I love the 99cent store! Where else can I find olive oil for a dollar for my pasta? A pound of krab meat for a dollar? An asian bag of mixed sea food with octopi and squid for a buck? Note book paper and lead pencils and dice for my paper/pencil rpg? And some have cheap wine that's great for cooking recipies. Jones cream soda for when you want a non cola drink. A dozen eggs, english muffins, and corn beef hash for breakfast. A bag of potatos, some frozen veggies, and frozon fish fillets for dinner. And let's not forget Earl Grey Tea imported from England and Green tea with ginsing from China.
Sometimes, you can have quality And quantity too.
