The Grocery Outlet (
http://www.groceryoutlets.com/) here gets quite a bit of stuff that is organic and natural--in fact, they are the only local store that sells Umpqua milk and dairy products, and Umpqua is one of the best local milk producers. They also carry Amy's products, Barbara's Bakery, Nature's Path, and other recognizable organic/natural brands for a lot cheaper than I can find them elsewhere. Of course, Grocery Outlet isn't a 99c store, but they do specialize in closing out overstock at deep discounts. I can also get salon hair products on closeout there for 75% off retail--L'anza, Paul Mitchell, Bedhead, etc.
We don't have a 99c store here, but we do have a dollar store, and I shop there for holiday decorations/holiday stuff/birthday stuff. It's good for that sort of thing. It really isn't good for much else, unfortunately.
