99 cent store

Definition

The retail purgatory where brand-name products go to die slowly, surrounded by mysterious off-brand snacks and party supplies of questionable origin. It's a treasure hunt where the treasure is expired cereal and the stakes are your digestive system.

Example Usage

I needed decorations for the office party but only had $10, so obviously I hit up the 99 cent store.
