    Still the Biggest and the Best…read more What does $10 get you these days? Not much, unless you shop at Last Chance Store. My favorite day of the week to go there is Wednesday. Everything in the many, huge 'Bargain Bins' is just $1 each. The available merchandise constantly changes every week. If you like 'treasure hunting', this place satisfies that urge. Here's a well known secret that keeps customers coming back over and over again. If you're there on Wednesday, during the 'Magic Hour(s)', which is usually announced sometime after 12 noon to approx. 1 pm, a "Fill-er Up Special" begins. The special promo ends when they say so and the store often closes early (time varies and it could be as soon as 2 pm-ish). Tall kitchen-sized trash bags (approx. 13 gallon size) are dispensed (for 10 cents each, which is paid for during check-out to the cashier). You'd be surprised how much a single trash bag can hold. And, you're not limited to just one bag. I took pictures of my bargain haul on 5-20-26 and laid them out in an organized manner for you to see.

    I was a bit surprised to see this store still open, as it always looks fairly empty up front from…read morethe outside. I remember this location from back in the day was a movie theatre and then in the most recent years, a LA Fitness. I used to go to the gym here often and so it felt a little nostalgic walking in remembering when the gym got renovated. Now at Last Chance, it's been transformed into more of a giant warehouse of random things. Gone is the fresh paint and shiny gym mirrors and instead it's replaced with tables filled with random stuff. It is more like a giant garage sale and the whole place had a noticeable odor. The overall atmosphere also felt a bit uncomfortable for me personally due to the security presence. This spot wasn't the right fit for me, but for others they may have a different experience.

    First time coming to a General Discount store. I'm used to shopping at 99 cent stores. They closed…read moredown this year. So I'm still looking for a good alternative. This is definitely not it. Came here to get some turkey basters, some stationary products like paper, pens, pencils, markers, and any other cheap stuff I don't need. That's exactly how I shopped at 99 Cent store. Most of the cheap stuff here is doubled the price that would've been priced at 99 Cent store. So this is not a good 99 Cent store alternative. Example: Turkey basters were "on sale" for 99 cent (they were sold out). But they were sold out. Reynold's aluminum foil was "on sale" with required coupon found in paper (they didn't have any papers in store), for 99 cent. Luckily I had my paper that was in my junk mail. As the regular price is over $3. They must be crazy. This is a discount store. I expect discount prices. Otherwise I can go to Vons or Ralph's and pay some change more for the same brand. Their selection for cheap stuff under $2.00 is slim. Most of the 99 cent stuff is "on sale" for a certain amount of time. Most of the good sales that are shown in the paper are out of stock. I barely found stuff that was useful for my needs. Because they have such a small selection of stuff in comparison to 99 Cent stores. Aisles in store are narrow as ever. You will have to turn your body sideways so others can squeeze pass you and your cart. I'm slim and still had this issue. Parking lot is shared with tons of businesses in shopping area. But there is plentiful available parking, especially on a Saturday morning at 10am (store opening hours) when I went. But the parking spaces are small af. You will get door dings or give door dings from getting out vehicle. I noticed a lot of people taking up two spaces. I guess so they won't get or receive door dings. Lastly, I read some bad reviews about a store Latino male security guard who watches everyone like a hawk and will confront you if your purse is a backpack or a designer bag and demand that you leave it up front in a cart. Well, I didn't encounter him. There was a black male security guard working Today. I didn't have any issues out of him. There is also LPAs who follow folks around the store. I'm guessing that this store experiences a lot of shoplifting. Because LPAs (loss prevention agents) were deep in here and watching everyone like a hawk. The cashier was friendly. But there was only 1 cashier opened. So lines were long. Bottom-lime, I won't return. Next time I'm in area, I'll try out Dollar Tree, located in shopping center across the street

I attend a Dementia Support Group on the 2nd Thursday of each month in Whittier. This year I managed and was lucky to find scraps, mittens, throw blankets, socks for our seniors.. I was litterally shocked at the price and the quality the beanies and scrarfs were made of that I went and asked if they had more. We have lost a few bussiness and I feel I have found my new spot.

    General Discount - This is all I bought. Injectors were "on sale" for 99 cent. Discount General is definitely not a good alternative to 99 Cent store
