After nearly four decades in business, 99 Cents Only stores are closing, leaving several Houstonians looking for alternative options.
Frozen food, dairy and deli are just some of the items people can find at the 99 Cents Only store.
“Vengo a comprar huevos los huevos lo tienen buen precio aqui y muchas cosas los platos de papel tiene buen precio,” said Victor Alvarado.
Victor Alvarado shops at the 99 Cents Only store in the Greenspoint area often. He said he’s on disability and the prices for him here are affordable. All of the items he bought came out to around $32
Now that the store is closing for good, he has to find another affordable place to shop. Read more: www.khou.com/a...

Gee, and here you all were saying how great our economy is. I guess it's only great for some people.

Of course the economy isn't great for everyone - it never has been and never will. That comment is ridiculous. There will aways be poor, uneducated, and illiterate people.

@@truegrit7697 our education has been systematically undermined for decades. The amount of uneducated and illiterate people is controllable - if we choose to control it! Christ said the poor will always be with us. That may be so. But I prefer their poverty to be caused by the acts of God, not by the selfish laziness of man kind.

99 cents stores are very popular in Japan(100 yen in here). They help for the people with low income. You can get almost everything from $1-$10 I think society needs these kind of stores.

I agree that corporate greed is just insane lately. Little cup size ice cream in whole foods made by "Jose and Juan LLC" they are selling around $9. How in the world 2 cups of milk, 2 table spoons of sugar, 2 table spoons of cream with 15 cents package became $9? But on the other side I don't think honestly people need a lot of food to live a decent life. I grew up in Soviet Union, - we needed after 1991 to plant our own veggies to survive. So those people in our community far away from this survival. They also need to limit their appetites where veggies and chicken twice a week will be sufficient. Get 50 pounds of rice, get buckwheat, get macaroni. They are dirt cheap especially when you are buying in bulk. Get the veggies. Stop buying canned drinks. Lady yesterday in front of me with her kid picked up in front of me pack of cola. Learn about some farmers south of Houston. For example Cambodian community South Houston growing their veggies and then selling to stores. You probably can buy those directly as well.

This is intolerable. Food insecurity is very real problem in cities. I volunteered for a food bank in San Francisco and the people who received the food were forever grateful for whatever was provided. It's a very humbling experience to see. Some of these major corporate grocery stores should take over 99 cents and provide them with financial backing as a public pro bono service. God knows they sure know how extract every dollar from us who can afford to buy groceries despite the price. Food is a fundamental life necessity. No IFs ANDs, or BUTs about it. People have to eat

I agree. Imagine living on ramen noodles since august of 2023. Like me. People will be fine. Food isn't expensive. Steaks, shark, pufferfish are expensive. A whole tube of oatmeal: $5 for 90 servings. 6 servings per day = $10 per month. It's not fun, but you won't die. That's an example. You can do that with other items like rice, beans, pasta, grits, mash potatoes, tuna, etc.
