Toy & Grocery bargains at the 99 Cents Only Stores! Everyday shopping today was a pleasure after Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. My best buy in Grocery was this enormous 18-pack of Quaker Chewy Granola Bars! For about a nickel a piece, I stocked-up for my family’s upcoming road trips & for days when I have “Snack Mom” responsibilities:
- Quaker Granola Bar Variety Pack, 18-count
- Earthbound Farms Organic Spring Mix, 11 oz.
- Earthbound Farms Organic Half & Half Mix, 5 oz.
- Kraft Singles Swiss Fat Free, 10.7 oz.
- Butterball Roasted Turkey, 16 oz.
- Roma Tomatoes, 8 ct.

I am hunting down affordable toys suitable for donations, Angel Tree giving, Secret Santa, and stocking-stuffers. These card games were only $1 each. For younger children, the Cars 2, Toy Story, and Fisher Price games are classics which also develop visual discrimination skills important for pre-reading. For older children, there’s Trivial Pursuit Steal (compare at $5.86 on amazon!). I also found PEZ dispensers with various characters, including the Disney Cars characters:
- Trivial Pursuit Steal
- Disney Cars 2 Red Light, Green Light & Spy
- Fisher Price Go Fish
- Toy Story Go Fish & War

I love .99 cent only store. I also got the granola bars. Great deal. My best deal was 1.5 lb packages of Oscar Meyer turkey. I got 20 packages because I live in California, the land of no doubles.

Tracey, I also live in the land of no doubles Northern CA so I’m passionate about 99 Cents Only! We’ve managed to wean ourselves from Safeway by stocking-up @ 99 Cents Only–just like you did. It’s funny because my store displayed the Quaker granola bar boxes — the 18-ct. & the 8-ct.– side by side…and both were priced $1.

I found the Littlest pets from the Littlest Pet Shop for donations! It’s a great place for stocking stuffers and for donations!

Wow- another great trip! I am hoping those granola bars are still there tomorrow- I don’t think I can get over there before then!! I scored a bunch of the LPS toys on my last trip, too. HUGE savings on those!
