We must alert Costco devotees to yet another neighborhood bargain store, Dollar King, modeled after 99 Cents Only but bold (and upscale) enough to ask for that extra penny. One recently popped up practically overnight right down the street.
Some extreme values can be found here, such as a quality replacement for my lost sunglasses – an identical version, in fact, of my missing $12 shades for a mere buck. We loaded up (as were many others) on earthquake/nuclear apocalypse supplies including dollar tarps and rolls of duct tape (perfect for blocking radiation leaks), filter masks and goggles, gallon bottles of water and so on. Dollar King is a great source for household items: mops, buckets, high-quality welcome mats. And it’s a good place to pick up a quick bottle of rubbing alcohol or quadruple feature of bad sci-fi flicks on DVD. And you can get a three-pack of triple-header razors. Don’t have to remind the guys how overpriced these can be in supermarkets.
Nothing over a buck. And like 99 Cents, premium vehicles can always be spotted in the parking lot. Porsche and Jaguar are represented, along with the occasional Corvette and Mercedes-Benz AMG. It’s like a freaking car show. Gotta save enough to pay those high insurance premiums, I guess.
