Mostly everything in the store costs $1.99.
- Daiso - a Japanese dollar store - opened its first location in New York City's Flushing, Queens, in March.
- The store has a cult following, according to Time Out, because of its consistently low prices on quality Japanese goods.
- We went to the new location just days after it opened and found a huge variety of home goods, Japanese snacks, beauty products, toys, and so much more.
- While it was clear they were dealing with the rush of just having opened, the shelves were pretty well-stocked, and the store didn't look like it had been ransacked by excited shoppers - even though there were plenty of them there.
- Although Daiso is advertised as a dollar store, there are signs that say everything costs $1.99 unless stated otherwise. Most things were $1.99, and some were marked at either a lower or higher price point.
- Here's what the new location looks like and what you can buy there.
