Dollar Tree is a go to spot when you are keeping things low budget…read more It is great for holiday wrapping paper, party decorations, and all the small extras you need when planning something without overspending. If you are hosting a party or putting together something simple, you really cannot beat the value here. It is not about luxury, it is about practicality and price, and for that, this place absolutely delivers.

OMG this store has quickly become one of my favorite places! They have everything! Most of the…read morestore is $5 and below (hence the name) with some items that are a little more expensive like headphones, etc. I have found lots of things for work, my car, really any time I need something random. I'm on the go a lot, so I have found lots of things here I didnt even know I needed. They even have gym equipment and an electronic section. There's also a beauty section full of dupes for more expensive products like perfumes, makeup, skin care, and body care. The food aisle are really fun to browse through. They have lots of rare and hard to find snacks. They also have a lot of seasonal items and things that would be great for a last minute gift. They even have a ton of interesting books to choose from. You do need to keep track of what you're spending though, because even though most items are $5, it can add up quickly.

Wish I could leave a 0 just called the store to ask if they had an item in stock and the girl who…read moreanswered was aggressive from the start and was like "HELLLOOOOOOOO"?? I had started talking and I said what I needed and she kept on with the attitude by adding "THE WHAT"? and clearly impatient and couldn't wait for me to stop speaking and kept cutting me off. Get her removed she sounded annoyed.

When I discover treasures like this, I must ask myself: "What rock have I been hiding under my…read morewhole life?" Target may have met its match. I swear I came here for one item and only one. Since I had just moved and hadn't decided which reverse osmosis water filter to spend the wads of cash I don't have on, I went to what I had presumed was a basic-bitch grocery just for a jug of water. WATER. A responsible purchase to sustain me until I found an adequate filtration system. My head was in the right place. But once I entered this transcendent treasure, my heart sang so loudly that if this is wrong, I don't want to be right. 80% of my grocery shopping list items could be met just like they'd be at any other store--but for significantly cheaper. Beyond the lower price, the variety of products was euphoric. Organic, vegan, non-GMO, non-processed. You know...the good stuff. Look for: -raw almonds (as well as raw cashews) -Califia Farms peppermint mocha latte -Rhythm Carrot Sticks $1.99 (instead of $5.99 for the same-sized product at Whole Foods) -baked snap peas -organic produce (OG blueberries $4.99, OG Cuties $3.99) -ginger turmeric jackfruit chews -alcohol (Tahoe Blue vodka, which rivals my previous-go to Belvedere, $17.99) Unlike a "regular" store, you can't get EVERYTHING here. The only toothbrush available is soft or extra soft bristled. This is definitely the kind of place for fun finds and accidentally crossing off your essential needs. Also anticipate painfully long lines and lackluster customer service (hence only four stars). Perhaps in this sense, you get what you pay for. But if you're not too broke to pay attention, invest in my advice: Grocery Outlet Bargain Market is a cheap delight worth exploring.

Some of the art pieces were pretty pricey but it's expected for art. If you want to bring something home, they have a wall of bag charms that are reasonably priced. Wish they had a little larger of a collection of items to choose from. Definitely recommend dropping by if you're in the area.

Goodies is the cutest shop, with locations sprinkled throughout LA and Orange County. I visited the…read moreCosta Mesa location and loved the layout, symmetry, and minimalism of the store. The pricing is great, and each item is made by artisan makers -- the quality really shows. They even had a sale section, which was a fun surprise. If you're looking for their beautiful wooden ladders or stools, just know they're preorder‑only. You can buy items on their online store and some on Amazon, but stock seems limited and often sells out. Definitely check their social media for restock updates. It's the perfect place for home finds like bowls, plates, cups, baskets, bags, and more. A beautifully curated shop with great prices and thoughtful pieces -- such a gem.

Really awesome place for cards…read more Owners? Workers? Not even sure. But those guys in the store are SUPER nice and knowledgeable. Prices are honest and fair. And they have an instagram account that shows what drops are coming or what they have in stock. You can also sell your own cards to them - they told me to bring my collection in if I wanted some options/opinions. They have single pokemon cards for as low as 10 cents - it really doesn't get better than that.

Keith looked at me like, dude!? You sure you want this to be your first purchase, haha. He also said it should be going up in value and DAMN, he was right! I think it's around $1,500 right now...my point to that was today, 11/11/25, Keith remembered he sold me that card and mentioned it while I was walking out. The guys that work here care about this community and care about the work they do. They're awesome and my son and daughter love coming in here to check out the new items they have. HELPFUL HINT...their storefront is in the BACK. If you go to the "normal front" you'll have to walk around to the backside. There's lots of parking back there and the big roller door is open, you can't miss it. Support local businesses like this...they're few and far between.

Not only is this a hometown spot and part of my "formative" experience growing up in OC, but Avenue…read moreitself is an institution in the Southern California streetwear community! Over the last decade, streetwear has really come into its own- building up from brands like LRG, Obey, and Stussy into The Hundreds, Triumvir, and countless others. Avenue's been through all of that, and the minute you walk in, you get a feeling that these guys really ain't no joke. The folks at Avenue live the lifestyle and believe in the art- because of that, the stuff they carry is always fresh and legit. I remember stumbling into Avenue back in high school, trying to find a place to quench my LRG fix. The main man behind the register, Arthur, not only helped me with what I was looking for, but really took the time out to explain the finer points of streetwear. Every time I stop by, he's always there doing his thing, and mindful of stuff I'd be interested in that's already out or coming out soon. It's places like Avenue that really show what OC is all about- not all that pretentiousness you see on Laguna Beach. Avenue represents this drive for a changing culture that I wish more people could appreciate and acknowledge for what it's worth.
