at if you just need some things to get by."

Dollar Tree Stores

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (10)

"Not too crazy about this Dollar Tree store. They are connected side by side with their sister store Family Dollar. So when you walk into the store you will find Dollar Tree merchandise on one side and Family Dollar goods at the opposite side of the store.Sadly the prices of Dollar Tree merchandise has gone up considerably the past couple of years. It is to be expected, though, because prices are rising everywhere in California. So it is not as attractive to shop at Dollar Tree stores anymore because there is less value and savings to be found at this chain store.Service was good so at this store so that was appreciated. May shop at this store from time to time in the future because of the good service I received."

Rjay’s Liquidation

★★★★★ 4.7 (14)

"I've shopped at RJAYS multiple times, and I absolutely love it! The product and prices are unbelievable; they can't be bet. I'm extremely happy with the customer service. I've received, and the fact that you can prepay is a bonus. If you haven't been by RJAYS, I strongly recommend that you stop by and check out their inventory. I garrentte; you'll be just as pleased as I have been."

Dollar Tree

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (10) • $

"Love this dollar tree! There is always parking and I always find what I am looking for. The employees are always nice to me and they help me when I ask for something. It is usually organized and if it's not you will see someone cleaning up. They have essentials all for $1. Nothing is over a $1. You can come and find all your basic household needs here. They also have basic items for pets (toys, food, etc). They have school supplies and basically a little bit of everything.They have very cool stuff for your car. I went today and they have floating finding nemo and dory fishes. The ones you put on top of your car. They are solar and they look like they are swimming when they move. I haven't seen them anywhere else so that was pretty cool.Overall, I love coming and checking out their stuff. Especially when the new merchandise comes in."

Bargain Stores

★★★☆☆ 3 (4)

"This happened more than once. The hours on the door says from 8 to 8. If you run a business then you should run your business correctly by respecting your business hours. If you open at 8 o'clock then open at 8 o'clock don't show up at 8:20 or 8:30. I tell the lady who showed up at the time she felt like showing up that what time she opened, she said 8:00am. I said to her, it's almost 8:30. I told her it's bad business because people who get here at 8 am walk up to the door and try to open it and it's closed. What made me mad was the fact that she got upset because I told her and she rudely and disrespectful said, she'll open at 8:20 or 8:30 and if we didn't want to wait, we could go somewhere else. I rather spend a little more somewhere else and get treated with respect than to go to a bargain store that have cameras watching your every move because in their eyes you're a thief. I'm all about supporting small businesses but not when you're telling me to take my money elsewhere if I don't have the patience to wait till they open."

Dollar Tree

★★★★☆ 4 (3) • $

"Being big bargain shoppers, my mother and I just can't seem to pass up a dollar store without checking it out. We were heading back to Bakersfield from Arvin, and decided to drop in to this Dollar Tree to see what kind of bargains we could scare up.Dollar Tree carries many household staples for the low low price of $1 each. I love to stock up on cleansers, many of them brand name, here. You can find everything you need to clean your house from the floorboards to the rafters, including sponges and scrubbers.You can save a bundle on toiletries here, even on name brands like Crest and Colgate, when you buy toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, bubble bath, shower gel, bath salts, shampoo, body lotion, and more. You can even purchase over the counter medications such as Ibuprofen and antihistamines.Being an elementary school teacher, I can always find things here to use in my classroom. There is actually a section geared toward teachers full of colorful sentence strips, mini pocket charts, bulletin board cutouts, colorful banners, and so much more. I find many items for my prize box here both in the toy section and in the party favors sections. You can also find many items in the office supply aisle such as pens and pencils, erasers, glue, and so much more.Speaking of parties, if you're planning on throwing one be sure to check the Dollar Store out first. You can find tablecloths, napkins, plates, cups, and cutlery in almost every color of the rainbow. Do you need balloons? You can pick the rubber ones up (25/$1) or get the mylar ones filled with helium for $1 each. If you need to bring a gift, you can buy wrapping paper, ribbons, bows, gift bags, even greeting cards here on the cheap. With the money you save on the basics here, you'll be able to afford more elsewhere.If you're decorating for the holidays, check out their large section devoted to seasonal merchandise for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter, and many more. This Dollar Tree is in a tiny little strip mall on the West side of Main Street between Gail Marie Dr. and School Street with very limited parking."

T-Mart

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (12) • $$

"This is one of the places I usually stop by if I need something simple for work. Plain fabric, no-design type of shirts, leggings, pants and shorts. They have dickies brand clothing but regular pants not female cut dickies, that I saw. I think a sign said they have scrubs too if you are in the medical field. Pretty big selection throughout the store mostly mens clothing. Some kids clothes and random items up front like hair and makeup accessories too. My friend did find the leopard one piece right now, so I grabbed that. They have random styles of two-piece outfits and some dresses mixed into a few racks."

Dollar General

★★★☆☆ 3 (6) • $

"Great local store here in Arvin. Love that a chain like this doesn't gouge the customer because they can in a small town. There's really nowhere else to get the General Store type merchandise for miles. They're very friendly here and always offer help. It's also open at 8 AM."

"Store looked good and pretty organized. Grabbing candy for the movies and lots of selection. Cashier was nice."

Tammy's Gifts & Things

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"The sign says Tammy's Gifts but she has just about everything! Its like a mini pharmacy (with out the drugs). They stock health and beauty supplies, pet supplies, stationary,toys, gifts, over the counter medicines. If you are on the road and you need something...this is good place to stop because they will more than likely have it!"

Dollar General

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (3) • $

"Great location with sometimes amazing finds. Found tiki-style solar lights for just $6.50 each; an adorable outdoor rug for $25 and deals on cat food/shampoo/wine. Thank you, DG! And whoever is working the register is always friendly and upbeat. Lots of traffic for this area. Good for locals and visitors!"

Grocery Outlet

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (13)

"3.5 stars. The other night at the check out, the cashier advised me that they're out of receipt paper, so I would not be getting a receipt (and asked if I was OK with that). That was an immediate red flag to me. When I asked how returns would be handled without a receipt, she said I could take a picture of the register screen. It seems unethical to operate like this. Can no one go get some paper? Seems very disorganized and unprofessional. Besides that, I usually enjoy shopping here. Just avoid the apples in bags-- they're always so banged up."

Top Liquidation

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Wow! This Top Liquidation Bins business has top guilty stuff, not junk like other Bins stores up here in the Antelope Valley. Clean and very well organized. I highly recommend shoppers to stop by and see for themselves. Over 40,000 items at low prices."

Grocery Outlet

★★★★☆ 3.6 (13)

"Love this store! Great prices, and they're always getting new products, and it's always something fantastic. But when you see something that you may like.... jump on it! Because more than likely, once they sell out... it's gone for good.. I love when they lower prices on certain items for quick sale, mainly due to being close to the items expiration date. I love how their food items and products look like you bought it from Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Aldi's or similar trendy swank supermarkets and grocery stores.The staff is great, especially the one guy (who I can't remember his name, possibly Paulie?) but he's hilarious, and is always singing, or saying something funny, he's fantastic and always makes me laugh every time I stop in. He makes the already great store, an even better shopping experience. Good job to you! The veteran's parking spot is fantastic and the cherry on top. I absolutely love having a parking spot directly in front of the store... this place is great and a fantastic new edition to our little town."
