Of course, there's no fighting involved! It's just a overwhelming atmosphere. It also depends on what they put out and what catches your eye. I wouldn't say they have the best or the worst items--it's all about what you're hoping to find and what they happen to have on display.

Please Read Before Accepting Black Box Prize Gift Cards at Bargain Depot on Goliad Road…read more (San Antonio Shoppers) I want to share my recent experience so no one else runs into the same problem. Nov 14, 2025, I won a $50 Google Play gift card at Bargain Depot, but had to pay $6 because the card came in a "$6 day" black box. I gave it to my son as a birthday gift. When he tried to redeem it, he found out from Google Play that the card was never activated at the store. Gift card activation is something only the store can do at the register. I went back today, Dec 11, 2025, with the physical card in perfect condition. Instead of helping, I was told: "Too much time passed." "We can't do anything about the card." "No one else has had this issue, only you." "We don't know what you did with the card." Not only did they refuse to activate the card or refund the $6 fee, they shifted the blame onto me -- even though activation is 100% the store's responsibility. The card is unexpired, unused, and clearly not activated. The store has complete transactional documentation and photos. Just a warning for others: If you receive or "win" any gift card in a Bargain Depot black box, make sure the store activates it before you leave. If there's an issue later, you may not receive any help from them. Sharing this so others can avoid the same frustration.

I will say that their selection is not as big as some of the other stores that i've seen, but they still have some great deals. This visit, we got a pan to cook with, a phone charging card, some protein powder and even some beauty products. If you're looking to find some great deals, I would definitely recommend to take a walk around and see what you can find.

Wonderful Daiso! I've had these in the last couple of cities I've lived in. It's a great place to…read morebuy inexpensive but nice small items; they have a wide selection of household goods, toiletries, toys, kitchen ware, stationary, crafts, stickers, gift wrapping items, Japanese snacks and drinks. They have some Disney and Sanrio brand items as well. So cute! Their prices are posted with the yen conversion, throughout the store but if not marked, everything is $1.75, but recently they had a price change to $2.25. The items are still definitely worth it and high quality. Their bigger household items are priced as marked. I noticed recently their holiday goods went on sale after the holiday as well. A lot of fun gift items or ideas for favor bags. Nice service and clean, well organized store.

I didn't even have to tell the guy I needed to use the restroom, he saw my face and read my body language to know the dealie oh.

Apparently, you don't like my J-oaks. Let's move on. Pretty spectacular high-end outdoor shopping mall in San Antonio where, unlike the Quarry, every business seems to look the same and have the same design and storefront, which can make it really hard to actually find anything - but it's still really cool. I played a pretty famous show here a very long time ago when there used to be a Borders here. Fun times. We came here recently shopping for Barbie and we had a good time. Late night date spot called the Flying Saucer (and there I thought the one in Houston was a family business, ew). There is an ice cream store here and some bubble tea here that recently changed hands but my girlfriend hasn't changed hands in a while and hopefully she won't anytime soon.
